Brian was born on August 3, 1967, in Aurora, IL to Duane Sr and Juanita. He graduated from Hickman Mills High School in 1985. He married Jackie in 1990, and they welcomed three children into their home.
His children remember him as a good man with a kind heart and the greatest smile in the world. He was always there with a story, a joke, or a good laugh when they needed it. Brian was passionate about his family, movies, music, and creating more smiles in every room. He was a kind, generous man, and a strong, loving father. In Brian’s world, there was always room for one more – in his home, at his table, in his heart.
