Donald Brian Meikle was born in St. Albans, England on October 7th, 1942. He spent his early childhood in England until he moved to Plainfield, New Jersey where he spent his teenage years. Brian was always a man of the water and when he moved west to sunny Southern California where he developed his love of boating. In Southern California he met his wonderful wife of 48 years Pamella Dawn Meikle.
When it came time to start a family Brian moved to Northern California to the coastal town of Santa Cruz. It is in Santa Cruz where Brian made his life. He owned and operated Pacific Coast Volvo Chrysler Jeep for over 25 years. He was member of many Santa Cruz organizations where he gave so much of his love and life. When Brian retired he made one last move to Roseville California to become the best grandpa a man could be. Brian touched so many people along his voyage of life. He was a mentor, a friend, a father, a husband, and a grandpa. A friend said it best when describing how he treated people, " He always made me feel important, and that I was family."
Brian is survived by his wife Pam, his brother Roy, his son Brian, his daughter (in-law) Erica, and his four grandchildren Will, Jonathan, Briana, and Quinn. His final voyage was March 30th 2015. The celebration of his life will be at Hotel Paradox at 1:00 on Sunday April 12th. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Brian can be sent to the Michael J.
