Brian Wallingsford

He is survived by his wife, Amy, his son, Luke Wallingsford, and daughter Emily Charbauski, as well as his mother, Donna Routh, and her husband, Jerry, of Republic, Missouri, his sister Karen McDonald, her husband, Stewart, nieces, Baylee and Hyland, and nephew, Case, all of Kosciusko, Mississippi, and niece, Lauryn Lute, of Hardy, Arkansas.

He was proceeded in death by his father, James Wallingsford, and grandparents, Jessie and Hazel Harper.

Brian had a massive group of friends from all over the country, and his friends were family to him.

Brian graduated from Lockwood High School in Missouri and went to pharmacy school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City before going into sales at Pitney Bowes for many years, later joining the Leavitt Group of Colorado.

Fate, God and their angels above brought Brian and Amy together seven-and-a-half years ago, and they were married on Oct. 1 of last year. Earlier this year, Brian had the honor of officially adopting Luke, and he loved every minute of being his dad.

Brian loved many things in life, including sports – especially his Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals and the Oklahoma Sooners – and he got to witness both the Chiefs and Royals winning championships in recent years. He also loved the NBA, poker, winning a parlay bet and throwing darts. He loved a good Jim Beam “stoutie,” kiddie foods, sleeping in, and country music. Brian also loved Elvis, Hank Junior and Senior, sleeveless shirts and movies.

A visitation will be held from 10-11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 16, followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m. at 501 N. Cascade Ave. Colorado Springs, CO 80903. A Reception will be held immediately following at Carefree Bar and Grill, 3535 N. Circle Colorado Springs, CO.
