Brian was employed in medical equipment delivery for many years before becoming a caregiver for his father. Hailing from the Chicago area, he stayed true to his roots and was a huge fan of the Chicago Bears and Cubs. He was also a huge pain in the (you know what) and loved giving his family a hard time. Everything about Brian was larger than life. He was a giant of a man with an even bigger heart. Throughout the physical hardships of his final years, Brian never lost his sense of humor. He was also a tinkerer, working on cars out of necessity and on phones and computers for fun. Brian will always be remembered for being generous, funny, kind, and a certified yapper.

Brian is survived by his wife Christine Brucher of Warsaw, Illinois; his stepson Andrew (Jasmine) Trimble of Woodstock, Illinois; and several step-siblings and other family members.

Brian is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Jake.
