Brian Wade GreyBull, "Waci Bdeza", was born on October 7, 1972 in Poplar, MT to Melvin "Shaw" GreyBull and Diane J. Longee. He passed away suddenly on June 24, 2021 at CDP hospital in Sisseton, SD. Brian attended Poplar Public School and later graduated with the class of 1991. While in high school, he participated in football and excelled in basketball, winning many awards. He also traveled to many tournaments with independent basketball teams. During the summer, he played softball. If he wasn't doing that, he traveled with his father "Shaw" to many pow-wows. Throughout his traveling he met many people and became friends with them, whether it was at a pow-wow or basketball tournament. After graduation, he attended United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, ND. Brian met the love of his life, Emma Crawford, in November of 1991 and shortly after had their first son in 1992. Later, they moved to Sisseton, SD in 1993 and decided to make that their home. On December 15, 1994 they were united in marriage and continued to have four more children. While living in Sisseton he worked in various places until he found his passion with working with the youth. He was currently employed with the Sisseton Public School and was the advisor for the Sioux Voices Club. He enjoyed teaching the youth about their culture and encouraging them to be good to themselves. He always had a listening ear for them and some looked up to him as a good mentor.

He was an avid Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Cubs fan and had many basketball teams he would follow. Brian also loved going to pow-wows with his children to watch his girls dance while his oldest son sang at the drum. He was also a sundancer. He was the first commentator to bring live play by play to all 8 schools that particpated in the DOC in Huron. He was also TZTS football coach from 2007-2009 and a para professional. This motivated him to start dancing himself. Throughout his pow-wow days he became friends with a lot of people and would go to pow-wows just to go visit and dance with them. Brian will be greatly missed by his wife, his children, grandchildren and many family members.
