BRIAN CRAIG FAWKES
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Brian, son, brother, uncle, colleague, and friend, who died suddenly at age 52. He leaves to mourn his mother Sharon; brother Brent (Heidi); sister Brenda (Nancy); and nephews Eric, Matthew, Nathan, and Joel. He was predeceased by his father Jeffrey.
Brian was born in Winnipeg and attended schools in Charleswood, graduating from both Oak Park High School and the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (formerly Winnipeg Technical). After graduation, he entered the Graphic Design Program at Red River College, where he later worked as a Coordinator and Instructor.
Brian loved his work in graphic design, marketing, and advertising. He started his company very shortly after post-secondary education and won many international design awards. As his company expanded, he valued his new clients, many of whom became friends. As a colleague, friend, and family member, he was immensely creative, extremely funny, kind, generous, a perfectionist and hard working. He liked to surround himself with extremely talented people and collaborate on projects. He always strived to continue to grow and learn in his field.
Outside of work, he enjoyed entertaining friends and family with good food and time by his pool. Having worked from an early age at his father’s business, he developed exceptional skills in completing projects around the house or working on his cars in his shop. He enjoyed travel, particularly over the last few years, visiting Maui. There, he could combine sun, relaxation, and his favourite—seafood.
Brian offered his time to the CNIB Board of Directors, Manitoba Crime Stoppers, Manitoba Dental Foundation and often provided his creative work to non-profits pro bono (graphics and logos). He supported his family and friends with various projects. A time of remembrance and the interment of ashes will be held in early July.
Donations can be made to the CNIB Guide Dogs Foundation or The Manitoba Dental Foundation mdf.ed@manitobadentist.ca
