Brian V. Appleman of Cherry Hill, NJ died September 22, 2025. Age 63. Beloved husband of 36 years to Deborah (nee Brawley). Loving father of Steven Appleman (Lauren); Thomas Appleman and Scott Appleman. Dear brother of Brady Appleman (Mary Lynn) and Kim Licata (John) brother-in-law David Brawley (Cathrine), Kevin Brawley (Nancy) and Scott Brawley.

Retired after 25 years of dedicated service to the Cherry Hill Fire Department (CHFD). After retirement he continued to support his community thru his work with Gift of Life. His passions in life included family, friends, his beloved pets, the great outdoors, roaring campfires (if you know, you know!), numerous big splash championships, and his love of God and country, all with the spirit of a cowboy. He will forever be missed by all that knew him with a big smile and even bigger hug.

Relatives and friends will gather Saturday 10:30am to 12:30pm in The Schetter Funeral Home, 304 W. Marlton Pike, Cherry Hill, NJ. Funeral service Saturday 12:30pm. Interment private. In lieu of flowers, donations in Brian's memory may be made to Gift of Life, 401 N. 3rd St. Philadelphia, PA. 19123.
