It is with great
sadness that we, the family of Brian Russel Embleton, announce his
death. Brian, aged 67 years, passed away at the Fredericton Hospice
House on December 27, 2020 after a difficult battle with
cancer.
Brian was born in
Fredericton, NB on March 1, 1953 to the late Russell Embleton and
Myrtle (Gunter) Embleton. He is survived by his long term companion
and friend, Nancy (Davidson) Green, his daughter Kari (Embleton)
Granlund from Red Deer, AB and his son Ryan Embleton from Lindsay, ON.
Brian is also survived by his sister Linda (Embleton) Carroll;
son-in-law, Brad Granlund; grandchildren Brody, Logan and Everly;
family of Nancy Green – Kristiana, Stef and special friend Dane;
Christopher, Charla, Janelle and Adian; nieces; and many close
friends. He is predeceased by his wife of almost 25 years, Nancy
(Duncan) Embleton.
Brian grew up in
Fredericton, NB and graduated from Saint Thomas University with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1975. He worked as an electrician for 4
years with his father-in-law at York Electric, eventually becoming a
licensed electrician. He then found his niche as the general manager
of the Fredericton Exhibition and Raceway where he remained for 20
years. Here, Brian further developed his fondness for harness racing
and true passion in horses. Those who knew Brian will remember him for
his kind spirit and generous heart. He had a special connection with
animals and was often referred to as “doc” due to his
knowledge of horses, by close
friends.
A Celebration of
Life is planned for a later date given the restrictions of the
COVID-19 pandemic. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the
Fredericton Hospice House, through Bishop’s Funeral
Home.
Brian and his
family wish to thank the staff at the Fredericton Hospice House for
their care and compassion during his stay. In addition, a special
thank you goes to all of his close friends who supported him, prayed
for him, and showed him love during his final
days.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Brian Russel Embleton 19532020..
