Bryan grew up in Mannville, Alberta, where he developed a lifelong love of sports, music, and family. As a young boy, he enjoyed playing many sports, with baseball & fastball holding a special place in his heart. He was a talented pitcher and shortstop.

Along with his athletic pursuits, Bryan was a talented vocalist who won the Youth Talent Contest at the Jubilee Auditorium. He also spent time helping out at his family’s restaurant, where he learned the value of hard work and dedication.

Following high school, Bryan attended NAIT, studying Civil Engineering, while also playing hockey for the NAIT Ookpiks.

Throughout his life, Bryan's love of sports never faded. He enjoyed both playing and coaching on numerous teams. He was a loyal fan of the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Blue Jays and always enjoyed watching a good curling match.

One of Bryan’s most cherished family traditions was the annual Christmas sing-along, gathered around the piano as Diane played their favourite Christmas carols. Bryan also loved a good game of cards or dice, enjoying the laughter, friendly competition, and time spent with family and friends.

Some of Bryan's happiest moments were spent enjoying the outdoors, especially time at the lake. Whether boating, snowmobiling or heading out for an adventure on his ATV, Bryan embraced the simple pleasures of life and the memories made along the way.

A private service will be held at a later date.
