On Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021, Brian Thomas Chretien, husband and veteran, passed away at age 62.

Brian was born Jan. 6, 1959 in Pittsfield, Mass., to Edward Joseph Chretien and Jean Mary Boyer. He had a 20-year long career in the U.S. Navy.

On Feb. 3, 1990, he married, Lydia Boniol Gabornes.

He loved baseball, football and bowling and liked to watch sports. Brian’s favorite was billiards; he would always come home from a tournament with a trophy. Spending time with his grandkids playing videos games; and taking them to the beach and the parks was very precious to him. He was always making sure our birthdays and holidays were so full of love and joy.

Brian was preceded in death by his father Edward, and his mother Jean. He is survived by his wife, Lydia; two stepchildren, Margie, and Brad; three grandchildren, Tia (Richard), Brandon and Jayden; great grandchildren, Samara and Aaliyah; three sisters, Margaret, Darlene, Janet, and one brother Steven.
