BRIAN CARL HOOEY

June 29, 2025

Brian Carl Hooey of Tiverton died Sunday, June 29, 2025, with his wife and son by his side, after a very long fight to stay with them. He was 65. Born July 2, 1959, in Kincardine, he was the son of Carl and Betty Hooey. Beloved husband of Kathie, dear father of Brandon, Allison, and Kimberly, and stepfather of Bill and Mark. Brian will be missed by his uncle and aunt, Nate and Joyce Brown. His younger years were spent proudly farming side-by-side with his father, Carl, on the family farm in Ripley. Brian was a boilermaker with Local 128, Burlington, for 35 years. A special thanks to Terrance for his constant support, knowledge, hospital visits, phone calls and texts; to Laura for her care, humour, and support; Father Bill and the congregation of St. Johns Church, London, for their prayers and support; the doctors and nurses at the South Bruce Grey Health Centre, Kincardine, for their care of Brian; and finally, to family and friends for all your support. Thank you! Private services will be held with a celebration of life in September. Details will be announced, when available.

Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on. Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on. Once more, you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on. Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go 'til we're gone Love was when I loved you. One true time I'd hold to In my life, we'll always go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on (why does the heart go on?). Once more, you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on. You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart and My heart will go on and on.
