Brian M. Calnan, beloved husband of Katherine (Kit) Calnan died suddenly on November, 11, 2023. Brian was born in Lynn, MA and was a graduate of St. Mary’s High School ’74 and Suffolk University ’79. Brian and Kit made their home in Londonderry, NH and resided there for almost 35 years before re-locating to Cross Junction, VA.

Brian worked as an Executive with Axcelis Technololgies in Beverly, MA. He retired in 2020 and moved to Cross Junction to be closer to his daughter Stacy and her family. Brian enjoyed the last few years in the company of his beloved grandchildren, Rowan and Conrad. He spent many days with them on Lake Holiday. He was captain of his pontoon boat and happiest spending his days fishing and treating his family and friends to a day on the Lake. Brian was a voracious reader and history buff. He was grateful that he had the opportunity to visit many historical sites from his new home in Virginia.

Brian leaves his loving wife Kit, his beloved daughter Stacy Buono and her husband Louis and his pride and joy, grandchildren Rowan and Conrad. He was pre-deceased by his parents, William and Mary Calnan and his in-laws, John and Esther Hughes. Brian leaves his siblings Kevin (Keleigh), Mary Ann, John, Billy (Jill) and Carmel and their children. He leaves a multitude of aunts, uncles and cousins from the Calnan family. He also leaves his sister in-law Carol Howe (James) and brother in-law Larry Hughes (Sarah) and their children and many cousins from the Hughes family.

Services for Brian will be at a later date.
