Brian passed away unexpectedly and will be missed deeply by his family and friends. Brian graduated from Rocky River High School in 1981 and attended The University of Toledo where he studied law enforcement. After college, Brian worked at the Cleveland Yacht Club as Harbor Master where he met the love of his life and wife of 36 years, Beth. Together, Brian and Beth raised four children who are equally as devoted to their families as Brian was. Brian and Beth enjoyed watching their family grow in recent years as three grandchildren were welcomed into their lives. Whether you knew Brian for years or met him recently, the pride and love he had for his children and grandchildren was apparent.
Known for his endless pranks and mischief, those left to mourn Brian will also remember him for his quiet but unwavering support and love. He was always ready for a party whether it was the annual Hill Christmas Eve party, a barbeque with the neighbors, or simply a beer and a fire with his friends. You could always count on Brian for a good laugh or a nostalgic trip down memory lane. He loved to fish and particularly loved to take his children fishing where he could bond with them over his favorite pastime. He was an avid Cleveland and Ohio State Buckeyes fan. Brian will ultimately be remembered for his willingness to help relatives and friends, his phone calls just to see “what’s up,” and his deep devotion to his family.
