Brian F. OLDS

Knowing Brian in the way that I did is something I have always cherished. Without Brian, I would not be the Brian that I am today. Having learned so much from him in the many years we spent together I still feel that I carry it all with me. Brian was a very important part of my family and with every special occasion that passes I still think of him. I wish I could share with him who I've become. I feel very fortunate to have always been the little Brian to his big Brian. Brian Olds really was...

Just learned of this reading StFX alumni mag. So sorry and my condolences to family. I met Brian my 1st year at STFX 1976 - both on MacIsaac 2nd floor -I remember him as the obit reads but in addition I remember “oldsie” for being so welcoming to me and others - great athlete yes but he did not define himself as that as he was so much more.

We were classmates at AY Jackson in the early 1970's. We spoke only occasionally in the school halls but he was always cordial during these brief conversations. My condolences go out to his family and close friends.

I'm very sorry to hear about Brian's passing. I can only assume after reading that wonderful obit that he had lived an amazing life. He was best friends with my father in high school. They remained close for a long while, lost touch many years ago. I remember him well, always super nice and such a joy to be around. I always thought of reaching out and now. I only wish I had. God bless him and to everyone grieving.

Brian was the best man at my wedding and my best friend for many years. We became close in high school and for many years after. He disappeared on one of his world trips and we lost touch. Glad to know that the rest of his life was happy as he certainly deserved it. I will miss him. Much love.

So sorry to learn of Brian's passing. Brian was larger than life. He had an infectious laugh, way too much energy for most of us, a kindness in 'being there' and helping so many others' out when a 'big strong guy' was needed. He was a big part of my sister's gang (along with Andy, Diane, Liz, and so many others) at AY Jackson High School, and in gatherings and friendships he kept for many years afterwards. I'm glad Brian found you, Ellen, and that he had a soulmate in you. My condolences to...

It is with heartfelt sorrow to learn of Brian’s passing. He certainly brightened our lives, challenged and enriched our children, introduced his love of sport and cycling to so many - including our oldest son who went on to complete a full Ironman. Only Brian wore a white shirt, tie, and suit jacket to his grade 4 class picture - not surprising that he was the principal’s favourite and put in charge of the AV equipment for the whole public school in grade 5. He had one of the largest...

To know Brian was to Love him. Thank you for being a part of our lives. You will always have a special place in our hearts and will forever be our Uncle Big Brian. God Bless. Dona, David, Brian and Madi
