January 12, 1936 – January 18, 2026

Brian Arthur Harris, age 90 years, passed away peacefully in his Selkirk home surrounded by his family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Deanna (nee Chapman), his three children; Mike (Cindy), Wendy (Steve), Chris (Brenda); son-in-law Kym Terry (Nicki); eight grandchildren; Justin Harris (Kim), Mandy Packota (Trevor), Tory Harris (Briane), Colin Harris (Melissa), Melissa Andrade (Rob), Jillian Harris (Erik), Andrew Harris (Nicole), Catherina Golden (Tyler); fourteen great-grandchildren plus one more due to arrive in February; his brother in England, Les Harris (Audrey); and many nieces and nephews, in both England and Canada.

Brian served in the RAF and was proud of his service! He was a devoted family man who wanted the best for them. He was always a hard worker. He built two houses in England before immigrating to Canada in 1978, where he built his family one last home. He loved spending time with family and enjoyed many happy summers at their backyard pool. He retired in 2000 with Deanna and then spent many years travelling, meeting many people who became friends.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Clarke and Nurse Heidi from Palliative Care, and all the Homecare staff who compassionately cared for Brian over these past months.

Flowers gratefully declined. As tokens of sympathy, donations may be made to the Cerebral Palsy Association of Manitoba in support of Owen’s Heroes.

Brian leaves behind a legacy built on hard work and service, integrity, family and friendship, and love. His absence will be deeply felt.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Clandeboye Hall on Thursday, January 29, 2026 at 1:30 p.m.
