Brian was fortunate to have had all of you in his life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. With love,Carol & family

I met Brian at work in 2019 and at 1st meeting itself I recognized him as a humble and kind-hearted person. He became my mentor, and I’ll always remember him that way. His willingness to help, and unique way of explaining complex issues have left a lasting impression on me. Even his peculiar laugh still resonates in my memory. Brian will be dearly missed. May God’s peace and comfort be with all family members and hugs to Carol.

Our colendences to you Carol and the family. Brian's dedication in coaching and supporting the youth soccer has made a great impact to many individuals in the community. We had great memories cheering on the girls at the soccer tournaments.

Our hearts go out to you, Carol, Adam, Danielle, and all of your family. I'd liked Brian the instant I first met him while contracting at Simplot. Some people are enduringly friendly, generous, and kind, and Brian was one of them. We brightened every time we ran into Brian and Finnegan on the street, and I'll not forget the look in his eye when we spoke about Scarlett on one such stop not so long ago.

My heartfelt condolences to Brian's family and loved ones.

Having had the privilege of working with him on nearly all projects, I can attest to his wealth of knowledge and his kind, friendly demeanor. His patience and calmness in stressful situations were truly admirable, making him a great role model both personally and professionally. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

My thoughts and prayers are with Brian's family. May his soul rest in peace, and may God provide strength and comfort to all during this challenging period.

My deepest condolences.

Brian was a selfless individual, always willing to help and easily approachable. His vast knowledge was as deep as the sea, yet he remained incredibly down to earth. He will be missed dearly by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Carol, Adam, Danielle and Dallas, we were so very sorry to learn of Brian's passing. Brian was always very kind to everyone and he was a great soccer coach to Jenna and all of her teammates. I know you will all miss him terribly. He will be missed by many. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Brian was a great guy. He worked hard and played harder. He was a fierce competitor on the soccer field and went to battle every game. He always had my back. He played centre half and no one got away with a free pass. He was strong on the ball. I have so many great memories of Brian and Carol during my 10 years as his team mate. Go Falcons, Trifons and Victoria Inn. Cathy and I extend our most sincere condolences..Carol and family.

RIP Brian...You were the BEST at anything you did in life!

My deepest condolences. Brian was an amazing talented individual. Having worked with Brian for many years he was always there to help anyone that needed it any time of the day or night. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Sending deepest condolences to all the Rocan family. Brian was a great guy always ready to chat. He will be missed by all. Keep those memories close.

Brian was always the 'hottie' in school (all the girls wanted him as a BF lol) , he was great at sports and always kind to the other kids regardless of how different they may have been. We had fun hanging out on occasion and dressing up for halloween :) I was totally in love with his mom Teri as well (we even worked together for a time) I am so deeply sorry for his loss and pray the family will get through this difficult time with love

Very sorry for your loss. What a great man. I met Brian over 20 years ago while he was with Simplot/KOCH. For a rookie salesperson he was very intimidating to meet for the first time. Within 5 minutes of meeting with him his friendliness and quiet sense of humor made me feel welcomed and engaged. He always rewarded my visits with something and I really feel he did that to show his appreciation for showing support and providing sublte encouragement to me. I quickly saw Brian as a friend and colleague and enjoyed many golf games, wing nights at Kelsey's and visits with him over the years. He was great person and mentor. He will be deeply missed.

So sorry to hear you have lost Brian - I work in the Electrical world in Brandon and Brian is a true legend in that world.

Brian and Carol are just the nicest people and very kind - two of the most important things in this whole world.

Carol and Family - Deepest Sympathy - you will miss him so much - we all will !

We miss you so much ❤️ I'll always remember your rubbing your scratchy whiskers on me, stacking our hands in restaurants, and your funny and contast jokes. Thanks for raising the best kids, family events will always feeling like something is missing

I will remember with great fondness, hanging out with Brian and Carol on a recent trip to Mexico with lots of laughing on our adventures. He was game to give everything a try.

He was a master burger maker, that is for sure and everytime we had a bbq at the lake and Brian was making burgers my mouth was watering. They were so delicious. Whenever I go to make a burger I try to recreate his but they never taste as good.

We miss you big brother ♥️.
