Leslie, Allison, Laura and Shelby, we are absolutely destroyed hearing the news of Brant. We have so many fond memories of Brant on the soccer field with the girls, hanging out on the street, sharing stories. We were so glad to see you out walking together, for us to share recent stories All our love Gunda and Kevin

I love Brant and I am so sad that he passed away. He’s the most loving person that I could ever love. I like playing with him. We played games and I would always eat his breakfast that Lesley made. I would always go to his office in the basement to see him when he was working. I love Brant.

Sending love and hugs to the whole family.
We are very saddened by the news. Brant will be missed by the Rusak family. He played such a large and important role in our daughters lives. We never had to worry about their care. He was so good with and to the kids, everyone loved him! Harper & Victoria will miss him very much but we will cherish the memories that we have for a lifetime.

What to say, we are still at a loss for words as we can’t believe that this is real.
I still remember sitting on the steps of Brimell Court and seeing you Lesley and Brant when you were first dating, the fun and love you both had. Fast forward to seeing Brant be an amazing and inspiring Dad to Allison, Laura and Shelby. Then my kids came along and boy did they love and have fun with him, they loved going into your basement and just being with him. Just watching a new cartoon that he told them about, playing with him or learning gymnastics and soccer tips and tricks was always amazing to see.
We are all better people having had Uncle Brant in our lives. Love you.

Liza, Peter, Carrigan, Carson & Kendra

I am so sorry to hear that Brant has passed. My best and favourite memory of him is when he would drive Shelby and I to the movies in high school and go circles around and around the roundabout in my subdivision. My condolences to the whole family, he will be greatly missed.

Learning of Brant’s passing was heart-wrenching. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are finding strength in your family and the love of your friends, as we are here for you. Brant will always hold a special place in the boys hearts. If there is anything I can do, whether it is to help you say goodbye, to keep his/her memory alive, to distract you from the pain, or otherwise, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Love Sandra, Barry, Lloyd and Ethan

Lesley, Allison, Laura and Shelby, we are so saddened to hear of Brant’s passing. I called Alex (junior) this morning and he reflected fondly of “the Bant”. Such a kind man and wonderful father and husband. Al and I remembered the time we ran into you and Brant at Swiss Chalet and before you knew it we were sitting down to dinner together chatting. Please reach out if there is anything we can do to help you during this difficult time. Hugs to you all.

Dear Lesley and family
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Brant. I remember so well when we were neighbours and we travelled to Humber College together.
I’ve been praying for you and your family and would love to be in touch with you.

I’m sure you know that I lost my Peter four years ago and I can relate to your great pain and grief. Thinking of you often.

Brant was my direct manager. I was very sorry to suddenly find that he passed away. Brant was a very good person, had a very good and warm heart, and a very good engineer. He was very kind, polite, generous, and thoughtful, respect others, and took care of the team he managed. He had a great sense of humor, and I am very sorry to hear that he is not with us anymore, and at such a young age when many years of doing and being were still ahead of him. My deepest condolences to the family, his wife and three daughters. RIP Brant.
