BRADLEY TREVARTON OSTASH

Bradley Trevarton Ostash, a man of unwavering determination and infectious humour passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 8, 2024 at the age of 66, after enduring for many years a painful and difficult spinal cord condition. 

Brad was a devoted husband to Jane and loving and supportive father to Cara (Andrew), Eric (Maria), Kelly (Eric) and Danny. His grandchildren, Ryder, Charlie and Oliver brought him great joy, and special grand-dog Sadie provided much comfort and companionship to Brad during his hardest days.

He will be greatly missed by his siblings Laurie (Mark), Jeff, Colleen (Harry) and Chris, his stepmother Betty, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family. He was predeceased by his parents Harvey Ostash and Judy Lynne Warnock and his stepfather Wayne Warnock.

Brad was born and raised in Winnipeg. In his early years he was a rink rat at Crescentwood Community Centre and later attended Grant Park High School. He formed many lifelong friendships through school, hockey and work. He met Jane, the love of his life soon after graduation, and they celebrated 41 years of marriage. Brad and Jane had many adventures and travels together and particularly enjoyed road trips and family holidays at Grand Beach when the kids were young.

Brad worked in Quality Control and Quality Assurance for most of his career. In his professional life, he was known for his tireless work ethic and his dedication to mentoring others. He first joined the Quality Assurance Department at Bristol Aerospace as a QA technician. He trained as an internal auditor and became a specialist in his field. After leaving Bristol he transitioned into the world of ISO Registration and became one of the most respected auditors in Western Canada with clients across Canada and the United States. In addition, Brad was an entertaining presenter, teaching classes in auditing and filling his classes with laughter.

Brad’s passion for his work and for his family was matched by his love for the outdoors, where he found solace in fishing and camping with family and friends. He was an avid photographer and was often seen with camera in hand, capturing moments now enjoyed by his family. If you were lucky enough to be at the table when Brad served his famous apple pancakes, then you know he was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals for his family. He loved American racing series like NASCAR and Indy, and had strong opinions about their superiority over Formula 1. 

Brad’s greatest passion however was for the game of hockey, whether playing the game himself in his youth, cheering on the Winnipeg Jets or watching his kids and later his grandson, yelling “BURN IT” from the sidelines.

Tomorrow is not promised, live each day to the fullest.

Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held.
