It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Brant after a hard fought battle with cancer. He will be dearly missed by his wife Lotti, daughters Taryn (Shane) Millman, Jena (Francis) Praeker, and housemate Kristin.

Brant was predeceased by his brother Keri in 2005 and his mother-in-law Elsie in 2007. Brant always said that his biggest accomplishment in life was raising his two precious daughters who he was extremely proud of. All of his life his passion had been cars of any kind. He enjoyed driving them, polishing them, watching them, fixing them, and racing them. In his 56 years he owned over 25 different vehicles. His last purchase was a 67 Shelby 500 which he cherished. Some of his jobs included farming, road paving, U-Haul, Mobile Oil, Czar Resources, Husky, and Costal Hydropower Corp. Brant had a very colorful outlook on life with many adventures. He loved to visit and tell stories about the good old days with he brothers and friends. He will be deeply missed.
