Edwards, Brian
June 27th, 2021
It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Brian Edwards, at Victoria Hospital on Sunday, June 27, 2021. Brian will be deeply missed by his partner and best friend, Kim Waugh; his daughter, Ashley (Neil); his son, Eric; and stepdaughter, Kiersten (James) and granddaughter, Emily. He leaves behind his loving mother, Sandra Bevacqua (late Ken Edwards and late Dominic Bevacqua). He was the dear brother of the recently deceased, Kim Colenutt (late Noel Berthelot), and Shelley Gould – who both passed away in January of this year. Brian will also be remembered and missed by his younger brother, Jeff (Mary-Anne); his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Keith and Sonya Grigg, as well as his sister and brothers-in-law, Laurie (Peter) and Jeff (Michelle). He will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews.
Brian was a soft spoken, gentle, kind soul, with a grateful heart and a strong loving spirit, adored by anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. Brian had many passions, but most treasured for him were: dancing with Kim and making her laugh; his three children, Ashley, Eric, and Kiersten; his mom and his siblings; and boating, fishing, and the commitment to lifelong friendships. Brian represented the essence of goodness and loyalty, always willing to do for others and be there when anyone needed him. He loved nothing more than fishing on Lake Erie with Kim and his friends from Erieau Marina or his hometown buddies from Wheatley. Once on the lake, it was nearly impossible to get him to come back in again! He would often say: “Let’s stay for just one more hour.” He had a number of great memories of his many boating trips across the lake on the ‘Unnecessary Purchase’ with the gang from the marina. Being on the lake was where Brian loved to be the most.
They say when you lose someone great, the heart holds a special space for that person that no one else could ever fill in the same way again; and for all who knew and loved him, that space is reserved for Brian Edwards.
Brian’s family is truly grateful for the care that was provided by Dr. Mary Jenkins and nurse, Sara Masse. Their commitment to Brian‘s well-being was deeply appreciated by Kim and Brian during his illness.
A private family service will be held at Fairview Cemetery in Wheatley. A Celebration of Life will take place once the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have been lifted. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Brian are asked to consider the Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario or the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.
