Wade- Brian Marchant, 64, passed away on November 18, 2025. He was born in Barnstable, MA on December 8, 1960, the son of Allan and Sandra (Cottle) Marchant.
Brian proudly served his country in the United States Navy, an experience that shaped his character and instilled in him the values of discipline, loyalty, and perseverance.
After his military service, Brian found his true calling in education. For 20 years, he taught high school automotive students, sharing not only his technical knowledge but also his patience, humor, and belief in his students' potential. His classroom became a place of learning, encouragement, and meaningful connections.
Brian was preceded by his parents and his brother, Scott Marchant.
He is survived by his children-Ashley Marchant, Troy Marchant, and Grace Mello-and by his four cherished grandchildren, who brought tremendous joy to his life. Brian is also survived by several close friends.
Brian will be remembered for his generosity, his quiet strength, and the unwavering love he held for his family.
