Passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on February 6, 2018. Brian was a joy to be around which was exemplified by his infectious laugh, quick repartee and his ability to interrupt constantly (Bradley). He was incredibly kind and compassionate and adored Owen and Quinn (his nephew and niece) and his beloved chocolate lab, Nala and her younger “sister”, Joey.
He is so missed by his grandfather, Rocco, parents Donna and Andy, his brother Todd (Christa) and their children, Owen and Quinn. Uncle Stinky Pickles (the Great) will also be missed by many aunts and uncles: Sharon (Norm), Dwayne (Eve), Pat (Erling), Duncan (Maryse) and Kerry (Dennis) as well as cousins Gary, Liza, Kelly, Karla, Ceilidh and Mhairi.
Thank you to so many supportive family members and friends who have made the start of this journey easier to bear. A special thank you to his many friends who have also helped immensely: Anne-Marie, Steve, Forest, Wes, Jesse, Sunny, Kate, Bradley, Bruce, Chris, Rob, Sean, Kristine, Aaron, Erica, Jeremy and Lynn. Apologies to those whom we have missed; Brian knows who you are.
A celebration to honour Brian will be held this spring.

Andy,
I was saddened to read of Brian’s passing. He was a pleasure to work with during our baseball days at Layritz. I know how very hard it is to lose a loved one. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
