Roger “Brian” Taillieu;
Passed away peacefully on March 20, 2025 surrounded by his family at Erie Shores Hospice. He was 70 years old. Loving father of Steven Taillieu and daughter-in-law Jessica. Dear brother of Ron (Tracey) and Rick (Florence), Jim (Tina) Klerks and Helenne (Neil) Walker. Uncle of Melissa, Ryan, Kevin, Mathew, Brad, Lindsey, Scott (Laura), Kari, Kate, and Laura; along with many great nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Roger and Jeanne Taillieu. Remembered by Elizabeth “Liz” Taillieu, his extended family, and beloved friends.
In his early years Brian was very athletic, playing baseball, volleyball, basketball, and running cross-country. He excelled in high school sports winning many championships. Later in life, Brian pursued many passions outside his professional career; his true passion was for food and cooking. He loved tweaking new recipes to get the results he wanted and had collected over 200 cookbooks to inspire himself. Photography, astronomy, R/C aviation, and sailing with his family also drew attention over the course of his life. His most proud achievements came in Lawn Bowling, which he picked up before retiring. He won his club singles tournament in 2014 and represented Canada at the World Short Mat Championships in Manchester England in 2016. Brian’s ability to find joy in both the intricate details of his hobbies and the vastness of the universe serves as a reminder of the importance of pursuing one’s passions, no matter the stage of life.
