Brian enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He loved music, sports, boating, fishing, motorcycling, camping, bicycling, reading, and gathering with friends.

He was the pillar of strength and wisdom for his family and friends. He was well read and analytical. He was always willing to share his knowledge and help loved ones thru life situations in a calm and collected manner.

He had a successful career in Municipal water treatment equipment sales. He made many lifelong friends and colleagues along the way during his fulfilling work life. He retired in 2017 and enjoyed traveling and camping with friends and family. During retirement he worked vigorously navigating his healthcare after being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2016. He did a lot of research, consulted with many doctors, and attended support groups. He fought extremely hard and endured a lot of adversity through many procedures. He never gave up, but ultimately, he was unable to overcome the cardiac amyloidosis.

He will be deeply missed. May his loved ones honor his legacy of strength and wisdom by implementing the memories into positive progress.

In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Brian’s favorite radio station WMNF 88.5 or the Amyloidosis Support Groups Foundation in his honor.
