Raymond Brent Burdeyny passed away unexpectedly at the Mission Hospital on March 3rd, 2022, at the age of 54. Brent was born in Saskatoon on June 20, 1967, to the late Raymond and Patty Burdeyny. Brent grew up in Saskatoon until his family relocated to Prince Albert in 1979. Once he graduated high school, he enrolled in the College of Engineering through the University of Saskatchewan.  During his years here he played varsity football and enjoyed all University had to offer.  His next chapter included working for the mining industry at Placer Dome in Vancouver, working as a geologist in Snow Lake and then pipelining across the Prairies.  In 1994, while pipelining and working part-time for the Casino in Saskatoon, he met his wife-to-be Lisa, and her son, Graham.  Together they moved to Abbotsford where they married and started their life together.  Brent began his career in the construction industry in BC and built a rich life that included playing rugby with the Abbotsford Rugby Club, boating in and around BC, golfing locally and abroad, travelling with Lisa, as well as playing competitive racquetball that included several National Championships.

In 2011, Brent found and developed his dream land in Mission, BC.  It is here that he channeled his creative spirit and vision to develop a beautiful piece of property for himself and his family.  Brent loved living in and contributing to the Mission community.  He was a former member of Mission Search and Rescue, served on the Mission Golf Club Board of Directors and enjoyed his membership with the Mission Rod and Gun Club.

Brent will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Brent was predeceased by his stepson Graham and his parents Raymond and Patty. He is survived by his loving wife Lisa, grandson Chase Lee-Senger, sister Barbara and brother-in-law Ron Jones of Prince Albert, SK and his nephew and niece Mitchell and Marissa Jones. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 3:30 on Friday, April 1, 2022 at the University of the Fraser Valley Student’s Union Hall, 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC.   Condolences may be sent to the family at ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Brentburdeyny@gmail.com.
