Obituary of Brian Eugene Everett

It is with saddened hearts that the family of Brian Eugene Everett announces his passing at the age of 68 years. He passed away peacefully at home on March 21, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. Brian was surrounded by loving family. Born in Annapolis Royal on February 18, 1952. Brian was the oldest son of the late Eugene and Ida Everett. He was a father, grandfather, brother, uncle, mentor and friend to all. Brian left school at a young age to begin a lifetime of hard work. A jack of all trades, he began in the fishing industry. While his children were young, Brian was an entrepreneur with his own mechanic shop at their family home in Greenland. He was a well-respected long-haul truck driver for 28 years before joining Bernard Vac in Alberta. At that time brothers Curt, Rickey, Perry, and nephews Tony, Kevin and Allyson all worked alongside Brian hoping to learn from the best. Again, respected and admired by all staff and still referred to by most as “Uncle Brian”. After returning to his home in Nova Scotia, he went on to enjoy a career with a Robbie Bent Excavating, nothing that he loved working alongside Robbie and David Bent. Brian has left behind children, David Everett, Pamela (Kenny) White and Angela (Leaman) Chute; sisters, Brenda (Brian) and Patricia (Wade); brothers, Curt (Gail), Rickey (Kim), Perry (Keri) and Eugene (Audra). There are 6 grandchildren left with beautiful memories of their Grampy: Dianna Rose, Aaron, Ashley, Tiffany, Sarah and Dustin.
