May 28th, 1966 – April 24th, 2020
Brian was born on May 28th, 1966 to Maxwell and Gladys Coles of Savage Cove. Brian was a little brother to Kevin, Marilyn, Dean and Hen, and a special grandson to ‘Grammy’ who lived with them. Brian grew up amongst his many cousins and friends. He was always a kind-hearted man who enjoyed a laugh, had time to talk with everyone, and could certainly be a ‘hard-ticket’, although his mom would never say so. Brian left school and joined his father and brothers on their dragger. Out in boat and at home, Brian was an excellent cook. Whether Brian was coming from the dragger or from jigging in the small boat, when he landed at the wharf he always made sure to share a meal with those who looked forward to a feed of fish, especially his parents and his in-laws. On October 3rd, 1998, Brian married Heather, and they were blessed with two beautiful daughters, Allie and Hilary. Brian was so proud of his girls; he wanted them to do well and he loved them unconditionally. Brian also loved their dog Zoey. Brian always enjoyed a chat, a trip in the woods, driving around, and knowing about his extended family. Brian passed away at the young age of 53 years, at Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony with his wife, two daughters and brother at his side. He will always be remembered for the wonderful person he was and the memories he shared with those he loved will be forever cherished. God bless Brian.
