Brian Lacy Obituary
Born May 22, 1953 in Oakland, CA to Charles and Betty Lacy, he leaves behind his beloved wife, Roberta Lacy, whom he deeply loved for 50 years. He is survived by four beautiful daughters, Desra (Frank) Lacy Heller, Athina (Jim) Lacy Osmuss, Melanie (Dave) Lacy Kusters, and Jessica (Gregg) Lacy, and five wonderful grandchildren, Breeana and Madelline Beckham, Ava Halka, and Archer and Maven Lacy Kusters. He is also survived by a sister Charlayne and brothers Leroy and Daniel. He was preceded in death by his parents, twin brother Allan, brother Jeff, sister Shannon, and son-in-law Gregory Beckham.
Brian loved going for walks with his pet dog Woofie, football, fishing, World War II history, attending Pub Trivia nights, and boxing classes at the Power of Parkinson's. An avid music lover, he loved listening to jazz music and was privileged to call Tuck & Patti, an American Jazz duo, his friends. Their music taught him that Love Is The Key.
There will be a private Celebration of Life for the family in the coming days.
Brian was also a kidney cancer survivor. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Brian's memory to the Kidney Cancer Association of America or a The Parkinson's Foundation fighting to find a cure.

You and your family just swooped into my thinking today, so I tried to find any of you on Facebook. Not to be. Next thing I did was googled "Brian and Roberta Lacy" and your obituary came up. I was shocked. I am so sorry that we all got separated a long time ago. I remember going to San Francisco to see Tuck and Patti with you and Roberta. We had some good talks and Tina was a connection. I am happy to see that all the girls are partnered and that you had grands. You led a good life, Brian. I am sad that I cannot say anything more to you in person. Love to all the Lacy Family.
