It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Brian R. Tatham, a dedicated father, husband, brother, grandfather and esteemed otolaryngologist (ENT surgeon).
He passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Oct. 29, 2024. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Joanne, predeceased by his daughter, Dr. Barbara Tatham, and is survived by his cherished daughters Dr. Erica (Bryan), Deanna (Josh), and Laura (Jessi). Dr. Tatham was also a proud grandfather to Dash, Chase, Austin and Tate, who brought him great joy.
For more than 30 years, Dr. Tatham was a skilled and compassionate surgeon at Scarborough General Hospital and served as the co-chief of surgery, where he was highly respected by his colleagues and patients alike.
Beyond his medical career, he found great fulfilment in his family and passions outside of medicine. Dr. Tatham loved to travel and explore the world. He enjoyed home-cooked meals, loud action-packed movies, and spending countless hours at his favourite place in the world — his cottage — where he created lasting memories with the people he loved.
Dr. Tatham’s legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of his family, friends and the many lives he touched throughout his life.
Bye for now.
