of Barrie, ON, (former owner of Byron-Graham Motors in Barrie for over 50 years), passed away suddenly at his home on Saturday, October 26th 2024 in his 88th year.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brian, whose adventurous spirit touched the lives of many. From snowmobiling and snow plowing to boating and motorcycling, Brian embraced every opportunity for adventure. He had a special fondness for the car business, sharing stories from his years of driving buses and transport trucks. For over 50 years, he could be found daily at the car dealership, a testament to his dedication. Brian found joy in the simple pleasures of life, from obsessively washing cars and his boat to playing checkers and challenging friends and family to games of cribbage. His generosity shone through in his charitable endeavors, including organizing bus trips to the CNE, and participating in mission trips to Mexico.
His legacy will forever be etched in our hearts as we cherish
the countless memories he created along the way.
Beloved husband (of 59 years) of Donna.
