Brian Pinske
September 1, 1957 - May 28, 2024
Tribute
We rejoice with great sorrow and grieve with great rejoicing to announce that on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, our husband, father, Papa, son, brother, and uncle, Brian Duane Pinske, quietly left this life and went to be with Jesus Christ his Lord. He was pre-deceased by his three pre-born children, his maternal grandmother Lillian Willis, his father John Pinske, and his baby sister Tracy Thompson.
Brian leaves behind his wife, Laurel; children, Heather (Michael), Rebecca (Donny), and Michael (Virginia); grandchildren, Taelynn, Lee, Koston, and Milla; his mother, Bernice (Bob); his siblings, Bob (Lia), Connie, Tammy (Michel), and Lori; nieces and nephews, Dana, Corrie, Amanda, Lindy, Jonathon, Melanie, Kimberly, Bryenna, Haley, and Tayler; and numerous great-nieces and nephews and their children, and cousins galore.
He was born on September 1, 1957, to John and Bernice Pinske in Lloydminister, SK, the third of six children. The family moved to Oliver when he was 10 and after leaving home, he spent time in Vancouver and Houston, BC. Brian and Laurel married in 1980 and lived in Prince George, Oliver, Malta, North Vancouver, Mexico, and finally Osoyoos.
A memorial service will be held for Brian on Saturday, June 22 at 1pm at New Beginnings Church, 101 – 96 Edmonton Ave, Penticton, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Burning Platform (theburningplatform.com) or Choice for Two (choice42.com/donate)

Laurel, so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. I see you have found something good even in this. You always could.
Brian was so devoted to you. I remember him waiting anxiously, day after day, for you to finish work at the church so you could join him. I expect this leaves a huge hole in your heart. Take care.

Brian was an online friend and sparring partner on The Burning Platform. He was intelligent, funny, and always kind and respectful even when we disagreed. I always enjoyed chatting with him about common interests. He loved his family and often said he’d do anything to protect them. I will miss his insight and sense of humor.
RIP, friend. I feel privileged to have crossed your path in this life.
