Brian Henderson

Nov 8, 1944-Sept 1, 2025

"I never really understood how someone could say they were happy and sad at the same time. Now I totally understand."

With heavy hearts, we announce the departure of Brian Douglas Henderson-beloved husband, father, friend, and business leader on September 1, 2025.

Brian faced cognitive decline with courage and determination, exploring every possible therapy before accepting that healing was not in the cards. Through it all, he maintained his dignity, supported by the love of those around him, including the exceptional doctors and caregivers who aided him along the way.

A proud pharmacist and passionate entrepreneur, Brian served on numerous pharmacy boards and, alongside his wife Betty Anne, pursued many successful business ventures. He led Airline Hotels as Chair for over 25 years with vision and integrity.

Brian embraced life with a spirit of adventure-sailing, scuba diving, kayaking, golfing, biking, hiking, and traveling the world-but his greatest joy was time spent with friends and family. His gentleness and love to animals, especially dogs, was well known.

He was predeceased by his daughter Michelle Henderson. Left to celebrate his life are his wife Betty Anne Latrace-Henderson; his son Scott Henderson (Sherry); extended family; and many cherished friends.

As per Brian's wishes, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Society, Hope's Home or Cosmopolitan Industries.
