Memorial for fall victim

A memorial for a man who died in Kelowna after falling off a balcony on St. Patrick’s Day will take place this weekend in Salmon Arm.

“Brendan Anthony Burge was taken from us far too soon,” reads the announcement. “Brendan was born in Regina, Sask., and passed suddenly at the age of 24 in the city of Kelowna.”

Burge is being remembered as a loving, devoted father. He leaves behind numerous loved ones, including his parents, a brother and sister, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

A trust fund has been arranged for his daughter in “hopes she can pursue everything she’s ever dreamed of and more.”

According to the post, Burge was a small business owner in Kelowna.

“Brendan also known as 'Burgey' accomplished many things in life. Brendan travelled across Canada pursuing his passion of playing hockey. He continued that passion overseas to play in Germany.”

The celebration will take place at Intermissions Restaurant and Lounge at the Shaw Centre on Saturday at 1 p.m.
