Brian Smiley Death, Winnipeg, Manitoba SPN Umpire died after a brave fight with colon cancer: The valiant fight that Brian Smiley waged against colon cancer over the course of his life has finally come to a conclusion. He was an exquisite gem of a human being during his entire life and was considered to be one of the top umpires in the SPN.
One of the deputy umpires in chiefs that Brian served as during his time at SPN Manitoba was a member of our team. The Little Mountain Sportsplex will be the location of a moment of silence that will take place at ten forty-five minutes past the hour on Sunday morning.
In our capacity as members of the SPN Manitoba family, we would like to offer our most sincere sympathies to Brian’s family and friends.
