On August 1, 2015 Brian passed away at age 73 from Leukemia, he leaves to mourn his wife Carey Hackman her children Colleen (Jim), Gary (Judy) Charlene (Robb) grandchildren Jessica, Kimberly, Breanne, Michael, Ian and Kruz, sister Marilyn Taillefer and many dear friends.

Brian was born in Montreal, Quebec to Winnifred & Norman Taillefer and lived in many places throughout Canada as his father was a member of the RCMP. Brian moved to Kamloops in 1964 and was the produce manager at Woodwards until 1967 when he became a member of Kamloops Fire & Rescue where he dedicated 32 years of service. Brian took great pride in his duties, was a great mentor too many and made friendships and memories that lasted his lifetime. Since his retirement in 2001, Brian and Carey travelled often, whether to major sporting events, cruising or exploring North America they loved retirement and each other. Brian enjoyed watching all sports and played baseball but was passionate about hockey, he played and watched hockey up until the 2015 Season. He was a loyal Montreal Canadians fan and a Kamloops Blazer season ticket holder for many years.

Brian was a great husband and friend, he was thoughtful, generous and would do anything for a friend. He will be missed by many.

Special and sincere thank you to Dr. Brenda Laupland, Les & Cindy McKinnon and Gerry & Elly Gorman for all their care and concern.
