Brian Gregory Nelligan passed away, suddenly but peacefully, on August 10, 2022, from heart failure, at the age of 57. He was predeceased by his parents, B. Edmund and Bernardine (Bunny) Nelligan. He is survived by his daughters, Sarah Witcher and Abbey Wood and four grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by his siblings, Celia (Mike McLeod), Bernardine (Dennis Swanek), Margaret (David Quail), Eileen (Bart Calderone), John (Mary Anne Covelli), Edmund, Mark (Maureen) and Kathleen (Bob Gunther), and many nieces and nephews. Our family is very appreciative of the friendship and support shown over the last several years by Brian's good friend, Lorne. Brian grew up in Don Mills and attended Senator O'Connor College School, where he made many lasting friendships. As a youth, Brian had a joie de vivre that was as likely to make him new and lifelong friends as it was to get him into trouble. He greatly enjoyed spending time at the family cottage on Mississagua Lake, where he is remembered as an avid waterskier and frequent prankster, with a big smile and hearty laugh. He was gregarious, with a keen wit, a love for people, and an open heart. Visitation will be held Friday, August 19, 2022, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at Paul O'Connor Funeral Home, 1939 Lawrence Ave. E., Scarborough, ON M1R 2Y8, followed by a memorial service from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to view the memorial service please click the following link
