After a brave battle with pancreatic cancer, BRIAN MARSHALL passed away on Friday, May 26, 2017 with his family by his side.

He was predeceased by his parents Jack & Gladys Marshall.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Lise, daughter Jennifer (Matt), grandchildren Ashley & Matthew; brothers Dick (Jo-Anne), Wayne (Linda) and Barry (Diane); sisters Sheila, Carol and Brenda (Don). Also left to mourn the loss of their Uncle Brian are numerous nieces and nephews, all who have fond memories of their time with him.

Last but certainly not least, he is very much missed by his beloved border collie, Lucy, who was never far from his side.

Brian will be remembered as not only a caring husband, father, and Poppy but as a true cowboy with a deep and passionate love of horses and an outstanding knowledge of equine pedigree and lineage. He was fortunate to build a career around that passion and as a result, developed long-lasting friendships along the way.

A Celebration of Brian's Life will be held at the Southern Alberta Ethnic Association (SAEA) in Lethbridge on Tuesday June 13, 2017 from 3:30 - 6:30. This is a casual come and go reception. There will be prayers led by Pastor John at 4:00 as well as light snacks and refreshments being provided. For those who wish to say some words about their memories of Brian, there will be an opportunity to do so.

The address to the S.A.E.A. is 421 - 6 Avenue South. The entrance to the building faces 6th Avenue south. The parking is to the west side of the building and is not obvious to those who are not familiar with the facility.

To access the parking for this facility, please enter via the 4th street entrance just off 5th Avenue South (same side street as the parking for the Government of Alberta Building).

Please head to the end of the dead end road (towards 6th Avenue) and the entrance is to the left at the end of this street. To assist you, there will be balloons marking the entrance to the parking lot as the facility is relatively new. There is a ramp for those who have mobility challenges.

If you have any questions about the facility or the celebration itself, please email jenmarshall@telus.net.

My sincere condolences on Brian's passing. I work in reception at Home Care and enjoyed seeing Brian when he would come in for his appointments. He always had a smile on his face and was so enjoyable to talk to....heard lots about his horses. I looked forward to his visits. I was blessed that I had the honour to know him. ??

Kelly Hyde McRae, May 30, 2017

It has been more than a decade since I last saw Brian, but he will aways be remembered as a kind, gentle man, and a true cowboy. My deepest condolences to all of his family. "When it's midnight on the meadow And the cats are in the shed And the river tells a story At the window by my bed If you listen very closely Be as quiet as you can In the yard you'll hear him It is the pony man We're always there to greet him When he tumbles into town He leads a string of ponies Some are white and some are brown And they never seem to kick or bite They only want to play And they live on candy apples Instead of oats and hay And when we're all assembled He gives a soft command And we climb aboard our ponies As in a row the stand Then down the road we gallop And across the fields we fly And soon we all go sailing off Into the midnight sky"

Charissa Reeves, May 30, 2017

My heart goes out to you all in the loss of Brian. I will always treasure my recent talk with Brian at Safeway. It was a pleasure to get to know you. Laurie

Laurie Brown, May 30, 2017

I always looked up to Brian - he encouraged me to start showing st the MQHA shows when I was about 16 - and shared showing tips - especially Trail - lots of patience! We were privileged to have Poco Montleon in our barn, and Brian as a friend.

Janet Rose, May 30, 2017

I met Brian 35 years ago at the Parkside coffee shop and over the years we've had some good laughs, heard lots of stories and learned how proud he was of his family and especially how much he loved Matt and that Matt loved horses too. RIP pal.
