Surrounded by his loving family, Pawel passed away peacefully in his home the morning of February 12, 2020. Devoted and loving husband to Katherine (van Nes). Loving father to his children Krysia, Jozef, Emma and his special niece Alexis. Dear brother to Marek, Piotr (Halina), Stan (Sue) and brother-in-law to Terry Ann (Rich), Mary-Lynn (Tom), Tina (John), Bill J. (Cindy), Bob (Andrea). He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his cherished parents Krystyna (Jozwiak) and Edward Brudnicki of Goderich, his parents-in-law Margaret (Terpstra) and Bill van Nes of Ethel and his brother-in-law Nick van Nes.

In Pawel’s humble words, he was a “Jack of all trades, master of none.” His talents and skills knew no bounds, and he cherished nothing more than his family, wearing not only his heart, but his selflessness on his sleeve. He personified kindness and while he often talked about how lucky he was, those who knew him were truly the lucky ones.
