He was predeceased by his father Barry Gillies Sr. and his beloved brother Barry Gillies Jr., whom he cherished and missed deeply. Brian was born on October 16, 1964 in Winnipeg. Brian will be remembered for his generosity, caring, compassionate ways and his sense of humour with his own way with words. He was very creative and loved to build a variety of things such as Lego and toy models. He was our MacGyver . Are you going to let it beat you or are you going to beat it? Brian would say quoting his dad. He was presently employed at Great Western Containers. He was a dedicated employee and developed many friendships no matter where he worked.

Those who knew Brian will forever miss him and cherish his memory. Thank you Brian for sharing your love with us. When once you have tasted flight you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return. - Leonardo da Vinci THOMSON FUNERAL HOME 669 Broadway - 783-7211 www.thomsonfuneralchapel.com Life stories may be shared with friends and family across the globe at www.mem.com

Just heard about this last year and did not know what to say, you were all so special to me. How did this happen? So many good memories, especially at mummsy's in Oak Bank. Lots of late nights talking and listening to music. Good music. You treated me like your own Judy, and my mum always talked about that phone call you made when Bri and I broke up> She told me that you were proud of the way I was raised and was so sorry about the break-up. That meant alot to me and my mother. I will never forget how excited I was when Brian would pick me up in your car and tell me we were going to se you in Oak Bank. Even though he snuck your car!!! - Posted by: holly raines (old girlfriend) on: Jul 11, 2012

I would like to send my condolences to Brian's family for, along time ago, they were my family too. My heart has been greatly saddened to read of Brian's passing. His gentle affection and staunch loyalty to those he called friends was unmatched by any other person I've met since. I know he will be missed as he was much loved and cherished. We will see him again someday. Love to you all, Darcie Birdsell - Posted by: Darcie Birdsell (Friend) on: Mar 08, 2008
