With gratitude for a life beautifully lived Dr. Brian Everton Good passed away, age 80, on September 5, 2025 in Pembroke with family at his side. Brian served his Ottawa Valley community with compassion as a family practitioner for over 35 years after graduating from Queen’s University School of Medicine in 1970. Over the course of his career, he was an anesthetist, obstetrician, coroner and Chief of Staff at Pembroke Regional Hospital.
Despite a busy practice, he found the time to support his community as a volunteer at the Food Bank, the Eganville Legion, a member of the Eganville Rotary Club, a hockey coach and referee, an actor in community theatre, and as a chorister/member at St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Eganville. He enjoyed many bike trips, golfing, playing cards, cottaging on Lake Dore, and international travel.
Humble in manner and generous in spirit, he never sought praise, but earned respect from all. Always “the softie”, Brian had a sensitive and empathetic heart. He could bring laughter and good cheer to every gathering. Brian was also known for his “competitive” gameship and had an avid recycling hobby.
He was predeceased by the love of his life, Helen, his parents Harry and Ruth, and sister, Norah Broughton (Brent). He is survived and missed by his children Geoff (Jane), Colleen (Bill) and Keith(Jenny), grandchildren Scott, Josh, Claire, Everton, Thomas and Gracie, brothers Dennis (Gale) and Michael, and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Eganville Food Bank in memory of Dr. Good. Tributes, condolences and donations may be made online at www.zohrfuneralhome.com.
