Born in Bridgewater, Brian Brian’s career began at National Sea in Lunenburg, followed by several years at Michelin in Bridgewater and eventually he came to work with the Town of Lunenburg, a position that kept him close to home.

He was an active member of his community, serving in the St. John’s Anglican Church Men’s Club and the Lunenburg Jaycees, and was a past member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #23, Lunenburg.

He leaves behind his loving wife, of 57 years, Karen; his devoted children, Stephen Demone of Lunenburg and Stacey (Keith) Rumsby of Victoria, BC; and his adored grandchildren, J’Naya and Tobias; a sister, Gretchen and brother, Robert; as well as many other extended family members. Brian was predeceased by his parents and his sister, Annette.

The family welcomes donations to the Lunenburg Fire Department or a charity of your choice, in Brian’s memory.
