Brian’s many interests included sports, music and wildlife shows. He was also a fan of the Montreal Canadians,the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Giants. Brian started working in his teens at the Spryfield Rink and worked many other jobs over the years. Brian had a heart of gold and was always helping everyone out. Would give you the shirt off his back, literally. Brian is survived by his only child, Tara Ann (Shannon), Spryfield; siblings Denise (Nelson), L’Ardoise; Jimmy, Rockdale; and Joey (Tetra), Yellowknife. Also by nieces and nephews Travis (Samantha), Kaily, Tanner, Darius, Avionna and Melody. Pre deceased by his parents and brother Rick (Audrey), Halifax.
