His parents, James J. and Jeanne M. (Powers) Rich, welcomed their son into the world on February 1, 1972. He grew up in Keene and was a 1990 graduate of Keene High School.
Brian worked at the Mountain Corporation in Marlborough, NH, and with Portland Glass Company in Brattleboro, VT.
He loved music, especially heavy metal, and was a talented guitarist, playing in the "Ruthless" and "Die Right Mind" area bands. He was also an avid golfer and enjoyed skiing.
He will be greatly missed by many, especially his two sons, Shea Rich of Keene and Teagan Rich of Middleburg, FL; his mother, Jeanne Rich and her partner, Bruce DiCastro, of Keene; his son’s mother, Nadine Corson of Middleburg; a brother, Sean Rich, of Danville, IN; two nieces, Darby Rich of St. Petersburg, FL, Kiersten "Kiki" Rich of Danville; two great-nephews, Asher Fiscus and Luca Kite, of Danville; and an uncle, Richard Powers, of Keene.
Services and burial in the Monadnock View Cemetery, Keene, will be held privately by the family.
