Brian George Turpyn

Brian loved the outdoors, was an avid nature enthusiast, enjoyed animals, and was particularly fond of dogs. He had extensive gardens and had his property certified as a wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. He also enjoyed cooking and was best known for his homemade applesauce, French onion soup, relish, and many other family favorites. Always charismatic and quick with a joke, Brian’s company was enjoyed by all and will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his loving wife, Ann Clark Howard Turpyn; two daughters, Abigail Peairs (Dan) and Catherine Kawmy (Rashad); mother, Constance Turpyn; brother, Richard Turpyn (Barbara); sister, Anne Ford (David); five grandchildren, Alex, Owen, and Madeline Peairs, Karim George and Evan Kawmy; and numerous nieces and nephews.

All services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in his name to Summit Presbyterian Church in Stafford VA or the Smithsonian National Zoo.
