Born in Stoughton and raised in Brockton, he was the son of the late Robert J. and Lois M. (Cullenberg) Merrey.

Brian was a graduate of Brockton High School.

He worked as a master electrician for the Wilkinson Companies in Rockland.

A kind and giving person, he was always admired by many for being the “smartest person” they ever met. He was interested in anything technical, played tennis and softball in his younger years, enjoyed fishing, and skiing with his sons. Brian was an avid New England sports fan but most of all cherished time with his sons and his family.

He is survived by his two sons, Zachary R. Merrey and Lucas R. Merrey, of E. Bridgewater and step son, Christopher “CJ” Blunt, of Bridgewater; his five siblings, Douglas J. Merrey, of Gainesville, FL, Linda Wells, of Middleboro, Janet E. Bayard, of Meredith, NH, Gail M. Haile, of Ocala, FL, and Doreen L. Siskin, of Middleboro; and many nieces and nephews.
