Brian David Sorenson

Brian David Sorenson passed away December 2, 2025, surrounded by family, leaving behind a legacy of quiet strength, devotion, and generosity. He will be remembered most for the way he showed up for others—steadily, humbly, and with a warmth that made people feel seen and valued.

Brian grew up with a strong sense of responsibility and an early understanding of the importance of hard work. As a son, brother, father, and husband, he could be counted on in every season of life, whether that meant lending a practical hand, offering calm advice, or using his quick wit to ease difficult moments.

Brian poured himself into both his work and his relationships, believing that integrity mattered as much in daily tasks as in life’s biggest decisions. Colleagues knew him as someone who kept his word, listened carefully, and treated everyone with respect, regardless of their role or background. Friends knew they could call him at any hour and that he would always make time for them. He guided his sons with love and a kind heart, and he shared these gifts with his sons’ friends, leading to the creation of an even larger family circle. He adored his wife Cyndie, and he was at his happiest when she was happy.

Brian worked in aviation maintenance following his graduation from college. He loved cars and racing, which led him to becoming a mechanic on the side. Over time that interest grew into working on family and friends’ cars, which led the family to start Arlington Automotive.

Brian and Cyndie enjoyed annual trips to Lake Hamilton with their three sons, and some “adopted” children, to join cousins and extended family. This treasured tradition eventually led Brian and Cyndie to their dream lake house in retirement, which allowed them to begin making new memories with family and friends.

Whether he was fixing a car for someone or driving his boat on the lake, he approached each day with appreciation and a sense of gratitude. The people who knew him best will remember not only what he did, but how he made them feel: safe, supported, and loved.

Brian’s life cannot be fully captured in a few paragraphs, but his impact lives on in the countless lives he touched. Those who mourn him today honor him by carrying forward his example of kindness, humility, and faith in others. The family encourages acts of generosity in Brian’s memory, such as taking an extra moment to listen to someone who needs to be heard.

Brian is survived by his wife, Cyndie; his sons, Tyler (Megan), Shane (Kenzie), and Evan (Samantha); his granddaughter, Ivy; his mother, Pat; his sister, Kim (Rick), his step-brother, Richard (Cynthia) and his daughter, Emily; his nieces Lauren and Megan (Dante) and great-nephews (Michael and Jackson); his mother-in-law, Betty; and countless other nieces, nephews, and loved ones.

Brian is predeceased by his father, David; and his sister, Shelley.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered every day.
