Brian Bander Obituary
Brian was the beloved son of Jeffrey Bander and Carin Buckman, and stepson of Ron Buckman. In addition to his parents, he was loved and is survived by his brothers Jason and Brien Buckman; grandparents Art and Gail Siegel, and Sylvia Bander; as well as many relatives and friends.
Brian attended grade school in Tolland and graduated from Glastonbury High School in 2011. He attended the University of Hartford, Manchester Community College, and the University of South Florida. Brian was an entrepreneur who developed multiple successful e-commerce businesses while living in Connecticut and in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He was a personal growth, online gaming, mountain biking, drumming, Magic: The Gathering, and pingpong enthusiast who wasn't afraid to take risks and live life to the fullest. Brian's family has no words to express their sadness and grief, but Brian left many at www.brianbander.com
A memorial service to celebrate Brian's life will be held on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 12:30 p.m. at Beth El Temple, 2626 Albany Avenue, West Hartford.
The family will receive relatives and friends at Carin Buckman's home in West Hartford, from 4 to 8 p.m., with evening services at 7 p.m.

Dear Jeff, Carin and family,
We are heartbroken for you and saddened to hear of all of Brian's health issues. We will always remember the little boy who came to our house on Chapman Drive to ask if our daughter Alex could come out to play. May your memories bring comfort in time.

What a beautiful message Brian left for those who know and loved him. He seems so very selfless in taking the time to help others who know him and didn't to understand his brave life. I didn't know Brian but after reading all he had to say I wish I did. Thanks to those who followed his wishes.
