Bryan was born on June 1, 1957, to Ervin and Dolores Boerschel. He grew up in Charles City, Iowa, and graduated from Charles City High School in 1975. He was affectionately known to his high school classmates as “Bubba.” Bryan carried the friendships and memories from those early years with him throughout his life.

After high school, Bryan went to Iowa State University and was a proud member of Theta Chi. He graduated with a degree in Construction Engineering and dedicated his entire professional career to Kiewit Corporation. His work took him throughout the United States and Canada, including California, Alaska, Hawaii (where he went through the Kauai hurricane), Texas, Georgia, Louisiana and Nova Scotia. At Kiewit, he built not only large projects, but lasting relationships and countless stories along the way.

He routinely vacationed with family and friends. After retirement, Bryan settled in Alexandria, Minnesota, where he created a welcoming lake home that became a gathering place for family and friends. Many cherished days were spent fishing, boating, swimming, and tubing on the lake, playing cards, and shooting off fireworks, creating memories that will last for generations.

Bryan will be remembered for his generous spirit, sense of humor, and the deep care he showed to those around him. To many, he was simply and lovingly known as “Uncle Bryan.”

He is survived by his brother, Bruce (Viva) Boerschel; his nephew, Bob (Erin) Boerschel; his niece, Becky Boerschel; and his grand nieces and nephews, Kinleigh, Kielyn, Caleb, and Derek.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ervin Boerschel and Dolores Markle.
