It is with profoundly heavy hearts that we share the passing of Brian Robert McAdam, at 83 years of age. Predeceased by his parents, Robert and Mary McAdam, siblings, Gabrielle (Bill) and Elizabeth (Morris) and survived by his siblings Patricia and Desmond (Suzanne).
Brian was a loving father to Rory (Dian), Derek, Megan (Chris), Daina (Scott), Honor, Desta (Dermot), Briana and Brodie. Grandfather to Chamonix, Steel, Aimee, Morgan and Parker. Beloved Papa to Carter, Caspian and Capri.
Brian was born and raised in Timmins, Ontario. He moved to Toronto on a hockey scholarship and soon after landed a promising career in electrical sales.
Brian came to Cobourg in 1973 with the ambition to start his own electrical wholesale company. He opened Northumberland and Durham Electric Supply, which through years of hard work, he grew into a thriving business. After a successful career, he was able to retire at an early age.
Brian loved spending his time on the golf course and in the rink, watching his children play hockey. Brian was a proud father, and loved his children more than anything.
He will be in our hearts forever and will be greatly missed.
There will be private interment for Brian with his family at St. Michael’s cemetery. In lieu of flowers, you are welcome to donate to a charity of your choice in Brian’s honour.
My sincere condolences to your entire family. You are in my thoughts during this sad time.

Wishing you peace during this difficult time. Daddy’s Girl God came and took you away I know in my mind that this is His way, That this is right, that this is mercy As He ended your suffering and pain. But a part of me is broken, My heart is aching. How ironic that this part That which gives me life And filled me with your love Now engulfs me with such pain and dread. I dread the tomorrows of not seeing your face. And feel the pain emerge as I long for your guiding voice When I walk alone amongst the crowd, Scared and without a choice Moving forward without you now. But as I step into the unknown, All grown up but still daddy's girl, I search my memory, For the wisdom you instilled in me. And I search my heart, For the love that you left behind And armed with this wisdom and love, I trek forward with my head held high. I will conquer the tomorrows I will battle each day. Live my life to the fullest, And bare your name with honor As I win this war. And on that victorious day, I will rejoice and be rewarded As God, too, will take my hand Leading me through Heaven's door And bring me back to you. To claim my prize, To claim my birth right - As forever, daddy's girl.
Desta and family, Tom and I are sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. You are in our thoughts.
Rory, sorry to hear your dad passed away. My condolences to you and your siblings. Ted Trela
