Brian McLAUGHLIN Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from May 19 to May 20, 2018.

McLAUGHLIN, Dr. Brian John, D.C.,
Died peacefully on May 8, 2018, aged 86 in White Rock. Born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1932, Brian worked an amazing variety of jobs including ski instructor, teacher, outback farmhand, Vancouver policeman, and Alaska fisherman. His final career as a chiropractor spanned 40 years and helped people from all walks of life. Brian was an active member of the Rotary Club. He loved almost all sports and most especially rugby. He was a proud and attentive husband, father, and grandfather. Brian attended countless school plays and sports events. His grandsons got silly songs and funny faces, as did his wife of almost 60 years. We will miss his bright mind, offside humour, storytelling and most of all his love. Brian is survived by his wife Nancy McLaughlin, son Michael (Dr. Andrea Cheung), daughter Emily (Graham Law), grandsons Ethan and Thomas Law, and extended family around the world. Brian's funeral will be on May 26, 2018, 4:00 p.m. at Victory Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or toast him with a beer.

Brian,
I will miss you greatly! You were my Chiropractic father and mentor. Your pearls of wisdom were invaluable and helped steer me through my Chiropractic career. I particularly enjoyed our shared time together at the CCA, especially during those not so serious times. The jokes were endless and your story telling seemingly unlimited, must have been from a life well lived. You certainly did! I will lift a Porter in your memory and have a wee dram of single malt to follow, ok, maybe two!

The World, and especially the Chiropractic Profession has lost one of its shining lights. Brian was pillar; a source of wisdom, wit and practical action. He was a mentor to me and I'll sure miss him. My best wishes and condolences to the family who I know he loved so much.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Brian. I went to school with his daughter, Emily. Sending my deepest condolences to the family. May the memories you all shared together provide some comfort to you during this difficult time. Take care.

Sincerely,

Sharel Wentz and family
