Bryan William Burington

Bryan William Burington was born August 30, 1963 in Menomonie, Wisconsin. He was raised in Moorhead, Minnesota with his 3 three brothers. Prior to graduating High School at Moorhead High he served in the U.S. Army.

Bryan was a persistent young man. He stalked his hot wife until she submitted. Brenda, became not only his best friend but the love of his life. They were married for 35 years. They settled down for small-town life in Borup where they raised their family. Bryan's proudest accomplishments were his four children. Shawn, Cassandreay, Tristan, and the self-dubbed favorite Lee. That was until he became a Grandfather. He was an active part of their lives. He loved wrestling, swimming, dancing and making all 12 Grandchildren pull his finger.

Bryan worked hard to provide for his family. Jack of all trades master of none. Although a less than average life span, Bryan did not live an average life. He traveled the country, laughed inappropriately at every chance, learned what he wanted to learn, fought hard and loved harder. He often reminisced about good friends, good drinks, and good times.

Bryan loved people. He had the most loyal friends, who supported his crude humor and would laugh at every inappropriate joke. He never missed an opportunity to let people know he cared. He spent hours at a time sharing stories and making people laugh in the most inappropriate situations. He was known to be at talker, not holding back his opinion and a knack for telling it like it is. He had the best friends a guy could ask for. He was an avid fisherman and a tremendous hunter. He was a connoisseur of trying new food and "anything Brenda makes" and a firm believer that dinner wasn't over till dessert.

Bryan was called home on October 28, 2020. He had Brenda wrapped in his arms, and their children loving on him in his last moments.

Everyone who remembers Bryan is asked to celebrate his life in their own way; telling a 'He wasn't so bad' , 'What an ass' or 'Could you really believe' story of their choosing.

Your support at this difficult time was very much appreciated and great comfort to all of the family.
