Brian Anthony Schwaller, age 33, passed away January 28, 2024. Brian is survived by his son Ryan; sister, Connie Sterkowitz; nieces, Brooke and Camryn Sterkowitz and Trysta Wawro; nephews, Tyler Jett and Joseph Wawro; many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Schwaller; brother, Joe Wawro; and maternal grandparents, James and Catherine Reed.
Brian loved spending time with his son, Ryan and his family and friends. He had a passion for fishing. In the summer, he could always be found out at the lake or at night, around the fire pit. Brian added joy and lit up a room wherever he went. Everyone will agree there was never a dull moment when Brian was around. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and love him.

Brian would come by a couple times a week after work and often on a weekend. He would sit with Scott in the garage or outside, depending on the weather. Most recent the visit would include the new neighbor, Dave, who also became a friend to all. And the debate would begin...how to navigate and tackle a new project around the house or how to repair something on a vehicle. If you might imagine, the conversation would go off topic frequently. The debate, the banter, may take days or weeks before any of them would begin to actually do any work. Eventually they would focus on the task at hand and complete the project. A most important thing they built during discussion and banter was a strong bond and friendship.
Forever grateful for Brian's help and friendship. Linda
