Edit: I got downvoted because some people don’t understand family trees. So imagine this if you will.
My dad’s sister is named Pam. Pam is my aunt. Pam is married to Ron, so Ron is my uncle. Ron has a brother named Jeff. Jeff is not my uncle and is not related to me, except sorta kinda through marriage.
Jeff is my uncle’s brother. But he is not my uncle.
That’s exactly how it works so sorry for the confusion a better way to say it was probably uncle IN LAWS brother. I’ve simply never referred to him that way, only uncle Marshall. I didn’t recognize the confusion in the OP until I checked the comment section.
It’s not confusing at all, and actually just saying “my uncle’s brother” is fine. Maybe some people don’t have an “uncle’s brother” through marriage. Anyway, I’m sorry your family is going through this. Honestly I’m sure my family will too, as most of the elders are choosing to take this vaccine. Be well. I’m sorry for your loss.
Your uncle's brother is another uncle.
Not if he’s an uncle by marriage.
