Brian Lupton Obituary
Brian will be deeply missed by his fiancée Susan Tolley, his daughters Keeva (Cameron) and Nareela, his sister Marjorie Glavin (Ronnie), friend and mother of their children Bonnie, and extended family and lifelong friends.
Brian was born in Northern Ireland and immigrated to Canada in the 1980's.
He dedicated his life to his work as a Neonatologist at BC Children's Hospital in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. Along with his passion for work, he was an avid runner, lover of music and books and lifelong traveler. Above all, he was an incredible father and friend.
A funeral is scheduled for 10am on Wednesday December 30, 2015 at the Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Rd, North Vancouver. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Brian's life.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations are sent to the BC Children's & Women's Newborn ICU through the BC Women's Foundation website.

I was in shock when i came across this obituary page. Dr Lupton was one of the many Dr's that helped bring Tatiana and Krista Hogan (Canada conjoined twins) safely into this world. I will never forget his awesome smile and kindness to us every time he saw us in the hospital he had to come see the girls. He will be missed. Our heart felt sympathys go out to his family.

We are so sorry to hear about Brian's passing.He was a kind soul who will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him... his twinkly eyes, his wit, his kindness, his books and music. We had some wonderful times together... always a hug for his friends,a memorable New Years at his favorite waterfront bistro, a fun family cruise down Mexico way. Roy and I extend our sincere condolences to my dearest friends Bonnie, Ralph, Keeva, Cam, Nareela, and Brayden

I worked with Brian for over 25 years. We would often chat about Ireland as my grandparents came from there. He had a great sense of humour. Such a great loss to the NICU

Brian was such an incredible dedicated physician. We are so blessed to have worked with such a conceptual mind and out of the box thinker as he challenged the status quo to improve the quality and safety of care for patients, families, and staff in the NICU. He was such a delight to work with and so incredibly proud of his daughters who he gently spoke often of. His memory will be cherished. Sincerely, Marg Seppelt (a colleague at BC Women's NICU)

I am so sad to hear of Dr Luptons passing. He was an amazing man and I feel honoured to have been able to know him. He treated me and my son wonderfully while we were in NICU.
My heartfelt condolences to all that were touched by this incredible man.
