It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brandon Big Plume of Calgary, AB, on Friday, June 19, 2020 at the age of 48 years.
Brandon lost his mom when he was 2 years old and was raised by his grandmother Rachel Big Plume. As a result, they were very close and he recognized her as his mother. Brandon was kind to everyone and he always treated the kids well and enjoyed playing with them. They all liked him and always asked for him whenever they visited Grandmother’s. Neighbours and leaders were also good to Brandon. Healthy Living always supported him especially when he called his favorite Counselor, Corinne Eagletail/Frazier.
Brandon attended St. Benedict and St. Augustine schools.
Brandon enjoyed rodeos, Indian Days, all types of music, and working for his uncle Dean, who he was very close to, as well as the rest of his family. Brandon also loved visiting his extended family in the Kainai Reserve.
