An amazing man has left the planet. If you knew him, you know.

Born in Comox in 1960, he departed peacefully from the Saanich Peninsula Hospital in 2026 after a short battle with dementia, with a lot of living in between. He was predeceased by his mother, father and sister.

Lawren was a passionate man, devoted to Sheila, his wife of 24 years whom he met during a high school band trip to Alberta in 1974 (always said it took more than 20 years to get married because Sheila was a slow learner). Although he claimed to be a dog person, he loved our cat Solo, and was heartbroken when we had to send Solo over the rainbow bridge in 2021.

His career included working in the Parts Department at BMW Richmond for many years and as a Parts Specialist for Nicholson Manufacturing for more than a decade, dealing with people around the world. He was dedicated to each of those roles, expecting the best from himself and his coworkers and making lifelong friends along the way.

Mr. Brown was an avid supporter of the Canucks and Lions and enjoyed travel with Sheila. He was also a diehard Van Halen fanatic. He enjoyed playing hockey and golf; although not always happy with the results, he enjoyed the post-game beer with his friends.

No service will be held at the request of the family. If you wish to honor memory, have a beer with friends and share your Lawren Brown stories.
