Bryant Sole

December 25, 1935 — November 1, 2020

With great sadness, we announce the passing of Bryant Edward Sole on November 1st, 2020 in Victoria, BC.

Bryant passed in Victoria General Hospital after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He was born on Christmas Day 1935 and died on All Saints Day 2020, almost making his 85th birthday. He sure knew how to pick beautiful dates!

Predeceased by his parents, James, Gertrude and Florrie Sole, sister Gwen, brothers Jim and Terry, and his infant son Steven.
Bryant leaves to mourn his loss, his wife of 59 years Rose-Anne, sons Michael (Brenda) and David, grandchildren Jacob, Bethany and Cameron, his sister Valerie and many nieces and nephews.

Born in Hull, England, he served in the RAF after high school. He was hired in the UK by CIBC and emigrated to Canada in 1957. After a trans-Atlantic voyage and a trans-Canadian train journey, he ended up in BC where he lived his days. His long career with CIBC started in Creston, then Powell River. It was there he met Rose-Anne and her family, and they were married in 1961. They then lived in Penticton, Victoria, Ucluelet, Duncan, Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey. On retirement, he and Rose-Anne moved to Osoyoos where they lived for 27 years before moving to Victoria in 2018. Many friends were gathered along the way in all those places.

Everywhere they lived, he was active in the Catholic Church, mainly working with the parish priest regarding finances.

A memorial mass will be held at Our Lady of the Rosary parish in Langford, BC on November 14th, unfortunately with limited attendance. Interment will be a later date in Powell River, BC.

Many thanks to family doctor Michael Ward, and all the amazing nurses, doctors and staff on 6D at Victoria General Hospital for their compassionate care. Also thanks to Fr. Sean Flynn and Fr. Dean Henderson.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to a charity of your choice.
