It is with a great deal of sorrow
that I am writing about the death of Steve Brnardic. Steve was new to WHSS, he
just started playing with us a week ago. Previously, he played for years in
Windsor, Canada and in Fort Lauderdale. Still a young man, Steve, left us
suddenly at the age of 61. He died Tuesday, of a heart attack suffered in
Auburndale, while playing basketball. I can tell you that Steve passed away
happy; he was enjoying playing ball with friends and showed his usual enthusiasm
for playing sports, up to the moment he left us.
Steve was a member of Nick Matta’s
squad at WHSS. A great teammate, Steve played softball for years together with
Pat Drouilard and Don Ing, at Micmac Park, in Windsor. He was a fierce
competitor, a talented athlete and a good friend to those who knew him best.
Glenn Holland, Mike Wiltshire and Hector
Marinacci all knew Steve, quite well. Don Ing, Pat Drouilard and Scot Seguin
were very close with him. I am sure these guys can tell you some good softball
and hockey stories about their buddy. I only knew Steve for a short time, but he
left a great impression on me. Steve Brnardic was the type of guy I would have
liked to have known longer and become close friends with. The bible states life
is a vapor; “Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are
just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.” (James
4:14). It’s important to live life to the fullest and be ready to meet our
Creator.
Steve is survived by his wife, Jane,
and his sons, Steve Jr. and Ryan. Please keep the family in your
prayers.
