Brian Guagenti Obituary
BRIAN GUAGENTI
COLUMBUS — Brian Alan Guagenti died peacefully on Wednesday November 18th, 2015 at the age of 38 in Columbus, Ohio. His wife Jessica and his family were by his side.
He fought a very aggressive cancer with all his might and with every breath. Throughout his battle he never thought about himself, he only worried about everyone else. Brian was the Manager of Grounds and Transportation at the Columbus Regional Airport. Brian had a great laugh and an infectious personality which always brought a smile to the faces of people around him. He enjoyed sharing stories about his favorite memories and life adventures. Over the past few years, Brian developed a passion for golf and spent much of his free time on the course with his wife, family and friends. Football Sundays were dedicated to watching the Cleveland Browns with his boys.
Brian is survived by his bride and the love of his life, Jessica (McKenney) Guagenti; his three sons Anthony (17), Avery (13) and Vincent (11); his parents Joseph E. and Jennifer (Overholtz) Guagenti; father and mother-in-law Jeffrey and Cynthia McKenney; grandmother Barbara Ann Guagenti; six siblings Joseph W. (Sarah), Jason (Krista), Cristy (Nick), Shelly (Matt), Lori (Drew) and Katie (Tim); brother-in-law Michael (Kathryn); 13 nieces and nephews Alexandra, Caylen, Allison, Alexis, Kendall, Joey, Lillian, Maggie, Eric, Samuel, Ethan, Izzie and Jackson.
Family will receive friends Sunday November 22 from 1-4pm at the MAEDER-QUINT-TIBERI Funeral Home, 1068 S. High St., Columbus, OH 43206. Prayer service 3:45pm. Friends and family will meet for Mass of Christian Burial Monday November 23 at 12:30pm at St. Paul the Apostle Church, 313 N.
