Brian counted himself fortunate to have found two sweethearts, Edith for 33 years, then Lorrie for 35. He is survived by six children and their families: Stuart and Kathy Jackson, Michaela and Gord Springall, Paul and Kathy Jackson, Lori Stemmler, Gen and Jess Moore, Gabrielle and Richard Moore;

13 Grandchildren: Trish and Jeff, Tim and Julie, Chris, Mark and Katherine, Jon and Keighley, Bradley and Susie, Trevor, Becca, Keturah and Michael, Olivya, Camille, Evan, and Atalia;

6 Great Grandchildren: Brayden, Riley, Carter, Richard, Brian and Violet;

and the whole McNair clan.

He was predeceased by his first wife, Edith, two infant children, Margaret and Leslie, and daughter-in-law Sandy.

Brian looked for ways to be helpful to others. Those of us who knew him are better people because he lived.

Lorrie and the family sincerely thank Dr. Chan, Dr. Ansdell, Eloise, IHA and IHCS employees for their skill and compassion throughout this journey. We will never forget your kindness.

A private service will be held later. Those wishing to remember Brian in a tangible way are invited to donate to one of his favourite charities: The Canadian Foodgrains Bank, Vernon Hospice House, or The NONA Child Development Centre. No flowers, please.
