Carl George Bryanton

December 23, 1920 - October 10, 2019
On October 10th, Carl Bryanton passed at the age of 98 years. Carl lived his life relishing every day with an optimistic eye on the future, and yet embraced the moment.
Carl was born December 23, 1920 in Bowden, Alberta as a twin. He grew up in Rimbey, Alberta on a farm with a large family of 10 brothers and sisters. He met the love of his life, Esther, and they shared 67 wonderful years. Carl pursued his love of farming while working in the Oil and Gas Industry in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
Carl connected deeply with many people throughout his life. Family was the root of his happiness, along with reciting poetry, playing a good game of cards and helping his neighbours.
Carl's & Esther's retirement years were active, filled with world travel, sports, senior drop-in centres, and visiting many friends and family. After Rocky, they lived in Calgary, Rimbey and Vernon, BC.
