The BC Lions Football Club is saddened to learn of the passing of Bryan Illerbrun.

Illerbrun joined the BC Lions via trade in May 1984 for defensive lineman Brent Racette and stayed with the club for the better part of three seasons. His time in BC was highlighted by starts in all 16 regular season games at right tackle during the 1985 campaign which concluded with the club's second CFL Grey Cup championship. In September 1986, he was traded to Montreal (and then on to Saskatchewan) for a draft pick and future considerations. His Lions' career encompassed 42 games plus another three in the post-season including his Grey Cup winning performance in 1985.

The BC Lions celebrate 60 Seasons of Pride in 2013. For season ticket information call 604.589.ROAR. For more information on the BC Lions Football Club visit bclions.com.
