Brian Meldrum Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Young Gilbert Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc. - Algonac on Mar. 9, 2026.
Brian Henry Meldrum Sr. age 69, of Algonac, MI passed away unexpectedly March 5, 2026 in the McLaren Macomb hospital. He was born May 15, 1958 in St. Clair, MI to the late Henry F. and Agnes (nee Korpak) Meldrum.

A Journeyman Electrician, Brian retired after over 40 years at the River District Hospital. He was a true handyman and master of the grill, but his greatest joy was his family. He never missed a sporting event for his children and loved being a "PAPA" more than anything. An avid outdoorsman, Brian loved fishing, boating, and bowling.

Brian is survived by his wife of 50 years Dolores, children Mary (J.P.) Wiese, Brian (Trisha) Meldrum, and Kevin Meldrum, grandchildren Mackenzie Meldrum, Logan Meldrum, Marjorie Wiese, and Estelle Wiese, and a sister Pamela Meldrum. He was preceded in death by siblings Kris, Joseph, and Shelly.

Per Brian's wishes, no funeral service will be held at this time, and celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Family Wishes. Brian would ask you to make time for family. Have that family BBQ, enjoy the outdoors, go bowling, or take the kids/grandkids fishing, Time is Fleeting don't take a moment for granted.
