BROWN, Gary Douglas


Died gently and peacefully on July 9, 2011 at Comox, BC with family by his side. Remembered with love by his wife, Beth, and his Regeehr in-laws: Mom Donalda, Brothers John, David (and children Kate, Ben, Joel, and Samantha) and Dan (and wife Heather, and children Jacob and Erica). Predeceased by his mother, Sylvia Brown, and his father-in-law, Clifford Regehr.


Born in Toronto in 1945, Gary and his Mom moved to BC when Gary was an infant. He spent his teens in the Okanagan, and then made his living in the film lab business in Vancouver.


He retired in 2007, then he and Beth moved to the Comox Valley. Gary had a razor sharp and observant wit that delighted his friends and family. When he was able, he enjoyed fly fishing, golf and photography, and was always an avid reader.


A private family memorial will be held at a fly fishing river. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Lung Association.
