Brian graduated from Douglas MacArthur High School in 1990. Soon afterwards he followed in the footsteps of his father and became a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 716 and worked at Fisk Electric for 29 years. He later joined the United Steelworkers union for 3 years when he took a position at Shell Oil. His dedication to the craft and the "old school" knowledge passed on to him by his dad as well as his professional mentors made him a highly sought-after electrician. Brian touched the professional lives of countless others with the knowledge he passed on to them over the years.
In 2016, Brian and Angel became members of The Light Church in Willis where Brian served on the parking lot team. He loved going to church and the people he met there. They were his second family. He was a lifelong fan of the Astros, Oilers, Texans and Longhorns and grew up going to games at "the Dome" with his dad, brother and friends. If you were a fan of another team, that was OK, he liked you anyway. Like his mom, he was a huge Elvis fan and even visited Graceland in 2018. He had many friends over the years, some who were so close to him that they are considered family. He was a loving husband and father, a wonderful son, a true friend and the best brother you could ever ask for. If you were lucky enough to know Brian, you know that he will be dearly missed. You also know that you will never forget him. He was truly one of a kind.
