It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected loss of Brian Richard Paquette on November 13, 2021, at the age of 52.

Brian was born in St. Paul, Alberta to Rose and Jean-Guy Paquette on October 23, 1969 and worked on the farm with his dad while he was growing up. He met Denise Wilson playing slo-pitch in 2001, and they went on to be married on September 20, 2003 and have 3 kids together; Jeremie, Hannah, and Caleb. He was baptized and received in the Catholic Church in September of 2007. Brian worked for 15 years with Rachynski Land Surveys and later Explore Surveys.  After moving to High River, he appreciated the friendships he developed with his crews at the M.D. of Foothills.

Brian was a passionate Montreal Canadiens fan, he loved playing slo-pitch, fishing, and spending time outdoors. He really loved watching his kids play hockey and taking them to be with the horses at the farm. Brian was a caring father and loved his family.
