Brian Robin Acland

BRIAN ACLAND

December 26, 1939 – December 8, 2022

Our family sadly announces the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Brian Acland. He was predeceased by his parents Iris and Noel and his brother David. Brian is survived by Kerry, his loving wife of over 60 years and teenage sweetheart; his children Andrew (Terry), and Susan (Vern); his grandchildren David and Ryan; his brother Paul and sister-in-law Carol; nephews Brian (Cas), Jeff (Karla); and nieces Kelly (Lee) and Erin. Brian was the eldest of 3 boys and loved his brothers dearly. Family meant the world to him, and he loved his many pets, especially his dog Willow.

Brian had a successful career with the TD Bank as Branch Manager in Saskatoon and Winnipeg. He was also a Manager for Ames Diagnostics, Western Canada.

Brian and Kerry were fortunate to have travelled to many parts of the world: England, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Thailand, Hawaii and Mexico. They also enjoyed several Caribbean cruises. Brian’s favourite times were summers at the family cottage at Victoria Beach surrounded by family and close friends.

Brian was remarkable to have lived with Type 1 diabetes for more than 57 years. Diabetes did not control him; he controlled it.

Thank you for setting an example of hard work, honesty, courage and high ideals. You will always be remembered and missed.

A private burial will be held in the summer at Victoria Beach.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Diabetes Canada or The Humane Society.
