Brian Vincent Obituary

Brian Andrew Vincent, age 52, passed away on Jan. 10, 2019 after a short hard battle with cancer. He was born May 1, 1966 in Gresham, Oregon.

When he was in high school, his family moved to the Billings area. Brian received a degree in diesel mechanics and worked for H&E Equipment for over 20 years. Last year, he went to work for Master Lube where he had previously worked.

In 1995, he married Lori Christiansen. After a few years, they moved to their home in Laurel. Brian enjoyed camping, fishing, Boy Scouts and spending time with family and friends. The highlight of every year was taking his kids to hunting camp. He had many friends and never forgot a face or name. He would drop everything to help others. Brian had a great sense of humor. Often he would come home from work and tell corny 'Dad jokes'.

Brian was preceded in death by his parents Clara Mae and Michael Vincent, brother James Olson and sister Barbara Fullman.

He is survived by his wife Lori; children Logan and Hannah; and sisters Nanette Chapman, of Oregon City, Oregon and Marlene (Chuck) Fowler of Winlock, Washington.

The family would like to extend special thanks to all the staff at St. Vincent Healthcare and Frontier Cancer Center for their compassionate care. Also, Master Lube has been extremely generous during this time and has set up a GoFundMe account for the family.

Memorial service will be held on Friday Jan. 18, 2019 at 11 a.m. at King of Glory Church in Billings.
