Hey everyone.
The Thunder Bay Touch Football League lost one of its brothers yesterday.
Brian Dzijak meant more to this league/community of people than people can imagine. I was lucky enough to compete against him and sometimes even with him for about 10 years but his playing days go much longer than that.
The ultimate competitor. Anyone who knew Brian, knew he hated to lose more than he loved to win. That’s what made him so great. He pushed everyone he played with to be better and he pushed every team he played against to be better. Brian was always regarded as one of the best players (most importantly, quarterbacks) in the league for the last 20 years. Brian won many, many championships in this leagues history. He also would be a crucial piece in winning some championships with Thunder Bay travelling teams for out of town touch tournaments. He was that good.
During the early summer of this year, Brian tore his achilles while playing a touch football scrimmage. But that didn’t stop Brian from being at the field. As of this Friday, Brian was at the field supporting his team play even though he was injured. That’s the type of person/teammate Brian was. And that’s how much Brian loved touch football.
But most importantly, Brian was an amazing person off the field too. A gentle soul and a complete beauty who was a family man first.
The Touch Football League will be making a financial donation to Brian’s family that he leaves behind to show them support through these tough times and to let them know that Brian meant a lot to our touch football family/community.
If you’re able and willing to donate, please send money to [email protected] All the money sent will go directly to the family.
We also plan on making some sort of touch football honorarium in his name in the near future. If you have ideas, please pass them our way.
RIP Brian (Beaver)
