It is with great sadness we announce the passing of a son, brother, uncle, great uncle, and friend, BRIAN DARWIN WHITE MAN LEFT - Somiitoo” on September 20th, 2018 in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 49 years. Brian was born in Cardston, Alberta on June 6, 1969 and was raised on the Blood Reserve and in Cardston. In his adult years, he chose to live in Calgary to further his education. He attended school in Stand Off, St. Mary’s, and Cardston. He received his GED and numerous certificates from LCC.
He was a very humble, loving and considerate person who had an unconditional love for his mom Linda. Because of this, he was jokingly labelled “Momma’s Boy” from his siblings but he loved them so much that one of his favorite things to do was to spend time with Wilma, Clarence, Stacey as well as all his nieces and nephews just to make sure they were Okay. This was a bond he made sure would never be broken. Brian had a contagious laugh and smile that when he was talking to you, you would never know if he was serious or not, until he smiled or laughed. He had a very empathetic and caring spirit - always making his “rounds” to family to make sure they were okay and to see if anything needed to be fixed or maintained in their homes. He always ended his visits at his cousin Leanne’s where he would end his extended visits, staying weeks at a time just to make everything was okay. From there, he would check on family and spend time with Wilma before leaving back to Calgary. Brian loved all his nieces and nephews and made it a priority to always call them. He also make sure his Aunt Victoria, whom he adopted as his grandmother, was okay and to assure her that he was always thinking of her. This is why his Grandpa Joe gave him the Blackfoot name “Somiitoo” meaning Wanderer. Brian love animals and throughout is life was always taking in strays - picking them up wherever he went, and bring them home. His longtime loves being his dog “Kujoo” and cat “Garfield”. Brian was very creative and expressed himself thru his writings and poetry. One of his favorite things to do was make crafts, beading, and he spent a lot of time with Bible Study to strengthen his faith with his Savior. Brian’s contagious laugh and humorous side will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
