September 2, 1950 - February 26, 2025
On Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at Humboldt District Hospital surrounded by his family Brian Wallace Shewchuk 74 years, of Watson passed away peacefully.
Brian was born on September 2, 1950, to Metro and Anne (nee Hupka) Shewchuk, at Watson. He was the youngest of 3 sons.
He obtained all of his education at Watson. Following school Brian went up north to work on a seismic crew but after a few winters Brian realized that the pull of the land was very strong, and it brought him back to the family farm near Watson where he remained until his passing.
Brian married Iris Sosnowski on August 9, 1980, in Wakaw. Together they began their lives on the family farm. They were blessed with five children, Shawn, Clint, Deanna, Shauna and Lance.
Brian and Iris ran a mixed farm, he thoroughly loved every aspect of the farm life. His favorite was working with animals especially his herd of Angus and Limo cattle. The calving season brought him much satisfaction.
Beside his family and the farm Brian had another love, and this was participating in many tractor pulling competitions with his Ford tractors across the province. He was a very talented operator and mechanic which was proven by how many pulls he won. Very seldom did he lose. Brian spent many hours tinkering in his shop. He was very hard worker, funny and cracked a lot of jokes. He especially enjoyed visiting with many people.
Brian was a very busy and active man, he very seldom walked. It appeared he was always on a mission.
