Brian Baucum Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 14, 2025.
Brian Curtis Baucum, 44, passed away June 5th, 2025 in San Diego, California. Born January 13th, 1981 in Corpus Christi, Texas, Brian was a joyful personality beloved by all who knew him. Raised in Portland, Texas, he attended Gregory-Portland High School and graduated in 1999. He went on to attend Texas State University where he graduated with a degree in Kinesiology in 2005. Brian spent the last 10 years of his life living in San Diego working in communications and raising his young children. Brian loved the ocean, surfing, traveling and spending as much time with friends and family as he could. His infectious laugh and love for life will live on in our many memories of him.

Brian is survived by his parents, John and Karon Baucum, his former wife Erin Baucum, his children Aiden John and Grace Elizabeth, his brother, Darryl Baucum, his sister Courtney Baucum Duesing, his grandmother Mildred Sharp, and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

To honor Brian's life and legacy, a Celebration of Life will take place in Rockport, Texas. Details will be shared in time. The family would like to express their sincerest thanks to their community of lifelong friends for the outpouring of love and condolences.

Love does not die with death. Brian had such a big heart that brought me so much happiness the past 2 1/2 years. Deeply miss him already.

Brian was a huge part of our lives over the last 10 years and our kids. He left lasting impressions on everyone he met. He was such an amazing dad and adored and loved his kids. I will miss his smile, laugh and vibrant personality. He is so incredibly missed and will never be forgotten. He is so loved and miss seeing him on the daily. I'm so thankful for the times we've had with him and his incredible knack for making the best ribs I've ever had. He had a heart of gold
