Brian Tracy

1952 ~ 2014

It is with sadness the family announces the passing of Brian Calvin Tracy of Lac du Bonnet, on January 6, 2014.

Brian was born on September 25, 1952 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  He was predeceased by his father Paul Tracy, mother Mary Wazny and brothers Craig and Keith.  Brian is survived by his ex-wife and partner Noreen of 20 years, son Dayne, stepdaughter Leyan, step granddaughter Freya, step grandson Logan, brother Gary Wazny, sister Roxanne, and many of his numerous friends and “jam buddies”.

Brian grew up in Winnipeg and graduated from Transcona Collegiate Institute with  HONOURS in 1970.  Brian went on to university and graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Mechanical) degree in 1977.

Brian’s engineering work took him to Northern Alberta, Chalk River in Ontario and finally to Pinawa where he worked for AECL until 1996. He later went on to further his studies to become a Boiler Inspector and worked a number of years all over Ontario and Manitoba.

His son Dayne was born in 1995 and was the center of his universe. He took his son on many adventures which included fishing trips, nature hikes and skiing in the mountains.

Brian had a passion for music.  Every year he would take his son Dayne and attend every music festival he could. At those festivals Brian was happiest. He could talk (because we all know he loved to do that), listen to live music, sing, play guitar and spend time with his son.

Boating, fishing, camping, hiking, astronomy, there was never a dull moment with Brian around! Road trips to Yellowstone Park, California, and the West were just some of the adventures we did.  Brian loved all outdoor activities especially winter activities like skiing and would love to ski the black diamonds.

Brian loved his “toys” and took great pride in them which meant they were always showroom ready. His newest purchase; a Lexus SC 430 hardtop convertible, was his dream car and took great satisfaction in owning it.

Brian was ALWAYS up for doing something and would always have an open door to anyone who wanted to come over and visit. Many days and nights were spent visiting and jamming in the garage with Brian. We will ALL miss Brian for he was a ‘shining star’ and his light will continue to shine in us as bright as Halley’s Comet.  We love you Dad/Brian and may you rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus until we meet again.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, January 11th at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Ave. E., Beausejour, followed by a gathering at the Sungro Centre.
