Wiese, Brian Douglas, age 37, passed suddenly on Monday, December 16, 2024. Brian is survived by his beloved wife, Sarah; his adoring son, Hayden (9 months); his parents, Ron and Jan Wiese; his mother-in-law, Cindy Whitman; his brothers, Eric (Rashi) Wiese and Matt (Caressa) Wiese; his sister, Olivia (Cameron) Hill; his brothers-in-law, Bryan and Eric Whitman; his nieces, Asara Wiese and Kinsley Hill; his nephew, Michael Hill; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.
Brian received his degree in Flight Sciences from Saint Louis University. He was a licensed pilot and avid lover of anything related to airplanes. Always one to find a new hobby, he loved Star Wars, sci-fi, gaming, and 3-D modeling to name a few. If you ever needed a random tool or gadget, he would be the first one to pull something out of his pocket. Sarah used to tease him about the amount of stuff he would bring everywhere...until she quickly learned how often those silly gadgets came in handy.
Brian and Sarah met in 2019. As cliche as it sounds, after their first date they both knew they had found "the one." They bought their first house together in April 2021, got engaged in May 2022, and were married in a perfect ceremony on October 21, 2023. Brian was an excellent fur dad to their shared pets: Jake, George, Daisy, and Binx.
The absolute highlight of their relationship came when they welcomed their son, Hayden, on March 5, 2024. Brian was a loving father who adored Hayden more than anything in the world. The very best parts of him will live on through his son.
"The Force will be with you, always."

I regret not knowing Brian more but every Laclede's Lan event he was at I'm not sure I ever saw him without a camera in front of him. Thanks for capturing the memories!
