Frank John ""Stuart"" BROWN

With deep sadness we share the news of the sudden passing of Stuart at his home in Qualicum Beach.  Stuart was born in New Westminster to Rona and Frank Brown. The family moved to Kamloops in 1948 where Stuart had a loving relationship with his family including aunts, uncles, and cousins. His friendships with high school friends were lasting, kept up over many years. Stuart fondly remembered and looked forward to family gatherings, both those of his childhood, and of his own children and grandchildren.

Stuart engaged in a variety of challenging careers in the financial field that took him to Quesnel, Prince George, Hamilton, Winnipeg, and Victoria.  Most notably, he partnered in a very successful company engaged mostly in the oil industry in Calgary. 

Stuart retired with his life partner, Ghislaine to Qualicum Beach, where they enjoyed many happy years fishing and golfing.   Stuart was an avid reader, a very good cook, and an excellent bridge player.  He deeply appreciated the natural beauty of his native province, Kamloops and the Island especially, with so many memorable days spent on inland lakes and ocean waters.

 Stuart was predeceased by his parents and daughter, Shelley Rae Mayzes.  He is survived by his best friend and loving partner, Ghislaine; son Dean (Jackie); daughter Candiss; five grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Stuart will also be greatly missed by his sister, Frances (Ian) Maclean of Victoria, and brother, Justice Neill Brown (Joan) and their children of Abbotsford.

May Stuart find peace and everlasting joy,

in communion with those who he loved and who loved him.

The family sincerely thank the attending physicians and nurses at Nanaimo Hospital ICU for all their efforts and their exemplary care.

A Celebration of Stuart’s Life will be held in Qualicum Beach at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, please consider honouring Stuart’s memory by making a donation to the charity of your choice.
