It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brian William Hertz on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at the age of 57 years. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife Sharlene and two sons, Brendan (Kristy Dewald) of Medicine Hat and Adam (Masha Scheele) of Edson. He also leaves to cherish his memory his mother Betty Hertz of Medicine Hat, two sisters, Terry (Quentin) Fauth of Richmound and Sharon (Tim) Klassen of Calgary; one brother David Hertz of Medicine Hat; Sharlene’s parents Val and Bea Wickenheiser and her family; as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father John Hertz. Brian grew up in Burstall and moved away in his late teens to play hockey at Notre Dame in Wilcox, Saskatchewan. He then played a few seasons with the Swift Current Broncos. He met and married Sharlene in Medicine Hat and they recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. Brian worked at Methanex for many years before starting his own business, Brovac Mobile Vacuum Services, in 2000. He proudly grew the company from a one-man show to 25 employees with a current fleet of 15 trucks located throughout Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Brian’s dynamic personality was a testament to the saying “big things come in small packages”. He lived his life to the fullest and was always young at heart. He enjoyed fishing, hockey, baseball, football, jet skiing, snowmobiling and golfing but the most important thing to him was his family. Nothing made him more proud than seeing his boys grow up to be the men they are today. Brian you are loved by many, will be missed beyond words, and will live in our hearts forever. Family and friends will gather for prayers in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. The funeral mass will be celebrated in Holy Family Parish (1451 Strachan Road SE) on Thursday, May 2, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. A private family interment will follow in the Hillside Cemetery.
