Brian Louis Dwyer, age 69, of Pittsford, NY passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday March 8, 2023. He was born on November 4, 1953 in Rochester, NY.
Predeceased by his parents, Louis and Agnes (Walsh) Dwyer; brothers Timothy and Thomas Dwyer, and twin sister Barbra Dwyer Eriss. He is survived by his loving wife of over 45 years, Maureen (Brennan) Dwyer; daughter Elizabeth (Alessio) DeIuliis; son Andrew (Jenelle) Dwyer; grandchildren Grace, Enzo, Lucy and Laney; beloved pup, Addie; sister Sheila (Paul) Knipper; brothers Terry (Nancy) Dwyer and Kevin (Laura) Dwyer; numerous extended family members including brothers and sisters-in law, cousins, nieces, nephews and many, many dear friends.
After attending McQuaid Jesuit Highschool, Brian attended Wheeling Jesuit College and graduated in 1975. He began his banking career at Chase Lincoln and retired from M & T Bank in 2016. He served on the board of countless non- profits organizations throughout the Rochester community. Outside of his business career, Brian enjoyed life's simple pleasures; a rare steak, a nice cigar, a cold drink, the Buffalo Bills and storytelling with family and friends. He was an avid golfer and a member of Oak Hill Country Club for over 47 years, where he cherished a lot of friendships and late-night euchre games.
Spirituality was also a very important part of Brian's life. He was a firm believer that for those to whom much is given, much is required. Brian lived his life that way. He was always so mindful of his abundant blessings and generously shared his faith, time and talent.
Family and friends may call at Miller Funeral & Cremation Services, Inc. at 3325 S Winton Rd, Rochester, NY 14623 Monday March 13 4-7 PM. A mass will be celebrated at 11 AM on Tuesday March 14 at St Jerome's Church in East Rochester.

I worked with Brian at Lincoln First. I´ll begin the training program and he worked with a number of us to help us assimilate from college life to the work life. He always had time for each one of us and was a terrific friend for many years. He´s greatly missed. God bless you and your family.

I played against Brian in high school in the nascent stages of the East-McQuaid basketball rivalry. Later we played against each other in the banker's basketball league. After the games when would go to Checko's in ER to play euchre and replenish fluids lost from playing basketball.

I remember having sausages in the wintertime at his cabin. A major highlight was going to the Carrier Dome to watch Georgia upset Jordan and North Carolina.

Brian was a mensch and a kind-hearted gentleman. I am truly sorry for your family's loss.

We have a lifetime of memories of Brian, from the time he and Barbara first graced the Dwyer family.  We always looked forward to celebrating holidays with the Dwyers!  They were all so much fun to be around and were always doing something interesting.

One of our favorite memories of Brian was his awesome award-winning tenure as the volunteer leader of the Brighton, New York Youth Agency's Sports Program where he mentored scores of grateful high school students. This was just a prelude (He was only 18) to all the many things he did for others without any recompense throughout his entire life. 

Another was just one example of his awesomeness as a father when he brought his son Andy, one summer, to Dallas to work for the Dallas Cowboys.   It was hard to tell who was more excited about the job, Andy or Brian! Andy's boss just told us that his witness of Brian's love for his son inspired him to devote more time to his family.

Brian was an inspiration to us all with his ever-present faith and how he managed to always see the best in the situation or in the person.
  
We love you Brian,
Bob and Flo
