Obituary of Brian Walton

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brian Walton, a beloved member of the Hanna, Alberta community. Brian passed away peacefully on December 21, 2024, at the age of 75.

Born and raised in Hanna, Brian had a deep connection to the land and the people of his hometown. Known for his kindness, hard work, and unwavering dedication to family and friends, Brian left an undeniable mark on all who knew him. He was a devoted husband, father, papa, g-papa and his love for his family was evident in everything he did.
