Brian Ward's Obituary
Our beloved Brian Ward passed away August 10th, 2024. He was iconic. Brian was generous, kind, intelligent, witty, down to earth, loved good food and enjoyed wave/wind sports in his earlier years. He was always up for an adventure and lived life to the fullest with a sense of humor that was not always PC, but was terrific nonetheless. Brian was a master craftsman and builder which was on full display in the stunning home that he so proudly built alongside Shannon. He loved HIS Shannon with all his heart and the life that they had created together in their sandy paradise. He also loved and cared for each one of their dogs over the years and even patiently tamed a few stray cats along the way.
To know Brian, was to love Brian and our hearts are so deeply broken by his passing. But in the midst of the pain we find hope in Jesus. We believe that Brian made the decision to call on the Lord and that we will see him again in a new kind of paradise. We humbly ask that you take a moment to think about Brian and also look into your own heart. This life is so short but eternity is forever. Jesus loves each of you. He gave His life and rose again for you and He wants you to spend eternity with Him (and we're sure Brian would love that too).
Brian did not want any sort of memorial service. We will, however, be making a request to have both Brian and Shannon's Facebook pages memorialized. We hope that these may be used as places for family and friends to share stories, pictures and/or special memories of Brian and Shannon.
