Obituary of Brian Beckett

It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Brian on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 at the age of 66. Beloved brother to Anne Irvin (Michael), Beverly Beckett, David Beckett (Chia Fang), Peter Beckett (Carrie), Paul Beckett (Heather), and Stephen Beckett (Kandra). Predeceased by his parents Gordon and Catherine, stepmother Audrey, and brother Mark Beckett. Cherished uncle and dearest friend to Peggy Olivier (Matthew) and Mark Irvin (Jacinthe) and to Angela, Jayla (Ken), Tyler, Erin (Chris), Madeleine, Emily, Brynn, and Logan. Brian was loved wholeheartedly and will be greatly missed by his great-nieces and nephews Gavin, Alexandra, Spencer, Tyanna, Kamille, and Brayden. He cared for them deeply and taught them to love nature as he did and to appreciate the beauty of literature and the magic of story. Brian was an able and gifted craftsman who found great joy in building and creating for his family and for himself. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects on Thursday, August 1, 2019 at the Heritage Funeral Complex in Orléans from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Brian loved his garden and would want you to plant some of your favourite flowers instead of sending flowers. Donations can also be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences may be offered online at www.heritagefh.ca.
