February 21, 1983 - November 23, 2024
“Gone but not forgotten. Forever remembered, forever missed.”
In loving memory of Brent Edward Langan
Son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.
Brent was born and raised in Prince George, British Columbia where he spent his time playing hockey, football, baseball and boxing. Brent was a proud member of Gamblers First Nation in Manitoba. Brent graduated from Kelly Road Secondary in 2002. Brent had a successful career as a tradesman, where he specialized in welding. He worked the shutdowns at the local mills in PG, BC, the Oil Rigs, the Husky Oil Refinery and spent over a decade at Hurricane High Pressure.
He is survived by his father Edward Langan and mother Darlene Lipus. Brothers Vince, Alfie (Shawna), Eddie (Sandra). Sisters Maggie Rose, Loretta (John), Patricia (Shawn), Brenda (Kevin), several aunties, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Brent is also predeceased by his grandparents William Charles Langan and Rosalie Tanner, Charles and Anne Lipus.
Brent had a deep love for his family and friends. His passion for sports was more than a pastime, it was a celebration of community, dedication and joy. Whether cheering from the stands, playing alongside friends, Brent’s enthusiasm was infectious. Brent’s proudest moment was when he played hockey for Team Canada across Europe and in Czechoslovakia they won the silver medal. Brent enjoyed outdoor activities and spent his spare time hunting and fishing. Depending on the season you can always find him on either a snowmobile, quad or riding his motorcycle.
Though he may no longer be with us, Brent’s legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched. His love for life, his unwavering loyalty and his joyful spirit will be forever in our hearts.
“If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.”
Rest in peace, Brent. You will always be in our hearts.
