Brian Leslie Hearsey
October 15, 1960 – December 22, 2021
In loving memory of Brian Leslie Hearsey who passed away suddenly after a brief illness on December 22, 2021 with family by his side.
Brian leaves to mourn his daughter Danika(Andrew) and stepsons David(Krista), Bruce(Cassandra) and Vincent(Emma) Zapora and their children, his father Leslie, sister Joanne(Don), nephew Andrew(Kyla) and many aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. He will be dearly missed by his cat and best friend Boots now adopted by his lifelong friends Mario Poisson and Penny Robinson. He was predeceased by partner Jane Price (2010) and mother Janet (2020).
Brian was a hard worker with an amazing heart and resided his entire life in Ignace, Ontario. The majority of his work life was enjoyed with seasonal work as a foreman for the Department of Highways/Miller Group and as a guide for Flayers Lodge. He made many friends over the years and continued to connect or fish with them when he could. Brian had a deep love for animals and his family meant the world to him. He missed Jane and his mom, and will be so glad to be with them and not suffering his chronic pain any longer. His humour and compassion will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.
Cremation has taken place. Interment of ashes by family will occur at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Princess Court Long Term Care Facility, Dryden or the charity of your choice online or through Stevens Funeral Homes, PO Box 412, Dryden, Ontario P8N 2Z1.
