Death Notice of Brian Heughan
It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Brian Alexander Heughan at the age of 61, on Friday, May 7, 2021 at Toronto Western Hospital. Brian was the youngest son of Jim and Colleen Heughan. Brian was much loved and will be greatly missed by his brother Robert (Francine Ouimet), his nephew and niece, William and Emily, his cousin, Peter Gorrell (Gena), the Ouimet family, Sam Totah, his mentor and friend at the Coda Health organization, and the staff and his friends at the Vita Community Living Services where he resided. A special thank you to Sam Totah, Louise Ouimet, his friend Mark at Vita residence, and Mike Harwood (William F. White Inc.), for their friendship and support to Brian over the years.
Brian will be greatly missed. His smile always lit up a room. He loved to draw and paint, his artwork is a very special legacy that his family and friends will cherish. He had a passion for movie going which was influenced by his predeceased father Caldwell James "Jim" Heughan, a member of the film industry union I.A.T.S.E local 873 for 40 yrs. With the support of then William F Whites owner, Bill White, Brian was employed for 28 yrs at William F White Ltd..
Brian sometimes battled with depression and was able to overcome these challenges through the help and support from the Coda and Vita organizations. We are forever grateful to both of these organizations for the quality of life that they helped Brian achieve.
