Forbes William Eric Brown

January 2, 1963 – October 30, 2026

With great sadness we are sorry to announcing the passing of Forbes on October 30th after a brave battle with pulmonary fibrosis and cancer.

He will be sorely missed by Yuri, family and friends.

Beloved brother to Stephanie and Janet (Craig). Uncle to Erica (Peter) and Laurel and great uncle to Owen, Lindsay, Ethan, Helena and Tobin.

A graduate of Niagara College Theatre Centre with a major in costume design, Forbes was an incredible tailor. His remarkable eye for detail and boundless creativity allowed him to showcase a wonderful talent. His spectacular costumes were seen in theatre groups, 1812 re-enactment, personalized costume design, LARP and other various groups all which he dearly loved.

Beyond his talents and hobbies, Forbes will most be remembered for his gentle kindness. Like his favourite character, Eeyore, he cared deeply about his family and friends while allowing others to have the spotlight. He was a profoundly thoughtful person who lived his life with a generous heart. His love for his family and friends knew no bounds.

In lieu of flowers, donations to either the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be very much appreciated by the family.
