“The Renaissance Man”
1945 – 2022

Sadly, Cornwall lost one of its outstanding, beloved, and respected citizens. Brian passed away peacefully on Friday, September 16. He is survived by his wife, Lucie McCartney, and is predeceased by his father, Robert, Henry, Victor McCartney and his mother Louise, Elsie McCartney (Messecar). Born in Milles Roches, Brian’s parents later moved to Cornwall during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Over the course of his declining health, Brain was deeply moved by the numerous heartfelt messages and tributes sent to him. His ability to motivate and inspire others is legend. Many of his accomplishments brought recognition and honour not only to the city of Cornwall, but to Ontario and Canada. He will be greatly missed. May you Rest in Peace Brian. Your memory will be forever etched in our hearts and minds.
A celebration of Brian’s life will be shared once details are complete.
