It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Brian James Reich on October 24, 2024, at the age of 49. Brian was a devoted father, loving husband, cherished son, and caring brother whose zest for life touched all who knew him.
Early Life and Education
Born on June 6, 1975, Brian’s youth was filled with adventure and friendship. He could often be found bombing down hills on his bike, dirt biking, or stirring up good-natured mischief on farms. His adventurous spirit led him to travel and work around the world for a year in his early twenties.
Brian’s passion for learning and the environment guided his academic pursuits. He earned his Master’s degree in Environmental Science from McMaster University and later obtained his B.Ed. from Brock University.
Career and Passions
As an alternative education teacher for the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, Brian found his calling in empowering students to embrace their true selves. Well-respected by his colleagues, anyone who worked alongside Brian knew they were in the presence of a special teacher who truly loved his career. Outside of work, he adored cycling, was a skilled craftsman restoring boats and vehicles, and indulged in woodworking projects.
