NUHN: Brian of RR 4 Clinton

Passed away suddenly at the Seaforth Community Hospital with his family by his side on Thursday, April 10, 2025 at the age of 71. Cherished husband of Judy (Armstrong) Nuhn for over 48 years. Loving dad of Jordan and Amber Nuhn, Lindsay Nuhn, and David and Emily Nuhn. Proudest grandpa of Dylan, Forrest, Heath, and Meadow. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Dennis and Laurie Nuhn, Bill and Yumi Nuhn, Dave Button, Gerald and Barb Armstrong, Marilyn and Robert Newbigging, and Kevin Armstrong. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Ross and Doreen Nuhn, his sister Cheryl Button and his parents-in-law Don and Martha Armstrong.

Brian grew up on a farm near Gowanstown in Perth County where he developed his love for animals. He attended high school in Listowel. After marrying Judy in 1976, he graduated from Ontario Veterinary College at Guelph University, and they moved to Seaforth in 1978. They stayed in the area and raised their family in the community where he ran his small and large animal veterinary practice. While he sold his large animal practice in 2001 and small animal practice in 2010, he only officially retired at the end of 2024. 

Brian was talented and loved to sing. He was also an avid reader, crossword puzzle enthusiast, storyteller, fisherman, #1 sports fan, loving and supportive husband, father, grandpa and friend. He lived his life for his family and friends whom he cherished and often made sure to tell how proud he was of all of them.  

Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 87 Goderich Street West, SEAFORTH on Wednesday, April 16th from 5 – 8 PM.

Brian’s memorial service will be held at the Egmondville United Church, 26 Kippen Road, EGMONDVILLE on Thursday, April 17th at 11 AM. Private family interment Egmondville Cemetery. View Brian’s service here https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EBpMu3jqZ/

Condolence from Angela (Postma) Wilken on April 12th, 2025 12:33 AM

So sorry to hear of his passing.
(Dr) Brian Nuhn was a good old fashion vet and family friend too.
He actually saved my childhood horse by stitching up a 2ft wound and giving me strict instructions and telling me I could do it.
He also did a C-section on my favourite pregnant dog and revived all 10 of her puppies!
He was even a source of support to me when I was going thru a difficult time in my life, by listening to me during vet appts.
He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
Condolences to Judy, Jordan, Lindsay and David, and all family and friends closest to him.

Condolence from Carolanne Doig on April 12th, 2025 10:35 AM

Judy, David, Jordan, Lindsay and all your family as well as Brian’s many friends, my sincere sympathy to you all. We were so blessed to have Brian and Judy choose our community to live, work, and raise their family. Brian epitomized the facets of life in a small town. One day he’s stitching up your dog, the next he’s cruising around the golf course with a beer in his hand, or yelling at the top of his lungs in the curling club, “SWEEP”, and the next singing in the church choir or Harmony Kings. As an avid animal lover, with many pets who benefitted from Brian’s skill, knowledge, and compassion, I salute him from all my four legged friends whose lives were improved by Brian. I will miss his smile and positive attitude. Judy and family you have my deepest condolences.

Condolence from Bobbi Dale on April 12th, 2025 10:53 AM

I was in HuronSong Chorus along with Brian for a number of years, he had a strong singing voice, but often had to be reminded to stay focused, which would bring a chuckle to those around him.

Condolence from Mike Ritter on April 12th, 2025 10:21 PM

As classmates through OVC , our friendship spanned over 50 years. Brian could lighten up many tense situations, whether we were going into extra innings in a tie OVC ‘78 baseball playoff game, or preparing for final exams. He had a way to make everyone in his presence relaxed & focus on the task. Brian’s easy going nature drew you in & want to spend time with him. He was fun to be around . It’s been an honour to be his colleague & friend. (Rit’s )

Condolence from Ron Ritchie on April 13th, 2025 11:08 AM

Brian was one of the first of many local employers who happily became involved with the Cooperative Education programme at Seaforth District High School. His students not only observed his tremendous compassion for all animals, but quickly learned through osmosis the importance of loving your chosen career and many of the other values that a positive work ethic brings to everyday life. I really enjoyed my visits with him!

Very sincere, heartfelt condolences to Judy and Brian’s much-loved family. I too have a big, aching hole in my gut at this time and will miss that wonderful, lovable, crazy guy. Brian was definitely a unique, one-of-a-kind, special man – generous, kind, authentic, humble, accomplished veterinarian and a very funny, great storyteller. We shared many good times and laughs together at OVC, vet hockey tournaments, vet conferences (Chuck and Nuhner were legendary in that regard), various social events and recently we even shared similar health concerns. Brian lived an exceptional, full and happy life… a life well-lived. God bless, buddy.

Lindsay and family I am so sorry for your loss! I got to know Brian as a young girl going to the vets with my mom . When I was older, I had my own dogs and dealt with Brian. He always knew you by name and always knew the type of dogs you loved. He was an awesome vet and a great guy! He will be truly missed !

Condolence from Fergus Alexander& Sandra Alexander on April 14th, 2025 2:26 PM

Our condolences to Brian’s family. After we moved out west my frequent attendance to OVA conferences and class reunions were never complete without the fun encounters that I always had with Nuhner (Brian) . We will miss you buddy.

Deepest sympathy to Judy and Family. Brian was a wonderful guy. You just wanted to be with him for stories and laughs. He was always upbeat which was infectious. We spent lots of time together during the Dairy Health Management Modules continuing education. So very sorry for your loss.

Condolence from George Wood on April 14th, 2025 3:52 PM

To Judy and family: I am very sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. I graduated one year after Brian from OVC and knew him through the fraternity. For many years I had the pleasure of attending the Elliot Lake Fishing Conference with Brian where we shared many laughs at the stories he liked to tell. There will be a hole in our fishing group from now on for sure.

Condolence from Wanda Dietz on April 14th, 2025 4:38 PM

Sincerely – Wanda Dietz

Condolence from Terry johnston on April 14th, 2025 5:03 PM

Talk about a guy lighting up a room when he walks in. Your mood could never be sour or negative if Brian was close by. He loved life, loved making people feel better and of course loved his family. It was an honour to call him a friend. Sad news indeed. Terry and Jill Johnston

Condolence from Harry and Donna Arts on April 14th, 2025 8:27 PM

Our community has lost someone who certainly had a huge impact on so many, over so many years and in so many ways. Many of us were so very fortunate to have Brian care for our pets and livestock … and for also being such a friendly soul.
Our deepest sympathies to Brian’s family.

Condolence from Jim Fairles on April 14th, 2025 8:39 PM

I left vet school two years after Brian – into the same situation – mixed practice. I thoroughly enjoyed his energetic and thoughtful take on life and the profession. His “sage advice” was always welcome.
And of course you cant forget bumping elbows on the ice as I played for the rival Grey Bruce team…
Brian left his mark on the profession and will be missed. Our thoughts are with Judy and family in this difficult time.

Condolence from Nick Stroeder on April 14th, 2025 8:50 PM

I wanted to express my sincere condolences to the family on the sudden passing of Brian. I remember him well as a little guy playing on the beach in Port Elgin and as he grew into a kind and thoughtful family man. Over the last number of years, I have immensely enjoyed my phone calls with Brian reaching out on a regular basis to chat. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Uncle Don

Condolence from Taija Croskedy on April 15th, 2025 1:01 PM

Condolence from Dave Douglas on April 15th, 2025 6:11 PM

Judy and Family,
Brian was one of the first people I got to know when I entered OVC in 1977. We had great laughs at frat events and many events after graduation. Through his attitude I saw that OVC didn’t have to be overwhelming- a time and place for work and play.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
Deepest condolences.

Dear Judy and family,

May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in knowing we care. We are holding you close in our hearts.

Condolence from Reg Reed on April 16th, 2025 9:08 AM

My sympathies to Judy and family.
Brian was a wonderful neighbouring colleague. I managed to to get away from OVC a year before Brian, but he was already well established in Seaforth when I finally returned to my hometown,Mitchell, years later to practice. We managed neighbouring mixed animal practices, traded a few clients back and forth, were at conferences and meetings, and played hockey and golf together. The stories , jokes, and laughs came easy for Brian. He often helped me put things in perspective. I’ll miss going to the occasional London Knights game with you Brian.
Rest in pease.

So sorry for your of Brian. He was my summer student the summer of 1977, and a colleague for many years.

Condolence from Donna Spracklin on April 16th, 2025 7:15 PM

Dear Judy and Family.
My sincere condolences on your loss.
I have fond memories of Brian from Vet school and our OVC 78 reunions, Brian being a regular attendee as was I. We have more reunions to come, there will be a hole, he will be missed.
Donna Spracklin, another OVC 78 classmate.

Condolence from Rob Tetu and Cora de Vries on April 16th, 2025 7:33 PM

Brian was a wonderful guy and a sympathetic vet. We had a cat that went from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde when we took him to the vet clinic. Brian offered to visit him at home. So along with that cat and our other two, and our neighbour’s two cats, Brian would do “herd health”, examining all the cats and dispensing injections at our home. This went on for years.

Just one example of his kind, generous nature.

Condolence from James Sampa and. Cheryl-Ann Stadelbauer-Sampa on April 16th, 2025 7:36 PM

Dear Judy, Jordan, Lindsay, and David: Rev. Tom passed on the sad news of Brian’s passing. We have so many treasured memories of him and of time with members of your family. Brian filled a room with warmth and laughter. We’re sorry an out-of-town commitment prevents us from paying our respects in person. Holding you in prayer.

Condolence from Vicki Carter on April 16th, 2025 8:10 PM

Judy and Family,
May the many happy, fun and loved memories of Brian give you peace and comfort during this challenging time. He touched the lives of many and will be remembered by many. We are thinking of you.

Vicki, Sean, Kyra, Camden, Kerrington & Kaelin

Condolence from Phil Garriock on April 16th, 2025 10:45 PM

To Brian’s Family. I send my deepest sympathies to you with the sudden passing of Brian. I was a neighbouring veterinarian for decades. I completed the dairy module course with Brian where we enjoyed 2 years of fun and laughter with him. He served his community faithfully and that commitment should be remembered. He had a jovial and fun-loving character which could light up any room. We will miss Brian but we will remember him.

Condolence from Dale and Catherine Wick on April 17th, 2025 7:44 AM

To Judy and family..condolences to all of you on the passing of Brian. He always had a smile, a joke, a hearty laugh and such a wonderful singing voice. He looked after many of our pets over the years with care and compassion. He will be remembered for his caring ways in our community. Sending you hugs and prayers.

Condolence from Jim & Linda Schurter on April 17th, 2025 1:16 PM

Dear Judy and Family:
Please accept our sincere condolences for your sudden loss. We were unaware of Brian’s passing until we saw his obituary in today’s Listowel Banner. I have fond memories of classes with you and Brian during my first few years at LDSS.
Jim & Linda Schurter

Condolence from Trish MacGregor on April 17th, 2025 1:49 PM

Dear Judy and family,
My sincere condolences to you all. I will always remember Brian for his warmth, kindness and his humour. A recent memory is sitting with Brian and his grandchildren enjoying snacks after church one Sunday. There was lots of teasing and fun going back and forth across the table from all directions. It was obvious how much he loved being a grandpa and how much his grandchildren loved him.

The tributes to Brian this morning were wonderful. It was a wonderful celebration of life for a wonderful person. Hold tight to the shared stories and good memories. There will be many.

Thinking of you all.

Trish

Condolence from Sherri Rea on April 17th, 2025 5:12 PM

To Judy and family,
Oh what sad, sad news it was to hear of Brian’s sudden passing, my deepest condolences and heartfelt thoughts are with you now.
As most have said my mind is filled with the hardiest of laughs I’ve ever had with someone, and the most colourful stories ever shared. My most vivid: trying to navigate down a curling rink me as lead, Brian as second, sweeping our guts out for you know who’s shall we say ever so slow rock, and trying to laugh and catch my breath all at the same time- those OVMA spiels with Brian are etched in my mind and the humour that flowed made every hard swept rock a pure pleasure . Never a dull moment had, and the times spent with Brian whether discussing vet medicine or his shenanigans with his NOVA pals on and off ice will be forever remembered and forever missed.

Condolence from Glenn Ouellette on April 17th, 2025 7:23 PM

I have spent much time with Nuhner over the 36 years since I met him – a week at the end of May for at least 17 years at the week long Algoma Veterinary Conference – fishing and expounding wisdom on Manitoulin Island and at Laurentian Lodge North of Elliot Lake – many another weekend curling in the annual Ontario Veterinary Medical Association Bonspiels and then at the Northern Ontario Veterinary Association Bonspiels later during those transition years – another weekend at the OVMA Annual Conference in Toronto in Januarys for many years – and of course the long weekends each year at the NOVA Conferences in Septembers – even at few Canadian Veterinary medical Association Conferences over the years in the summer – never once saw him at a lecture – never once questioned his beautiful humanness – I have so many fond memories of Nuhner, Nuhner stories and Nuhnerisms that its easy to forget that I will miss hearing him sing and laugh again – I was blessed to have known him

Condolence from Lois Reoch on April 18th, 2025 2:59 PM

To Brian’s Family and Siblings. Just learning of Brian’s untimely passing, I extend my sincere sympathy and within about six months of Doreen’s passing. May knowing others are remembering and thinking of you help you through this heavy grief. Kind regards. Lois Reoch

Condolence from Bryan and Nancy Peter on April 22nd, 2025 7:16 AM

Brian was truly loved and respected by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a friendly, positive person who excelled in his profession and his family and community life. I had the privilege of playing softball with Brian for five years with the Turf Club and have many fond memories of those years. Sincere condolences to Judy and family.

Condolence from june and Stan Johns on April 25th, 2025 7:48 PM

Judy and your family:
I have read all the many many wonderful good things from your friends in the above notes….and there is nothing more to add.
He never laughed or a thing when I phoned one night at 9 p.m. worried about my little pup chewing into my thyroid pill bottle.
your neighbour behind you with a hug,
June

Condolence from Patti Munnings on April 26th, 2025 3:59 PM

Sorry this is so after the fact but to Dr. Nuhn’s family I wanted to tell you what a Special Veterinarian that he was. He was helping out at the Seaforth Vet clinic a few years ago when they still did on call on the weekends when I had to take my beloved cat there who was very sick. He was so kind and compassionate to both my cat and myself and did everything he could while keeping in close contact with me throughout. I will never forget this. I know you do not know me but my prayers are with you.
Patti Munnings

Condolence from HeatherJoy on May 6th, 2025 7:11 PM

Brian was always inviting when I returned to Huron County in my late 20s, (relatives in Mitchell, Kincardine, Owen Sound, Lion’s Head and Markdale) and laughed when telling him stories about milking cows in Manitoba during the Flood of 97, as well as the -40 winter milking there. He was so blessed to have supportive family like all of you. Official veterinary medicine elluded some of us due to life challenges and circumstances, however he was always able to give life advice to set someone with discouraged energies back up into Hope. He was a collaborator, and a transmuter of happiness and fun!
Heaven has gained a fabulous angel – which I’m sure will be felt througout the county.
With love from The West, as family in farming (originally the OS and 6/10 crew) here ages,
HeatherJoy and boys

Condolence from Stephen Ball on May 8th, 2025 4:19 PM

I always enjoyed speaking and fishing and celebrating with Brian each year in Algoma. Truly the quintessential Veterinarian. I hope Dennis Prodan and he are having a beverage somewhere right now now. I am truly sorry that he is gone.

Condolence from Dennis and Dianne Dosman on May 13th, 2025 6:42 AM

To Dave and all of the Nuhn family: Our sincerest condolences to all of the Nuhn family on the passing of Brian. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Dennis and Dianne Dosman

Condolence from Char and Jim on May 18th, 2025 10:15 AM

Dear Judy and family ,
I’m sending you condolences for the passing of Brian . Such a great man . He has left a great hole in our family .
The years we came to your place for the Armstrong Family Reunions, Brian was always welcoming to us and such a gracious host. He will be forever missed but fondly remembered.
Today is Jordan’s birthday and it will be bittersweet, not having his Dad here to celebrate.
Sending you love and hugs from Char and Jim Brogly
