BRIAN WILLIAM MCGOWAN It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brian William McGowan on October 12, 2012 at home with family by his side.

Brian is survived by his children Bernie (Sheri), Brad (Renate), Sandy (Jim) Krahn and grandchildren Braeden, Blair and Justin. His siblings Bernard (Lil), Shirley McMillan, Jessie Fisher (Howard), Vivian (Jim) Melvin, Millie (Larry) Mudge also many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, brother and sister-in-law Bruce and Donna McGowan and brother-in-law Dennis McMillan. Brian was born December 19, 1942 to Edward and Iva McGowan in Cartwright, Manitoba. He was a proud member of the Local 254 for 50 years and a long standing member of the Canadian Legion Number 4. He enjoyed being outside surrounded by nature and most of all he enjoyed his home at Rock Lake with friends and family dropping in to visit.

Brad & Family We are sorry your Dad passed away too young. Wish permitting, he should have had time to enjoy you and all his family for much longer. Knowing your Dad, he would have liked you and your family to live your lives the best that possibly can be. Teach your kids to remember their Grandpa and teach them that Grandpa lives within all of you. In that way, Grandpa lives forever but life moves on. It is the Circle Of Life. - Posted by: Tineke & Mori (In-Laws) on: Oct 15, 2012

Please accept my condolences to the McGowan family for the loss of your father. When I dated Bernie the son I got to know your parents and your dad was a nice guy. I hope this brings some comfort knowing your dad is in a better place and not suffering. He will never be forgotten by the memories you have of him. God bless the McGowan family. Amen. - Posted by: Cindy Aleck (Used to be friend of son ) on: Oct 14, 2012
