“Life can change in the blink of an eye or in a single heartbeat. Just when ya think it can’t get any worse and everything has fallen apart the sun will shine and just when ya think you’re on top of the world someone can yank the rug from underneath you. I’m gonna try to believe that it all happens for a reason although we may not understand the reason at the moment there is a reason for all things good and bad. So move forward with open mind and heart and love with all you are and everyone you meet. Life is short, can be gone in an instant. So live, laugh and love as if there is no tomorrow.” ~Bryan Anable 4/28/2017
Bryan “BJ” Jay Anable, 45, known by many as “B-Nasty” and “The Legend”, passed away unexpectedly from injuries sustained from an automobile accident on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.
He was born on May 14, 1977 in Mansfield, Ohio. BJ was the son of David and Shirley (Partin) Anable. BJ was a 1995 graduate of Madison High School. A jack of all trades, and known to be able to fix anything, BJ worked in the area of construction as his trade career. His work ethic was impeccable, and was a good mentor to many. BJ was always on his own time schedule and was never on time to events. He was very much a people person, never meeting a stranger and could strike up a conversation easily. He had a generosity that knew no limits regardless of who the recipient was. A thrill seeker at heart, BJ had a love for anything that got the heart racing and the adrenaline pumping such as quad and dirt bike racing to name a few. He was a lover of outdoors and enjoyed spending time on the boat.
He leaves behind to cherish many fond memories his children, Gunor Doreitch, Blaze and Breeze Anable; his grandchildren, Everly Doreitch and Myla Anable; his parents; his siblings, Chad Anable and Tera (Steve) Herr; his nieces and nephews, Gavin Anable (Makenzie), Bryce Anable, Corbin Herr and Degan Herr; a great-niece, Hazel Anable; his grandmother, Virginia Partin; and many cousins, dear relatives and wonderful friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Bernard Partin, Sumner “Joe” and Gloria “Jean” Anable; and his aunt, Mary Lou Anable.
Family and friends may gather on Friday, April 28, 2023 from 5:00-8:00 pm at the Wappner Funeral Directors-Mansfield, 98 S. Diamond St. BJ will be laid to rest at a later date in Mansfield Cemetery.
