Brian Douglas Carriere, a resident of Dawson Creek BC, passed away on January 19, 2020 at the age of 58. Brian was born in Vanderhoof, BC April 15th, 1961 to loving parents Shirley and Denis Carriere and big brother Thom.
Brian was exceptional at anything he set his mind to, whether it was growing the best tomatoes and cucumbers in the Peace Country, leading his boys to a provincial hockey championship, or learning to play the banjo.
He loved to spend me in his garden, growing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, Swiss chard and other tasty vegetables.
Brian will always be known around the community as a leader, a coach and a role model. Nothing confirms this more than his success as a minor hockey coach.
During the 1999-2000 season, Brian and his coaching staff led the Dawson Creek Peewee Rep team to the championship, an accomplishment for Dawson Creek Minor Hockey, the players, their parents and other coaches will be proud of forever.
He was a talented tradesman, operating different companies using the names B. Carriere Handyman Services, B. Carriere Yard Services and B. Carriere Contracting.
Brian was extremely proud of his children and was happy to watch them and their families grow.
