Obituary of Russell David Brant

My son Russell died suddenly in my arms on the afternoon of March 27^th, 2025.

Paramedics arrived quickly, but it was too late. Bill Lake worked his hardest on him, but as a mother, I knew it was too late.

Russell was born in Swindon, England. He came over to Canada at 14 months with me, his mum, Ginny. So, Canada was his home.

Russell graduated Western Memorial High School in Calgary in 2008.

Russell has had many jobs, but none more important as his main one, looking after and raising his son Sebastian. He had finally found his calling in Geriatric Care. He loved the elderly. Russell just completed his BC Care Aid Certificate at The College of the Rockies, and he would have started his new job as a Care Aid on April 3^rd.

Russell is survived by his mother Ginny, stepfather William, Sacha the mother of his son, his son Sebastian and his recent new love and best friend Becky.

He will be met by his grandfather Tim, grandmother Beryl, uncle and namesake Russell David. People in town may have seen him walking around town with his son on his shoulders. Two peas in a pod.

There will be a Celebration of Life held at the Event Centre, next to Canal Flats Coffee Shop, on May 31^st, 2025 from 2-4pm.

Family and friends are welcome to join us for food and drinks at our home afterwards.

Donations to Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation appreciated.
