On August 4, 2024, the world lost a remarkable soul as Brian (Roly) Griffin passed away in Corinth, Mississippi. Born on January 12, 1979, in Selmer, TN to Patricia McKee Griffin and the late Roger Dale Griffin.

Brian's work as a supervisor at ACS Engineered Solutions in Henderson, TN showcased his strong work ethic that inspired those around him. Even amidst his own battles with treatments, Brian seldom missed a day of work. He was a member  at the Meeks Grove Free Will Baptist church in Stantonville, TN. As President of Woodman Life, Chapter 78, he exemplified leadership and service.

Beyond his professional and community roles, Brian found joy in simple pleasures - fishing, 4-wheeling, trucks, and building his impressive collection of model cars. 

At 45 years old, Brian leaves behind a legacy of love and strength. He is survived by his wife, Bianca Frankito Griffin of Selmer, TN; son, Brantley Griffin of Selmer, TN; daughter, Brianna Griffin of Selmer, TN; grandson, Ryder Griffin; mother, Patricia Griffin of Selmer, TN; a brother, Shane Griffin and wife Megan of Selmer, TN; step daughter, Jaelyn Banks of Savannah, TN; stepson, Karlile Jackson of Savannah, TN; close friend, Jay English and wife Lisa of Michie, TN; and a host of extended family and friends.
