Obituary of Brian Keith Enman

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Brian Keith Enman, age 63, on December 2, 2018, with family by his side. Loved by family and friends alike, he will be dearly missed. He was born to Kilburn (Kippy) and Rita (Hachey) Enman on March 13, 1955. He is survived by his sons Bryan (Jeanette) and Keith (Serena); Grandchildren Hailey, Abby, Eric and Bradley; Mother Rita; Brother Kilburn (Kip) Enman; Sisters Deborah (Doug) Gallant, Alice (Kevin) McCarville, and Rita Crowe; Nieces, Nephews, and numerous relatives and friends. He is predeceased by his father Kippy and his wife of 39 years, Anne Marie (Cormier) Enman. In 1974, he began work at Saint John Shipbuilding becoming a pipefitter in UA Local 213. He continued as a pipefitter for the next 42 years until his retirement in 2016. No matter where he was, he was always happy to "talk shop" with his fellow Brothers and Sisters from Local 213. He could talk for hours about his profession and found great enjoyment in doing so with his friends. He loved his weekend retreat at "The Lake". Spending time at South Oromocto Lake was a huge part of his life. At The Lake, he loved hunting, fishing, card games, horse shoes, or just hanging out in his chair looking out into the lake. Most of all, he loved telling stories around the bonfire, making everyone laugh, including himself. He could always be counted on to help out anyone on the beach, any way he could. His Grandkids will miss their weekend trips to The Lake to see their Papa. Special thanks to Darren and Michelle Brooks and Troy and Francine Butler for the strong friendship and support they provided over the past 4 years at The Lake since his wife’s passing. Thank you to the Palliative Care Unit at the Saint John Regional Hospital for the compassionate care they provided during this difficult time.
