Brian Carson
1956-2023
It is with sadness the family announces the passing of Brian Carson, 66, of Havelock on July 28th, 2023 at his home. Born in Sussex, he was a son to the late Russell & Barbara (Huckstepp) Carson.
Survived and sadly missed by his loving wife of 45 years Ruth (Plume); his three daughters: Veronica Carson (Kerry), Dallas Carson, Megan Carson-Menzie (Lucas).; his 5 grandchildren: Torah, Trace, Kannon, Lincoln and Drewyn; his three brothers: Danny (Deb), Gary (Lynette) and Jim (Sue) as well as many nieces and nephews.
Brian graduated from PRHS in 1974 where he met and married his high school sweetheart, Ruth, in 1978. He raised his three daughters and many foster children over the last 30 years and retired from Graymont in Havelock in 2019.
Brian was extremely hardworking and a Jack of all trades. He was selfless and always willing to lend a hand without hesitation. He spent countless hours working on his property, mowing, gardening and being in the woods. Brian always kept up with current events, politics and he’d never miss an episode of Live at 5. Brian spent decades as a member Of the Havelock Lions club. He really enjoyed playing Santa Claus every year and bringing joy to many children’s faces.
Brian loved watching sports - especially watching his daughters and more recently his grand kids. He was extremely proud and spent many early mornings at the rink. Brian may have been a homebody but he always enjoyed his monthly poker nights with the boys. He was no stranger to a dance floor as he loved music. His quick wit, sarcasm and contagious giggle will be missed. Brian’s happiest moments were spent surrounded by his family, watching Coronation Street and being a G’pa.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Salisbury Funeral Home, 506-372-4800. A time of gathering and sharing of memories will be held on Thursday, August 3rd from 6:00pm – 8:00pm at the Salisbury Funeral Home. All are welcome.
