Brian Landsman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by McHoul Funeral Home, Inc. - Hopewell Junction on Jan. 20, 2026.
Brian Howard Landsman passed away on January 14, 2026 at Westchester Medical Center. He was 58 years old. Brian was born in Poughkeepsie, New York on June 13, 1967 to the late Joseph and Marion (Zelsberg) Landsman. On June 17, 2024 he married his loving wife Carolyn Pagano-Landsman.

Brian worked as CFO of the Children's Home of Kingston, a job he truly enjoyed. In his spare time, he loved to go fishing, golfing, and antique shopping. He taught himself to play guitar. He enjoyed watching horse races, playing chess, drawing portraits and cooking delicious meals for his wife and step-son. His most beloved trait was his love of cats and dogs. He could often be found on the floor with them, playing and snuggling.

Brian is survived by his wife Carolyn Pagano-Landsman; his daughter Celia Landsman; his sons Brandon and Ryan Pagano; his brother Steven Cohen; his brother in law and sister in law Jeremiah and Lisa Coyle; and his beloved pets Bessa and Selena.

In addition to his parents, Brian was predeceased by his sister-in-law Jody Rosann Sporn; and his cherished furry companion Max.
