Unexpectedly, with great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Bryan George Beger, beloved brother, uncle and friend, on Sunday, January 30, 2022 at the Beausejour Hospital, at the age of 64.
Bryan is survived and sadly mourned by his best friend Ryan Sinclair; brother Glen (Debbie), their children Melissa, Darryl (Micheline) and their daughter Brielle, Kurtis (Amy), and Emily (Tanner); sister Cheryl Riopka and her son Josh; and sister Lori Stelmaschuk; as well as special friends Andy and Jan and Ron and Maria, along with many others who know who they are.
Bryan was pre-deceased by his beloved wife Maureen (nee Anderson), his parents Herb and Elsie Beger, and his brother-in-law Mike Stelmaschuk.
Bryan was born on April 28, 1957 in Beausejour, Manitoba. He became a journeyman electrician and started Northeastern Electric at the young age of 21, which he ran successfully until he joined the Office of the Fire Commissioner in 2007. In November of 2015, Bryan joined Manitoba Hydro as an electrical inspector for the eastern region, and was a highly-regarded co-worker with a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
Bryan was a very community-minded individual and was active and served on the boards of the Brokenhead River Recreational Complex and the Canadian Power Toboggan Championships, to name a few, where he devoted countless hours of volunteer work over the years.
One of Bryan’s true joys in life was travelling the world. He loved and travelled to many warm southern destinations. His curious mind also took him to places such as China, Egypt, Dubai, and numerous trips all over Europe. He was especially looking forward to an upcoming Mediterranean adventure to celebrate his retirement, which he unfortunately never got to do.
We will miss you dearly, Bryan. Rest in peace with Maureen by your side. It’s not “Goodbye,” it’s “See you later, till we meet again.”
Due to Covid restrictions, a celebration of Bryan’s life will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Brokenhead River Community Foundation – CPTC Fund, Box 2225, Beausejour, MB. R0E 0C0, or to the Beausejour Hospital TV Fund, Box 1614, Beausejour, MB. R0E 0C0.

Dean Fenwick
My sincere condolences to Bryans family and close friends.
This news was a complete shock to me as I have known Bryan for many years as being a co-worker with the Inspections Department. Bryan was a wealth of information and a friend you could count on for advice with most any electrical scenario you could come up with. Us inspectors shared many stories and laughs over “sodas” while at yearly meetings.
I’m sad that he couldn’t make his next planned trip overseas and that he didn’t make it to enjoy retirement.
Rest in peace my friend!

Rick Stefansson
What can you say when you lose one of the good one’s. My condolences to Ryan and the family and his many close friends. A loss like this is always painful, but for it to happen so suddenly when we all knew how much he was looking forward to travelling in retirement, it just doesn’t seem fair. He was always willing to help with any electrical issue you had, and there was only one way to do it if Brian was in charge, meticulously by the book. Open any electrical panel around Beausejour, and if it looks like a picture in a manual, Brian probably did it. Our community surely is not a better place with his passing, but I think he would say something like…suck it up buttercup. Just remember the good times we shared, raise a glass and mention my name each time you have a drink and I will see you later. I know you will be talking about me lots, and then he would flash that sheepish grin. Brian, you will live forever in our hearts, the only thing that makes any sense is there must have been a heck of an electrical problem in heaven that needed your attention pronto. And a call went out for one of the best! Cheers my friend.
Mel & Grace Darroch
