With his family by his side and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Brian at the age
of 73 after his courageous battle with cancer.
He was a very loved dad, grandfather & brother.

Brian retired from Highland Valley Copper in 2013 where he enjoyed being a millwright. He was a kind man, well known for his sense of humour, who enjoyed golfing, darts and spending time with his family and friends. He will be extremely missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Brian’s, passing I knew the family when they lived in Sunningdale, we also went to Kimberly to visit them ,so many great memories. My heart goes out to all of the family .Prayers going out to all of you at this time .
Rest in eternal peace, Brian. You’re no longer in pain. The only pain that remains is the pain in the heart’s of all who knew you.
Our hearts hurt for you all.
I have a heavy heart saying good bye to my friend and work mate Brian (or Rock as we new him back in Selkirk College).
I first met Brian and his family in Nelson BC while attending the Millwright Apprenticeship course in 1975. We hit off right from the start and became life long friends.
We were both hired by Gibraltar Mine in Mcleese Lake after graduation and we started our Millwright Apprenticeship journey together.
After a couple years living in Williams Lake I eventually moved in with Brian, Brenda Tammy and newborn Tracy and they were family.
What a beautiful time in my life this was, living with the Ericksons. Our card games were legendary, 500, 9-5-2, Crib, Rummy, Hearts and more… so many laughs, always.
I visited Brian a couple of months ago in Sparwood and it was like old times, even though it had been a few years since we last seen each other in Logan Lake. True friendship endures distance, I was so glad I got to see my good buddy once again.
Even though Brian was having health issues the last while he had a still upper lip and positive outlook and told me life was still “gooder”!
I miss you my friend, till we meet again over a Kokanne.
RIP
