Brian P. Ahern

Brian P. Ahern, age 73, of Middleboro and formerly of the west side of Brockton, died unexpectedly but peacefully on March 31.
Brian was the loving son of the late John J. Ahern and Teresa (King) Ahern and grew up in Dorchester before moving to Brockton at age 10. Brian was a graduate of Brockton High School, class of 1968. After high school, Brian started a lengthy career with the Goddard Hospital in Brockton (now Good Samaritan Hospital). Brian was a well liked employee in the housekeeping department and worked for over 40 years. After moving to Middleboro he started working at Market Basket in West Bridgewater; he was well liked by everyone there.
Brian was somewhat quiet however once you knew him he could always bring a smile to your face. One of the highlights of Brian's year was his annual trip to Ireland. He would save his money all year to travel back to Limerick Ireland. Limerick was a dear to Brian because his Mother was born and raised in the city. He loved seeing his cousins and using Limerick as his home base for lots of site seeing. Brian was very passionate about New England sports; especially the Bruins and Patriots. He could go on and on about what each team should be doing and what he thought about their latest game. He loved talking about sports.
Brian enjoyed the outdoors and working in his lawn. He could often be found on a long walk or just puttering around his yard making it look tidy.
Brian was the loving brother of Eileen T. Dukess and her husband Jeff of Bridgewater and the late John Ahern. Uncle of Anna Dukess of Medford. Also survived by many loving relatives and friends.
All are cordially invited to the Chapman Funerals and Cremations, 98 Bedford St. Bridgewater on Monday April 8th for a wake from 4-7pm. Burial will be private.
