Brian Arthur Johnston of Chatham and formerly of Blenheim passed away at the Chatham-Kent Hospice on Monday December 13, 2016 at the age of 61. He will be remembered with great fondness by his wife Annette Beaudoin and her family.

Aside from family and friends, Brian’s passion in life was being a mechanic. He was gifted at being able to repair diesel engines and helped neighbours in the Blenheim area to keep their farm machinery in order. His happiness came from fixing things for other people.

In death, as in life, Brian’s legacy of fixing things will continue. In an act of complete selflessness, he made the decision to donate his body to science; to become a “teacher” at the University of Western Ontario. It was his hope that if he could help even one person or fix one more thing, then his dream would be realized.

Friends wishing to remember Brian with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Chatham-Kent Hospice.
