Obituary of Brian Daniel Barton

It is with great sadness that the family of Brian Barton announces his passing on April 9, 2018. Born in Saint John on July 8, 1965, Brian was the son of Frances (Gallant) Morehouse and adopted son of the late Marilyn and Kenneth Barton. Brian worked as a millwright in New Brunswick and in several places on Canada’s West Coast. He moved to beautiful British Columbia where he lived up until his passing and where he was truly happy.
