Brian Pauly Obituary
Brian David Pauly, 57, of Franklin Park, IL passed away on March 30, 2024. Brian was the beloved son of Roger and Janice Pauly, brother to Sandra (Oller), and most importantly, loving father to Ariel Pauly.
Brian was a graduate of West Leyden High School, Northlake IL. For those who remember Brian, they knew of his talents in the world of music. At an early age, Brian established himself in the Chicago rock scene for his incredible guitar playing and unique sound. Brian pursued his music and that free spirit had him playing in bands from Los Angeles to New York City. Through his music, Brian created a supportive and tight knit group of friends that were extremely important in his life.
Brian was a dreamer with a creative mind. However, his passion for music would come second to the love he had for Ariel and for being a father.
