Mark BRIERLEY Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 27, 2021.

Passed away peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital on Tuesday February 22, 2021 at the age of 44. Beloved husband of Carol for 15 years. Loving and proud father of Blair. Cherished son of Mike and Sydney Brierley. Dear brother of Rhonda Brierley. Mark will be greatly missed by his extended family and many friends. Mark will be remembered for his beautiful smile, big hugs, his outgoing, caring and generous personality. Mark was described as genuine when speaking, a great listener and had the ability to light up a room. He was intelligent, driven and was always taking care of everyone. Big Guy, we will miss you so much, you will be in our hearts forever and your legacy will never be forgotten. A special thank you to the staff, doctors and nurses at Joseph Brant Hospital, especially the ICU Unit, for their excellent care and compassion. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Mark to the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation would be sincerely appreciated.

Syd, Mike, Rhonda, Carol. When I heard that Mark had left us I felt the floor disappear beneath me. I absolutely can't imagine your pain. You are such a wonderful, loving supportive family I pray you find comfort in each other's strength. For me Mark was a huge, rosy guy with an infectious laugh, an attentive ear and the sort of positivity that can lift any obstacle. No matter how much time had passed since we last saw each other our conversation would resume effortlessly and with laughter. I will miss him terribly.

I was Mark's hockey coach for a couple of years, he was always a pleasure to have on the team. His energy was contagious, he always came to play and he was always willing to learn and improve. He had the biggest smile on the team, whether we won or lost. Please accept our condolences during this very difficult time.

Mark was a genuine ray of sunshine and was always such a joy to speak to and be around. His positive demeanor and sunny disposition lit up any room he was in and his sense of humor was captivating. He had an uncanny way of bringing out the best in you and leaving you with an overwhelming sense of positiveness.
I can only offer my sincerest and deepest condolences to Mark's family. Your loss is great but so is the mark he left on this world.
Let his memory be a blessing.

I didn't know Mark but I grew up with Mike. So sorry to hear about the passing of your son. No parent should have to bury a child

Mike, I was a classmate in CAPE with you and when I read the obituary of your son in the paper today and just wanted to reach out to say that you are in my thoughts. No one should ever have to bury a son or daughter and i cannot imagine the pain you are feeling.

Deepest condolences to Mike and Sydney. We remember Mark fondly as the big guy playing minor hockey for several years on the team with our little guy Mark. Very tough to hear about someone so young.
