Obituary of Brian Wilson Starkey

It is with profound sadness that the family of Brian Wilson Starkey of Nerepis announces his untimely passing at the age of 59. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Elizabeth (nee Moore) Starkey, and his two daughters, Meghan and Brianna, his greatest source of joy and pride. He is also survived by his father, Ken Starkey of Grand Bay-Westfield, brothers Carl (Josie) of Chipman and Gary (Lorna) of Nerepis; mother-in-law Elizabeth Moore of Welsford and father-in-law Archie Moore of Ridgewood Veteran's Wing, Saint John; brother-in-law Gary (Liette) Moore of Douglas; sister-in-law Dawn (Harold) Miner of Titusville; nephews and nieces Jonathan, Jeffrey, Leanne, Jillian, Adam, Alyson, and Courtney; and also Anne Moore, David Ganong, and Nick Cunningham. Brian was predeceased by his mother, Audrey (Huskins) Starkey, and Opal Collings. Brian was a loyal and dedicated heavy equipment operator for the Department of Transportation for 36 years.
