Peacefully passed away on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at Greater Niagara General Hospital, at the age of 79 years. Beloved husband of the late Aniela (2020). Loving father of Paul (Suzanne), Craig (Leslie), and the late Scott (2006). Cherished grandfather of Taylor, Ryan, Isla, and Reid, and devoted companion to his four-legged friend, Daisy.
Brian retired as a Millwright from Oxy Vinyls. During his retirement, he enjoyed travelling, spending time at the dog park with his dogs, watching Blue Jays baseball or a good soccer match, and meeting up with friends at the local Drummond Inn for a pint or two.
