Brian James Pearson

Brian Pearson, beloved husband of 35 years to Mrs. Brenda (nee Perry) Pearson, passed away peacefully in his home on Friday, April 11th, at the age of 84 years. Brian is fondly remembered by his children Brent (Ginny), Ward (Shannon), Darren (Carol), Grant (Donna); his stepchildren Michelle, DJ and Chris.

He was also a grandfather to Dane, Danielle, Michael, Jonathan, Steven, Thomas, Chris, Britt, Alex and Sophia; step grandchildren Ashley, Daylan, Jade, Seth, Ryan and Courtney. As well as 17 great grandchildren.

Brian was predeceased by his parents Alfred and Grace Pearson, his brothers Pat and Terry, his sister Joan and his former wife Dianne. He is survived by one sister, Marlene (Tom).

He dedicated 27 years to the propane industry, serving in a variety of roles including branch manager, customer service and sales. He later joined Sandman Hotels, where he worked as a Regional Sales Manager, BC North for 18 years before retiring in 2017.

Brian was a devoted and active member of his community. He served as a volunteer firefighter, always ready to lend a hand in times of need, and was a proud and engaged Rotarian for over 30 years, contributing his time and energy to numerous local initiatives and charitable causes. In his leisure time, Brian was a passionate musician with a talent for singing and playing a wide range of instruments, including the piano, accordion, mandolin, banjo, and guitar. He especially loved sharing music with friends and family--often filling gatherings with song and joy. Brian also had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and hands-on projects. He found peace in his garden, enjoyment in hours spent tinkering in his garage and a sense of adventure at his gold claim in Wells—a place close to his heart. His annual hunting trips were a beloved tradition, offering meaningful time in nature, quiet reflection and connection with family.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Theresa Mary Shea, Brian’s dedicated family physician, for her exceptional care and unwavering support over the years.

A Celebration of Brian’s Life will be held at the Sandman Signature hotel in Prince George on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 2:00 pm
