Brian dedicated many years of his life to working at O-I Glass, where he was known for his commitment and easy-going nature.

One of his favorite traditions was the yearly salmon fishing trip he took up north, an event he eagerly anticipated each year. He also enjoyed playing Keno on Thursday afternoons with his best friend, Randy Grundstrom.

Family was of utmost importance to Brian. He cherished his time with his wife, Carla, and he adored his sons, Tom and Andy. His grandson, Vincent, held a special place in his heart as well.

Brian is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Carla; his sons Tom Wilmore, Andy (Rylie) Wilmore; his grandson Vincent Wilmore; his parents, Clare and Joyce Wilmore; his siblings, Ilene (Garth) Matonis, Neal (Kim) Wilmore, Wendy (Jim Martin) Wilmore, and Laurel Wilmore.
