On Tuesday, April 30, 2024, Brian Griggs, a loving son and father of 2 children and papaw, passed away at age 60.

Brian was born on September 10, 1963 in Crawfordsville, IN to Douglas and Nancy (Myers) Griggs. He graduated from Southmont High School in 1982 and attended Indiana State University in Terre Haute, where he studied communications.

He loved spending time with his family and was guaranteed to be the most ornery one at any gathering. He loved all things sports. He was an avid fan of the Indiana Pacers, Fever, Notre Dame, and Dallas Cowboys. His passion was tracking each of the teams wins/losses and all major stats. In his spare time he would play video games and loved simulation/ civilization building games.

He was preceded in death by his father, Doug, and his aunt, Janet McKinney. He is survived by his mother, Nancy; uncle, Laren; brother, Jeff (Margaret); his two children, Alan and Courtney; his grandchildren, Liam and Asher; several cousins and nephews; and his niece.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2024 from 2pm until the time of the service at 4pm at Sanders Priebe Funeral Care, 315 S Washington Street in Crawfordsville. Cremation will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the funeral home to assist with funeral expenses.
