Brendon John Morin

Growing up he was the one that could never take a decent photo, he always had to have a silly or funny face, always making everyone laugh. He was the wild child, and had the spirit of a wildflower; he danced to his own tune and didn't care what was "in or out" to society. He loved art, he loved his siblings, family, and wore his heart on his sleeve.

He was the child that asked the intriguing questions, like, "What was Grandma like"...or prepared speeches for Remembrance Day in honour of his Great Grandfather fighting in WWII on Juno Beach for his school. He would tell his little sisters stories of his Brother Nathan sticking up for him from bullies.

Brendon worked in construction for quite some time. He enjoyed time with his friends and would do anything for any one of them in need. He was a very polite person and always made people feel comfortable, even if you didn't know him. There was a troubled side to him, that his family, and a few close friends knew about. We knew who made that side worse and who made it manageable. When it was manageable, Brendon was often with his father, Richard in Calgary, on trips with Lennix, or out and about with Dylan or just relaxing at home with Mom and Sisters.

He enjoyed working and building things. His interest was construction as he built decks and did renovations for a living. His younger Sister was diagnosed with Leukaemia (ALL) when she was two years old, so he was often at home watching the house, while his Father was at work. After his younger sister was born in 2017, he slowly but surely began to put his own life on hold to watch over her. This was due to covid when we couldn't bring siblings to the hospital anymore.

He went above and beyond for his family. He was much more to his own brother; he was a friend, a shoulder to cry on, he was his other half growing up 15 months apart. He was the type of person that you didn't have to ask for help, he would just do it.

For someone who was always there for others and making everyone laugh all the time, we shouldn't have assumed he was emotionally okay. I sure hope his friends begin to check on each other more often from this great loss.
