Brian Owen Harris

The passing of Brian Owen Harris occurred at the Grand Manan Hospital, Grand Manan NB on April 23, 2023. Born on Grand Manan NB on July 31, 1954, he was a son of the late John and Hazel (Munroe) Harris. A loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother, Brian is survived by his children: Melissa Robinson (Karl) and Gordon Harris (Lindsay Brown) both of Grand Manan NB; his grandchildren: Lauren, Angela, Daimon Leonard, Weston, Rena, Drew, Colton, Ocean and Allegra; great-grandchildren: King, Danny and Ryan; siblings: Linda Palk (Cecil) of Beaver Harbour NB, Steven Harris of Grand Manan NB and Douglas Harris of Tower Hill NB; and by several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to his parents, Brian was predeceased by one son, Henry; and siblings: George and Raymond.

Prior to his retirement, Brian worked hard as a fisherman and spent his whole career around the water. He was a quiet man who enjoyed keeping to himself but was always willing to help those in need. Brian will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor and many of us have been on the receiving end of his pranks. His humor and devotion to his family will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Resting at the Community Life Church, Grand Harbour NB with visiting on Thursday from 6-8 pm. The service will be held from the church on Friday at 1:00 pm with Rev. Karl Ingersoll officiating followed by the interment in Maple Grove Cemetery. In Brian’s memory, donations to Charlotte County Cancer or to the ALS Society would be appreciated by the family.
