Brian Rush Giddens, age 52, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Sanger, Texas.
Born on April 16, 1973, in Shreveport, Louisiana, Brian was a true outdoorsman, a passionate cook, and someone who never met a stranger and had enormous love for his family. He is survived by his wife, Bendy Giddens, and their daughter, Lauren Giddens, who was the light of his life. He is also survived by his parents, Linda Neubig and Robert Giddens; his siblings Michael Giddens, Kurt Neubig, and Robert (Robbie) Giddens; and his stepmother, Mary Giddens. He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Henry Neubig.
Brian earned a degree in Printing Technology from Danville Community College and built a successful 24-year career as a regional manager and technical sales representative for Kiwo. Known for his strong work ethic and integrity, he was respected by colleagues and clients alike.
In his 20s, Brian spent countless hours at Departure Bikes, a Harley shop run by his close friend Travis Clemens, who passed away years ago. Though he didn’t officially work there, Brian was always around working on his bike, helping out, or just being part of the scene. We'd like to believe that somewhere out there, Brian and Travis are back in the garage together, trading stories and firing up engines like old times.
Whether he was duck hunting at sunrise, fishing, cruising on his Harley, or cooking up a big batch of Louisiana food, Brian was in his element. He loved live music, good company, and sharing stories and laughter at any social gathering. If there was music, a grill, or a group of friends nearby, Brian was right where he belonged.
Per his wishes, Brian will be cremated. His life will be celebrated privately by family and friends at a future date.
