Brian Keith Colburn, 59, of Cordova, went home to be with God on June 7, 2025.
Brian was truly one of a kind. He was the best husband and father he could be. He loved his family. His favorite thing was spending time with them. From football games and color guard competitions with his daughter to working in the shop with his boys is what made him happy. Anyone who met him saw his kind heart and love of helping others and he never met a stranger. He was an avid lover and collector of Harley motorcycles. He and his wife spent the past 20 years working from home together and was very proud to be a vendor at Jasper Pickers and Vintage Trading Post/JP2. Brian was a member of Awakening Life Church in Curry. He was previously employed as a restaurant equipment technician at TSSI and an underground drill operator at Cobb Underground. Brian was a US army Veteran also.
Brian is preceded in death by his parents, Levi and Mary Alice Colburn, and his brother Ronald (Bubba) Colburn.
Left to cherish Brian's memory include his wife, Junel Colburn; daughter, Savannah Colburn; sons, Levi Colburn and Dylan (Christine) Colburn; brothers, Edward Farron (Darlene) Colburn, Charles Darin (Linda Murphy) Colburn, Jerry (Karen) Colburn, and Terry Wayne (Rene) Colburn; as well as host of nieces, nephews, step-children, and grandchildren whom he adored.
A Celebration of Brian's life will be held at a later date.
