Brian Herbert Cleland Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

It is with terrible sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father (“Dad”), husband, brother, grandpa, uncle and friend to so many. Brian was born in Hamilton to William and Sarah, who passed tragically when he was just a child. He was raised by his aunt (“Auntie”) along with his sister, Verna, and brothers, Bud, Ken and Don. He was a family man and a person of faith. He loved to make people smile and always had a great story or joke to tell. Cancer took him from us at the age of eighty years old. He never complained. He remained the kind, gentle soul he always was, right until his last breath. He is with his mom and dad, Auntie, Verna and Bud and all others who have passed who loved him. He is survived by his wife, Marianne, his kids, Cheryl (Paul), Doug (Susan) & Sarah (Brad), his brothers Ken (Irene) and Don (Dorothy), his grandchildren, Josh, Shaylyn, Skylar & Sonni as well as countless others who have been touched by him and will continue to hold the love for him in their hearts until we all see him again. The family will be holding a memorial service on Saturday, September 5, 2020 at 10:45 a.m. that will be limited to only immediate family members (in person), due to the pandemic. It will however be able to be viewed remotely via Zoom using the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81234169018?pwd=dlRDd2hrT09pd0t6ZGFHTkdhbklodz09 Following the service, at 1:00 p.m., there will be an interment at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, 700 Chapel Hill Road, Stoney Creek. While this is open to everyone, social distancing will need to be practiced and a maximum number of 100 people will be permitted, in accordance with Provincial policies. https://www.arbormemorial.ca/en/chapelhill In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to Brian’s church, Grace Lutheran where he was a member.
