Brian Gordon Hall March 23,1952 – September 30, 2025

It is with great sadness that the family announce the passing of Brian Hall at the Grace Hospital after a brief battle with cancer at the age of 73.

He is survived by his loving wife, Doreen Moore; children Leesa Walker (Jeff), Corey Hall, and Brendan Hall; and granddaughters Kylie (who he lovingly called peanut), Hannah, and Rachel. He was predeceased by his son Jason, parents John and Irene, brother David, and nephew Jordan.

Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, while his father worked for the sugar company there, he and his family returned to Canada when he was a toddler, settling in Winnipeg, where he lived the rest of his life.

His favourite place was the backyard sanctuary he created with Doreen. He loved gardening, just like his dad, and took great joy in the antics of the birds, bunnies, and squirrels that shared the space with them. Brian was proud of his back yard and he enjoyed hosting annual family gatherings on Canada Day with his daughters and granddaughters. He was so proud to see his granddaughters grow over the years. And spending that special day with them from when they were toddlers meant a lot and created so many lasting memories for him.

When not at home, the islands brought him happiness. Whether it was cruises through the Caribbean, a work trip to Anguilla, or time spent fishing with his buddy Irv on an island in Lake of the Woods, he always spoke of these experiences with a smile on his face.

Brian loved his daughters and granddaughters in his own special way, He had a special place in his heart for animals and became a reluctant but devoted cat magnet to Leesa’s four cats and the dogs as well.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His spirit will live on in our hearts, our memories, and in the everyday moments that remind us of him.

The family would like to thank the staff at 3 north for their care and kindness during Brian’s final days.

If friends so desire in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Brian’s name to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation Inc., 675 McDermot Ave or Centre Flavie Inc.

In keeping with his wishes cremation has taken place with a private internment at a later date.
