Each spring, he eagerly anticipated morel mushroom season, a favorite pastime that combined his love of nature with creating lasting memories alongside family and friends.
Brian especially treasured his role as a grandfather. He loved joking with his grandchildren and giving them a hard time, in the way only a grandpa can. He also shared his love of coin collecting with them, creating special memories and passing along an interest they will always cherish.

He will also be remembered by many extended family members, dear friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He was preceded in death by his son, Derrick; wife, Rohnna; mother, Judy; and nephew, Nicholas.
Brian's kind heart, sense of humor, and appreciation for life's simple pleasures will be deeply missed. His memory will live on through the stories shared by those who loved him, the traditions he passed down, and the countless lives he touched throughout his years.
