In Loving Memory of Brian Dorie

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Brian Dorie, who left us far too soon.

Brian is survived by his loving wife of 26 years, Julie, his cherished son, Matthew, and his beloved daughter, Ava. Brian is also survived by Jessica, Brenda, Mary and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A devoted husband, father, nephew and loyal friend, Brian lived life to its fullest and left an indelible mark on everyone he met.

Known for his larger-than-life presence, Brian was always the biggest guy in the room, not only in stature but in heart and spirit. His contagious laughter and warm smile had the power to light up any space, and his unwavering love for his family was at the core of who he was. A true protector of those he adored, Brian’s heart of gold touched the lives of so many.

Brian’s passions were as big as his personality. He had a deep love for motorcycles and cherished the freedom of cruising on the open road. Whether it was his famous fireworks displays, mouthwatering ribs at summer barbecues, or his hilarious Donald Duck impressions, Brian had a unique way of bringing joy to those around him.

He was the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to a stranger, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His generosity and kindness will be fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Brian’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and a life well-lived. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.

A celebration of Brian’s life will be held on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 1 pm, at Meadowvale Funeral Centre with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made online to Make-A-Wish Canada in Brian’s memory.

Ride free, Brian, on that eternal open road. You will always be in our hearts.
