Brian enjoyed traveling with his wife and taking bike rides or evening walks together. His children, Karl, Matthew, Jacob, and Rachel, will forever cherish their memories of their dad. He could always be counted on to help with school projects and math homework. He loved spending time with his family on trips to Navarre Beach and Disney World, and going on fishing trips to Grand Isle. He was always up for movie marathons and playing frisbee on the golf course.

Brian was an avid fan of Tulane football and loved watching games with his father and sons. Always a fan of friendly competition, especially with his sister, Brian spent many evenings with his family playing cards or trivia games after Sunday dinners at his parents’ house.

Brian will be remembered for his kind and gentle nature, as well as his humor and wit, and his devotion to his family. He will be missed beyond measure.
