It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Brian Paul Furlong, of St. John, NB, husband of Cindy (Bourque) Furlong, on Monday, November 10, 2025 at the age of 71. He was the son of the late Benedict and Inez (Donovan) Furlong. He was a proud member of the carpenters Union Local 1386.

Brian had a gift for lighting up every room he walked into with his smile, laugh and easygoing nature that made everyone feel welcome and at home. Loving, caring and always ready for a good joke, he could make someone smile even on their worst day. He was always ready for friendly competition with his family and friends while playing crib where his quick wit always shone through. A devoted Maple Leaf’s fan, Brian cheered for his team through every high and low, never losing faith that this year would be the one. But above all things, Brian enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren and great grandson the most.

Besides his wife of 14 years, he leaves behind his children: Charlene, Tanya , Ashley and Erica Furlong (Tyson Sherrard); stepdaughters: Shana and Natasha; grandchildren: Brooke Furlong, Aubree Vickers, Hudson Furlong, Autumn Vickers; step grandchildren: Brooklyn, Jayda, Peyton, Tenley; one great grandson: Hayden Furlong; brothers: Terry (Rose) and Sterling (Doris); sisters: Helen, Rosalie (Ken), Glenna (Borden), Elaine, Carlene (Gilbert), Donna and Sharon; his good friend and neighbour: Scotty; as well as many nieces and nephews.
