Dr Brian Patrick Coghlan
Brian passed away peacefully on Sunday, 29th June, 2025, at Stepping Hill Hospital after a short illness. He was the much-loved husband of Anne; devoted father to Michael, James, Brian Thomas, Anne Clare, Johnny, and Mary; and grandfather to 16 beloved grandchildren.
Brian was a highly respected GP, looking after patients in Woodley for 40 years. A devoted squash player and fan of Manchester City, he was also a committed Catholic attending mass at St Vincent’s church twice each week. He treated his family and many friends with complete generosity, humour, kindness, and love.
