Brian Reilly Obituary
Born on December 26, 1982, in Camden, Brian was a lifelong resident of Cherry Hill and lived life marked by dedication, humor, and a deep love for those around him. He was a graduate of Cherry Hill High School West and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Stockton University in Galloway, New Jersey. A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Brian served from 2000 to 2012 as a Security Forces Craftsman obtaining the rank of Staff Sergeant. During his service, he participated in Operation Noble Eagle and Operation Enduring Freedom, demonstrating unwavering commitment to his country. His years in the military shaped his character and instilled in him a sense of duty that remained with him throughout his life.
Beyond his service, Brian found joy in cooking and had a passion for comedy. His quick wit and ability to bring laughter to any situation were cherished by those who knew him. He also had a deep love for animals, especially his beloved pets-Kody, Belle, and Oliver-and held a special fondness for horses.
Brian is survived by his father, Charles Reilly; his brothers Shawn (Vanessa) Reilly and Michael (Becky) Reilly; his sister Shannon; his aunt Sharon Kilroy; his aunt and uncle Pat and John Sentman; his aunt Patti Werner; his aunt and uncle Janet and Rick Buhalo; his nephews Ryan, Matthew, and Maverick, nieces Addie and Amelia; and his cousins Jacquelyn, Ricky, John, Tricia, Mike, Matthew, and Mackenzie. He also shared a close bond with Laila and Nash, whom he affectionately considered his niece and nephew. He was predeceased by his mother, Phyllis, and his cousin Shane.

Some of my best times in the Air Force were moments spent with Brian and his twin brother Shawn on the job. We constantly cracked jokes, and annoyed the hell out of leadership. We may or may not have been in the commanders office at one point to be dressed down as hooligan Airmen, but I assure you, it was the leadership that sucked! I ran into Brian a few times later on, and I wish we had stayed in better touch. He was a great guy.
