NIKELSKI, Brian Marshall
July 19, 1992 - October 23, 2012
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Brian Marshall Nikelski. He was the beloved son of Robert and Lorna; brother of Kevin and Ellen; grandson of Maria and Robert Nikelski and Morwyn Marshall; nephew of Evamarie and Christopher Weicker, Richard Marshall, Sharon Broadley and Ann Marshall; cousin to David and Lee Marshall, Jessica Thorley and Joshua Weicker; and best friend to Clayton "Davey" Dott. Brian grew up in the town of Ladner in Delta. He graduated from Delta Secondary School in 2010 and was a student at SFU. He spent many happy hours volunteering at the DYSL Wearhouse Thrift Store. He will be remembered for his beautiful smile, whimsical sense of humour, love for his family and signature red T-shirts. A Family Memorial was held on October 30, 2012 in Victoria. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Delta Youth Support Line Society (www.dyslsociety.com/donate.php) would be appreciated.

I went to Delta Manor in the same grade as Kevin. We were friends for some time. I remember coming over to the Nikelski's house sometimes and I would see the whole family. I don't recall the exact topics that I discussed with Brian, Kevin, and Ellen, but I know I enjoyed how cerebral they were. The family was always welcoming and kind to me. Brain was very well spoken, well read , and very kind. I did not know of his passing until several years afterwards and I did not know what to say or how to articulate it all. My condolences and I must say that I am happy I got to meet Brian.

I still think about Brian everyday. Although he was quiet, he always did what was right.
Deepest condolences to his dad.
