Brian Christopher Finn, 68, of Winthrop, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on September 22, 2025, surrounded by his devoted wife, and beloved daughter and son.

Brian was born on April 26, 1957, in Boston Massachusetts. He was raised in East Boston along with his two brothers. He was educated in Boston Public Schools and was an alumnus of Boston Technical High School Class of 1975. Brian became a Teamster Local #25 with Airborne Express and later DHL. His career spanned over 20 years before he retired.

Brian married his best friend Judith (Andreason) on April 20, 1985. The couple then moved to Winthrop in 1988, where they began their family together, having two children. Brian was a family man through and through. His life revolved around his family.

Brian was an athlete in high school and beyond. He enjoyed playing many sports, coaching and refereeing. He was a Hockey Guru, it was truly his favorite sport and he knew every detail, player and stat. Brian was also a history buff and enjoyed learning new things and events.

Later in life, Brian's greatest pride and joy were his grandkids. He acquired the nickname of "Beep Beep" from his oldest grandchild which stuck with everyone. He loved nothing more than spending quality time with them whether it was on vacation, hosting a pool day, watching them play sports, going for long walks, surprising them with donuts, hugs, or his daily face time phone calls to ask them how their day went. Nothing put a bigger smile on his face than getting to spend quality time with them.

Brian is the beloved husband of 40 years to Judith l. (Andreason) of Winthrop. The loving father of Meaghan L. Stone and husband Ryan of Hanover, MA and Christopher B. Finn and wife Nicole of Lynnfield, MA. The treasured grandfather of Callum, Cameran, Christian, Riley and Henry. The devoted son of the late Edwin M. Finn and Catherine C. "Peggy" (Flaherty) Finn. The cherished brother of Ret. Boston police St. Det. Kevin P. Finn and Wife Renee of Winthrop and the late James M. Finn. Also lovingly survived by his nieces and nephews, Kevin Finn and wife Jessica of N. Andover, Janelle Cunningham and husband Ryan of Nashua, NH and Caitin Cleary of Winthrop, MA. Brian will also be deeply missed by his many brothers and sisters-in-law as well as numerous nieces and nephews on the Andreason side of the family.

Brian Christopher Finn lived a life defined by love, family, and friendship. He will be profoundly missed, but will always be remembered as a good man with a huge heart.
