Brian Sydney Blakney
1950-2022
Brian Sydney Blakney, 72, of Scoudouc passed away
unexpectedly on June 13, 2022 at his residence.
Brian was born in Moncton on February 7th, 1950
the son of the late Sydney and J. Arlene (Steeves)
Blakney.
Brian was a very talented artist and took great pride in
his pottery. He was well known for his Lonesome Rose Pottery
Studio and became a very important part of the community in Waterside
sharing his talents and artwork with everyone who took an
interest. In later years he worked at a studio in Victoria,
BC and instructed classes, this was very rewarding and teaching his
students was one of his greatest joys and accomplishments in his
life.
He was an avid bird watcher and even hatched and raised a
gull from an egg his son brought home. He loved being in
nature and enjoying all the natural wonders of the world. He
had a passion for photography capturing all the essence of the
wildlife and the scenery he had the privilege to be surrounded
by. He also had a great sense of humour. He would
want everyone to remember all the good times
they shared and reminisce with funny stories and
not take anything for granted. ”
Life is just like potter’s clay; it gets shaped by our own
hands.”
Brian had a close connection with his son and when Mitchell
started his own family, Brian couldn’t have been happier. He
cherished the times spent with them and was thrilled to spend time
with his grandchildren. He was an
awesome grandad.
He will be deeply missed by his son, Mitchell Blakney
(Shelby); his treasured grandson, Maverik and his precious
step-granddaughters, Aleah and Alydia; sister, Rhonda Beers (Gary);
brothers, Brent Blakney and Blaine Blakney all of Moncton.
He is also survived by the mother of his son, Barbara Little of Harvey
Station and by several nieces and nephews.
There will be no funeral service at this time.
Arrangements will be announced at a later date.
For those who wish donations to the SPCA in Brian’s memory
would be greatly appreciated by the family.
Arrangements are in the care of the Albert County Funeral
Home, 4130 Route 114, Hopewell Cape, NB, E4H-3K2
