Brian Nettleton Obituary
Pocahontas - Brian Douglas Nettleton passed away on July 29, 2025, in Pocahontas, IL, at the age of 67.
Born on March 22, 1958, Brian was the son of Bill and Judy Nettleton. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy for four years aboard the USS Suribachi.
Brian was a man of few words but deep commitment. He was known for always being there when needed, whether it was fixing a car or handling repairs around the house. His quiet strength and unwavering support left a lasting impression on those around him.
He is survived by his mother, Judy Nettleton; his sister, Jill; and his three sons: Shane, Steven, and Michael. Brian also leaves behind two grandsons; nine granddaughters; four great-grandsons; and one great-granddaughter.
Brian's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to those he held dear.
