He loved the outdoors and always had a smile and laugh that was contagious to all who knew him. Brian enjoyed playing his guitar and singing with his family, having a beverage, fishing, hunting, and sitting around the fire. He was always on the highway going to town, where he enjoyed a Tim Horton’s coffee and two plates of Fatboy’s poutine, talking to every person who walked by.

Honorary pallbearers are all that knew him and respected him.

Psalm:23

The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not want

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the still waters;

He restores my soul;

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil;

For you are with me;

Your rod and Your staff;

They comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
