Brian Leslie Folis
Age 45, of Arlington, Tennessee, passed away on September 16, 2025, in Memphis, Tennessee.
Brian will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He is survived by his wife and best friend, Denise “Dusty” Folis; his children, Hayden and Haylee, who were the pride and joy of his life; his parents, Sylvia and Phillip Folis; his brother, Paul Folis; and his niece and nephew, Diana and Viktor Folis.
For more than 20 years, Brian worked as an electrician with Hall Electric. He took great pride in his work and in helping others, and he built lasting friendships along the way. Outside of work, Brian loved being outdoors, tackling new challenges, and working with his hands. Above all, he enjoyed being with people—sharing stories, laughter, and time together.
A visitation for Brian will be held Thursday morning, September 25, 2025, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Peebles West Funeral Chapel in Oakland, followed by a service at 11 a.m. at the chapel. Interment will be private.
