Brian married Lora Toews on July 25, 1986. Even though parts of his journey were difficult, underneath he had a heart of gold that everyone who knew him, benefited from. His unconditional love and approval for his children were insurmountable. He lived for his grand-kids. He was the biggest hero and could do no wrong in their eyes.

Brian went to school in Wanham, AB. He was a passionate farmer in Heart Valley, AB and found joy in trucking. He was a lover of song, and enjoyed a hearty good quartet with family and friends. He had a keen sense of humor, a talent of story telling and was a master at bartering, “horse-trading,” and negotiating. The family moved to Bow Island AB in 2004.
