Brian Gaddis Obituary
Brian was a service technician for QSI in the banking sector, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to his work and colleagues. His dedication was not confined to work alone. Brian was a proud former chairman of the Boy Scouts Troup 347 and a member of the Order of the Arrow. His hobbies were a testament to his vibrant spirit and love for the outdoors. He enjoyed camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and bushcraft. His Harley was a symbol of his free spirit, and he cherished the time he spent riding it. An avid lover of electronics, Brian enjoyed tinkering in his garage. However, what mattered most to Brian was his family, and he treasured every moment spent with his loved ones.
