We Remember

MORRIS, Douglas Brian

March 31, 1931 — October 8, 2025

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Douglas Brian Morris on October 8, 2025, in West Kelowna.

Born in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, on March 13th, 1931, he spent the War years as an evacuated child in Kendall in the Lake District and went on to complete a degree in Science at King’s College, Durham University. He fulfilled his military service as an Officer serving in Libya with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers attached to the 14th/20th King’s Hussars regiment.

Brian was married in 1955 to Moira, his loving wife, and they made a home in Kinlochleven, Scotland, where he worked for British Aluminium and continued part-time military service as a First Lieutenant with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

In 1957, they immigrated to Canada with their infant son Paul when British Aluminium purchased the smelter in Baie Comeau, Quebec, where their second and third sons, Robert and Gerald were born.

In 1964, a change of employer brought them to the suburbs of Montreal and his career as a chemical engineer gave him opportunities to work for Albright and Wilson in management positions in Toronto and Vancouver before he retired in 1992.

Brian remained active in the community and within the Church, always willing to assist those less fortunate, until his health began to fade last year. An avid photographer and reader, his encyclopedic knowledge of many subjects never failed to impress his four grandchildren.

He and Moira celebrated their 70th anniversary together on April 11th before he left her behind to play with their six great-grandchildren.

He will remain forever in all of our hearts.
