Brian Kugal Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hamlin & Hilbish Funeral Directors on Jan. 8, 2026.
Brian Tracy Kugal, 61, of Sorrento, Florida, passed away on December 29, 2025. Born on October 2, 1964, in Erie, Pennsylvania, Brian lived a life defined by hard work, quiet strength, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.

A proud veteran of the United States Army, Brian carried the values of service and dedication with him throughout his life. After his military service, he built a long career as an insulation installer, a trade he approached with skill and reliability. He was happiest working with his hands and spending time outside, where he felt most at peace.

Brian is survived by his brothers, Chuck Kugal and Melvin Kugal; his sisters, Sharon Purdue and Mary Abbey; and many nieces and nephews who will remember his steady presence and gentle humor. He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Shirley Kugal; his sister, Martha McSwain; and his brother, Herbert Kugal.

Brian will be remembered with love by all who knew him. His family takes comfort in knowing he is reunited with those who passed before him and that his legacy lives on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Brian was very kind and a great sense of humor. He always had a joke to tell or something to poke fun at. He was an animal lover and will be missed by his furry pal Buddy. Rest peacefully Brian, we´ll miss you and that smile!
