Publish in a newspaper
Brian Kilstrom, age 80, passed away on March 25, 2024. Brian was born on April 7, 1943 in Aberdeen, South Dakota. His family moved to Seattle, Washington where he spent his childhood and teenage years. After graduating high school, Brian attended Brigham Young University for one year and then returned home to marry his high school sweetheart. Brian worked as a relay electrician for Seattle City Light and Snohomish County PUD. Throughout his career, he was known for his hard work, dedication, and attention to detail. Brian loved being outside working in the yard and gardening, as well as tinkering or fixing almost anything. Brian was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and spent most of his time in the service of others.
Brian was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and friend. More than anything, Brian loved spending time with his family teaching them new skills, playing games, playing outside with his grandkids, and laughing together. Brian was always there to offer love, support, and encouragement to all. Brian is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, RaeDell, his children Roger Kilstrom (Julie), Derek Kilstrom (Julz), Boni Fredericks (Barry), Ryan Kilstrom (Jenn), SherRae Lewis (Aaron), Robyn Dorsey (Keith), his grandchildren Justin, Tyson (Jennifer), Brandon (Kensie), Karsyn, Kannen, Courtney, Hallie, Cole, Lexi, Rachel, Trent, Travis, Dilan (Micaela), Megan (Davis), Atwood, Kendall, Brevin (Ana), Brynn, Brooklyn, and his great-grandchildren Zoey, and Elliana. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
