Brian was a gifted storyteller with a story to match every occasion and was known for making friends everywhere he went.

He loved the outdoors, whether it was gardening at home, hunting on the back 40, or golfing with his friends and children. He had a passion for many hobbies including comics, the guitar, preparing food with his smoker, or just sitting by the fire. Brian was an exceptionally hard working family man who was so proud, and supportive of his kids. He will be dearly missed by all his family and friends.
