Brian was born November 7, 1969, to Alvin and Elaine (Haak) Atkins in Kellogg, Idaho, a small mining town known as the Silver Valley. During his youth, he lived in California, Washington, Connecticut and Montana. Brian graduated from Eastern University in Cheney, Washington.
After graduating from college, Brian moved to the great state of Texas. He owned APM Contracting Services, a paving and asphalt company, for many years in the Odessa, Midland area.
Brian will be remembered for his love of hunting and fishing. A group of great friends would always be with him fishing for salmon on the Kenai River in Soldotna, Alaska, or hunting for deer in Voss, Texas. His laughter and joking nature will be missed by all who knew him.
Brian is survived by his mother, Elaine Pagliaroli of Odessa; sister, Cherylanne Wirth of Post Falls, Idaho; a very special niece, Hazel Wirth of Denver, Colorado; and several aunts and uncles.
Services will be held at a later date in Pinehurst, Idaho.
