It is with extreme sadness we announce the sudden passing of our handsome son, brother, uncle, nephew and grandson in Kenora, Ontario.
Bryan is survived by his mother, Marilyn Jack, stepdad Lamont Kabestra; Father Edward Skeid, and stepmom Candy Skeid. He is also survived by his siblings Marvin (Patricia), Barrie (Serena), Elycia Skeid, Jenna, Jesse, Shane Paypompee, Freeman Jr. (Denise), Freedom, Chenille White and Cheyenna (Douglas III) Skead. Grandmother Effie (Earl), Uncles Dennis, Sammy (Elaine), Danny (Raven), Jesse Anderson, Gordie, Dennis, and Albert Halverson. Aunties Pam Mekawi (Sharif) and Donna Anderson. Grandfather Tom Anderson (Shirley) and Auntie Marjorie. A special mention to his best friends Ricky Houle and Jordan Deamel and many more too numerous to mention.
Bryan is predeceased by his Great-Grandfather Joe Skeid Sr, Joe Skeid Jr., Grandmother Marie Skeid, George Skeid, Simon Skeid, Uncle David, Uncle Byron, Auntie Tanya, Cousin Benjamin, Uncle Barrie Jack, and Auntie Aggie Jack.
He will be greatly missed by the Fox Family and the many, many friends from Wauzhushk Onigum First Nation and the surrounding area.
Bryan, aka Brains, graduated with honours from St.Thomas Aquinas Catholic School and went on to become an important part of the Solid Construction Family. He loved fishing, snowmachining, working, and, most importantly, spending time with family in Bald Indian Bay.
Bryan’s love of life was shown through the laughs he inspired and the many co-workers and friends who loved him as family. His endless energy was poured into the countless times he helped with projects at home, plus renovating Marvin’s house.
The Family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Solid Construction, the OPP officers and paramedics who attended the scene, Brown’s Funeral Home, Wauzhushk Onigum Foundation, and Chief & Council. We appreciate the numerous meals prepared by Becky, Tyson, and Rhonda. Also, the sewing ladies, The Reef Store, and the many workers who supported the family. We embrace you all. Miigwetch.
