Brian A. MacNeill
1945-2020
It is with great sadness that we announced the
passing of Brian A. MacNeill, age 75, of Dieppe, NB; A
loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He passed
away at The Moncton Hospital, on Monday, May 04, 2020. He was
born in Moncton, and was the son of the late Al and Rita
MacNeill.
An avid outdoorsman all his life, he was more at home out in
the wilderness than in the middle of city life, and he spent many
years as a professional hunting guide, known to his hunting and
muzzle-loading friends as “Bear Claw” – a name he wore with
pride. He was a proud member of the Buckskinners
Muzzleloading Association Ltd.
He was an active huntsman’s, fisherman, tradesman’s in
leatherwork and loved to paint. Most of his numerous
paintings were painted from memory – a lot of them being scenes
depicting the woodland areas he had seen and
loved.
He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years,
Catherine MacNeill; three sons, Jason (Carole) of Georgetown, ON;
David (Tammy) of Dieppe and Troy (Sarah) of Riverview; grandchildren
Ashley, Tanisha, Courtney, Alexander, Jayden and Claire; great
grandson, Marshall; three sisters, Sandy LeBlanc (Eric), Sheila
MacNeill and Theresa MacNeill; one brother Omer MacNeill as well as
several nieces, nephews and cousins.

3, 2020 at 1 pm. It will be held at the Buckskinners
