HibbyBrian RIP

[KazHibby]

It's with great sadness that I write this post to inform of the passing of Brian Cunnison (HibbyBrian on Hibsnet and the bounce) at Doha, Qatar.
A life long Hibby, Hibs historian and member of St Pat's, we shared many good times watching the Hibees on HibsTV here in Doha, often reminising of his times following the Hibs through the 60s and 70s, the old terracing and Hibs history.
We managed to share the last two matches whilst he was in hospital, which he took in his usual manner.
"To the angels high above"
RIP Buddy

Sad news.. RIP

[lyonhibs]

Now that's a scunner. An encyclopedia of Hibs knowledge from what I could tell just from his posts.

RIP

Awful news. I worked with Brian when I was a student temping. Lovely guy big Hibby and it was Brian who was a leading light from our office that horrible day of the takeover. Shell shocked we followed when we could over to the stadium for any news. Brian campaigned to take donations to buy shares and promote Hands Off Hibs. Although that would only be one slice of his Hibstory.

Sorry to hear of another great Hibbys passing :(

I'm sorry to hear this, he was obviously a lovely guy with a deep passion for Hibs. Rest easy Brian.

I didn't know Brian but from his posts on here it was clear he was passionate about all things Hibernian past and present. Sad news indeed.

Brian was a St. Patrick's Branch member. He worked and lived in Qatar for many years and is survived by his wife and three kids Callum, Isla and Kyle all of whom are members too. I had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions, the last time with his lads last year midweek, when we met in the Four in Hand, where he was picking up 5 dark green polo shirts, with the Branch badge on, for his whole family. We then took a wander to the Eastern Cemetery to show the kids Dan McMichael's gravestone. Back to the Four for several drams of his favourite malt.
Brian was a good and generous guy. He donated generously to all Branch causes and works, one of many examples being his donation of 4 Hibs season tickets each year to the Canongate Youth Project, through Kicks For Kids.
Brian was a Hibernian historian with a vast knowledge of our Club from it's inception. Back in 2010 when we started with 5 members, Brian on hearing of this new kid on the block, whose aim was to keep Hibernian FC's history and charitable ethos alive, was one of the first to sign up.

RIP amigo.

A lovely tribute G. I'm devastated by this. As Freddy says we must be of a similar vintage & it was always a great pleasure to read & share his posts about the old days, we also share a forename! On the occasions when my memory failed me on my favourite subjects of Joe Baker or The Tornadoes Brian would step in & add to or gently correct my post. I always believed I must have known him from my Edinburgh days but, to my great regret, I never checked to confirm this. Was it Brian who produced small booklets about various aspects of our history? Sincere condolences to all his family & friends. You have the small consolation of knowing he saw that day & the greater consolation of knowing Brian was a fine man who, just from posts on here, lived a full & generous life. I'll miss him.

[Jonnyboy]

Absolutely gutted to hear of this. I met Brian a number of times when he was over for Hibs games and he was a brilliant guy to have as a friend.

RIP Brian and condolences to his family and friends.

[Weegreenman]

Rest in peace Brian 💚

[ChilliEater]

Really sad news. I'll miss his posts on here.

RIP Brian

[Green Man]

Very sorry to hear this, RIP Brian.

A good few years ago now, Brian was kind enough to offer me the sponsors’ evening place he won in a draw on here. It was a brilliant evening and I’ll always be grateful to Brian for giving me the ticket.

My thoughts are with Brian’s family and friends.

[Hibrandenburg]

RIP Brian. Condolences to the family.

[BILLYHIBS]

RIP Brian taken too soon.

[Billy Whizz]

Sad news
Rest in peace Brian

[LancsHibs]

Had the pleasure of meeting Brian and chatting Hibs, a lovely man. RIP

[NAE NOOKIE]

Always sad when a passionate member of the Hibs family passes, which Brian clearly was …. RIP and condolences to his friends and family.

[Conrad Gray]

Despite having never met Brian or spoke to him in person, I am extremely saddened by this news. I have exchanged messages and emails with him for years about tales of old hibs and related items. He was always very generous towards Hibs related fundraising and is a sad loss to the Hibs family. RIP

[Hibernia&Alba]

Aw man, I dread these threads; it's terrible to read of the death of a fellow .netter. Such a shame and a big loss to the forum; his Hibs knowledge was tremendous. RIP indeed and best wishes to all Brian's family and friends.

[BroxburnHibee]

So sad.

RIP.

Sorry to hear of this.

I didn’t know Brian as far as I can recall, but it sounds like we were of a similar vintage.

Condolences to friends and family.

[FranckSuzy]

Very sorry to hear this sad news. Brian was a great supporter of Kicks for Kids and every year, bought 4 tickets for the Canongate Youth Project to use. RIP Brian 💚
