Dr. Brian Lauzon, 65, dies

Columbus, OH — Brian “Doc” James Lauzon, DVM, 65, of Factoryville, Pa., a well-known veterinarian, died Nov. 1, 2021.

Born on Sept. 29, 1956, and raised in Windsor, Ontario, he was the son of the late Donald Joseph and Barbara Helen (Weaver) Lauzon. With his lifelong passion for helping and caring for others, especially animals, he earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Guelph.

A renowned veterinarian, his specialty and passion was caring for race horses which led his career path to numerous locations from Windsor to New York to Florida. He settled in Factoryville in 2007 after purchasing a horse farm, to both raise and care for horses for his family and in the surrounding community.
