Obituary of Brian S. Lund

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Brian Shawn Lund, loving husband to Rosanne (Maloney), and amazing father to Jack (9) and Sarina (4). Also survived by his parents, Sally and Dr. Ed Lund, brothers Stephen (Sandy), Michael (Linda), Sean (Dannette), sisters Susan (Dr Don Andrew), Kathryn (Jeff Drummond), Maureen (Bruce English), and several nieces and nephews, who worshipped their “Baynard”. Brian was a GG (good guy). He established many valued friendships in his youth that extended throughout his adult years. Larger than life, he was always there to make you smile with a crazy story followed by his boisterous laugh. Brian had a huge heart and his generosity knew no bounds. His passion to help people shone through everything he did. He had an active interest in helping young people build self confidence, and achieved this through his work with the Rainbows Program and similar mentoring programs at area high schools. Brian lived life to the fullest – evident when he purchased a tent trailer this past summer after convincing Rosy that getting back to nature would be an incredible family adventure – indeed, he was right! As a financial adviser for Berkshire Investment Group, he followed the same principles and values with his clients as he did with family and friends. Concern for their well being was his top priority. He was a graduate of Saint Malachy’s High School and St. Thomas University, and enjoyed sports, martial arts, working out, and, of course, his weekly visits to the movie theatre. Brian shared his love of travel with his brothers and sisters, hoping to one day see the world. Part of this dream was realized when he brought home his beautiful daughter Sarina from China, with the help of Susan and Sean. Additionally, this year, Brian was able to combine his love of teaching and for sport through coaching his son’s Atom B Hawks hockey team. This was a very special time for Brian and Jack. Brian adored his family and they adored him – he will be truly missed.
