Brian Bignell Obituary

Brian Bruce Bignell was born on June 14, 1959. Brian was the eldest son of the late Jonah and Mildred Bignell (Spence) of The Pas, Manitoba.

As a young man, he made bikes from discarded parts and also put headlights and breaks with lights.  His younger cousins thought that was cool.  In the winter he had a skidoo which was loud with no hood.  He was proud of making it run. 

In the early 1980, Brian travelled to British Colombia with the late Julius Young.  A lot of stories were told and some made up. Seeing Bigfoot or UFO’S flying by in the night.

Brian (“Cyclops”) will be missed by his Brother, Lester Bignell (Flora), Sister, Leona Paul ( Leonard) Nieces and Nephews,  Janet, Mike (Jenn), Lawrence, Leon, Dylan, Vanessa, Rebecca, and Lester Jr,  Alex, Flora, Angel,  and his Chapan, Jonah (affectionately called “Midget”) Cassius;  Aunties, Shannon Pelly, Mabel Bignell, Pauline Bignell, Roma Bignell; Uncles, Allan ( Flora) Bignell; and many cousins,  too many to mention. 

Brian was predeceased by his Father, Jonah Bignell; Mother, Mildred; Brothers, Sam, Bernard, Louis; Auntie, Isabel Young, Mary Pacey, Marie Bignell;  Uncles, Joe Bignell, Oliver Bignell, Dennis Bignell, Jonah Young;  Grandparents, Alex and Rachel Bignell.
