Born and raised in Port Huron, Brian attended Port Huron Northern High School graduating in 1979 where he formed lifelong friendships that he treasured. He deeply loved his family, his country, and the great outdoors. He was an enthusiastic fan of the Detroit Lions and Tigers. He was a NASCAR race fan, an avid hunter, loved to fish in lakes and rivers all over Michigan and outdoor recreation of all kinds. We loved his great sense of humor, his hearty and distinct laugh, and his unforgettable bear hugs. Brian loved to cook and grill, always happiest when sharing food with the people he loved. He retired as a proud Union member, a journeyman sheet metal worker with Sheet Metal Workers Local 007. While he traveled often for his job, he loved coming home to his family and his beloved Green Lake for a pontoon ride or to fish. Brian will be remembered for his strong work ethic, quick wit, and the deep love he had for his family and friends. Visitation with the family will be held at K.E.
