It is with
great sadness we announce the death of Brian D. MacLeod of Antigonish,
NS. Brian passed away on December 24, 2023, in St.
Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish, at 71 years of age.
Brian was the founder and driving force behind MacLeod Group, the
premiere nursing home provider in rural Nova
Scotia.
Born in
Cleveland, Nova Scotia, he was the beloved son of William and
Katherine MacLeod. Brian developed his entrepreneurial spirit watching
his father cut pulp in the woodlots of Cape Breton. The value of a
hard day’s work and the sacrifices needed for success became
the guiding pillars of the life he built for his
family.
Brian was a
builder of families, communities, and businesses. He was a fierce
believer in the value of rural communities and spent his life building
MacLeod Group in communities across the Maritimes. His
business legacy includes MacLeod Cares, providing high-quality seniors
care in 14 communities employing over 1,000
workers.
Devoted
husband to the late Irene (MacKay) and loving father to William, Brian
Douglas (Catherine), Sheumais (Taylor), and Jermal (Myrie).
Brother of William «Bill» (Joyce) and Alexander
«Sandy» (Marilyn) MacLeod.
Brian
passionately believed that healthy places had vibrant cultures, so he
contributed much time and resources to help communities celebrate
their heritage. He supported many local causes in his home community
of Antigonish and throughout the region by serving on numerous boards
and causes including Mount Alison University, Dalhousie Medical
Research Foundation, Nova Scotia Community College, St.
Martha’s Regional Hospital, Festival Antigonish Theatre, and
Antigonish Highland Society among many others. Brian was a passionate
supporter of his Scottish heritage and his local St. James United
Church. Together, with his life partner Irene, they provided much
support to causes they loved and to families that needed discrete
support.
The MacLeod
clan motto – Hold Fast – means that in times of
trial you hold on, stoic in your pursuit, assured that time will
provide the answers that the present may lack. Brian made his family
proud. He held fast.
We ask that
you celebrate your love for Brian in your own special
way.
