Brian Triest Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A graduate of Oxford High School, Brian dedicated many years to managing his family's Sunoco Gas Station in Oxford. He also spent four years living in beautiful Hawaii before returning to his hometown.
Brian had a deep love for cats and supported numerous animal charities in hopes of making a difference. He also enjoyed attending concerts at Pine Knob Music Theatre with friends and family, creating many cherished memories.
Brian is survived by his loving parents, Edmund and Isabel Triest; his sister, Ann Marie (David) Wilkins; his brother, Eddie (Linda Liphardt) Triest; his nephew, Joseph Wilkins; his niece, Elizabeth Wilkins; his dear cat, Prince; and many extended family members and friends.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, and his family takes comfort in knowing he is now at peace.
Arrangements for cremation have been entrusted to Lynch & Sons Funeral Directors – Bossardet Chapel in Oxford. A private Celebration of Life will be held this September.
