Brian Daniel Champlin, 37, passed away on June 23, 2025. He was born in Brookhaven, NY on June 16, 1988. Brian loved all sports, but especially football. He was a big New York Giants fan. Brian was also a comedian, he had a quick wit and could make you laugh in a minute. His bigger than life personality and sense of humor will be so greatly missed. Brian also loved to fish and would take any opportunity to do so. He was a carpenter and mechanic by trade.
Brian is preceded in death by his grandmother Linda and his younger brother, Gerrit.
He leaves behind his mother, Michele Erkan and his two sisters, Krystal and Ashley. He also leaves behind an extended family of aunts, uncles,nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. By Brian leaving, he has left a hole in the hearts of many, but he is with God.
Per his wishes, Brian will be cremated. His ashes will be divided, with half being laid to rest at Sweetwater Memorial Park at a later date and the rest spread at the beach in New York.
