In Loving Memory
Bryan Wuzinski
Bryan Wuzinski
It is with much love and deep sorrow, that we mourn the passing of Bryan Wuzinski on October 9, 2025 in Vernon, British Columbia, at the age of 76 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his long-time partner, Lin, his ex-wife, Connie, and his children, Sterling (Jen) and Cyndi (Raf); grandchildren Kassidy, Kierra, Julian, and Trelane; sisters: Pat, Loretta, Betty, Melvina, Sheila and brother Terry; along with other relatives and friends.
Bryan lived life to its fullest; flying his Cessna 170, fishing in the Arctic, stock car racing and ice racing with Team Haywire in Fort McMurray. Bryan was hired at the Calgary Elks Lodge & Golf Club as the oldest professional golfer in the P.G.A. of Alberta, went on to Priddis G&CC as a teaching pro, and managed Wintergreen G&CC. He was talented working with machines, and building things, including a “1948 Panhead” Harley, and two beautiful homes in Bragg Creek, Alberta and Wynndel, British Columbia. He loved to laugh, watch sports and make bad wine. He was a kind-hearted man who loved to tell stories, and then very competitive when curling or racing. He loved to spend time outdoors, hunting and fishing, and was satisfied eating what he caught, and was very proud of the drum he made from a deer hide.
He was dedicated to donating blood for the Canadian Blood Services and loved volunteering at the Roots and Blues Festival in Salmon Arm and the Vernon Folk-roots Music Society.
A Celebration of Life will be held in June in Selkirk, Manitoba, where he was born and raised.
Memorial donations may be made in the name of Bryan Wuzinski to the Okanagan Humane Society, PO Box 29110 OKM, Kelowna, BC. V1W 4A7. Registered Charity #8888 17269 RR 0001. https://okanaganhumanesociety.com/donate/, or donate blood, or play a tune on the guitar or banjo for him.

Sincerest condolences, Lin, and to all who knew him and loved him. He led such a full life, with memories galore, just a little shorter than it maybe should have been.
Too bad about the wine; but nobody gets everything right, all the time.
Peace and love,
Chris
We were incredibly happy to see Uncle Byran and Aunt Lin out in Manitoba during a family reunion in August 2024. We talked about his bike, his cats, his music and his volunteering with the music festival and it was clear that he was enjoying life and still had a spirit of adventure. We will gather again but just wish he would be there. But then again, he will be there, in spirit, as we honour him with food, family, friends and some music. Condolences to all.
