If Brian touched your life, you were lucky. He was a very generous and giving person and would’ve given the shirt off his back to anyone in need. Brian lived life to the fullest, whether it was work or play, he did most things at full throttle. He was a hard worker and took pride in everything he did.
Brian was at a stage in his life that he was very happy and content. He loved his job, family, coworkers, and he was enjoying life to the fullest. He enjoyed fishing with his girls and grandbabies. Brian and Candy loved spending time together back roading and trail riding in their UTV.
As tragic as this loss is, there is a small amount of comfort knowing he was doing what he loved when he passed. Brian will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Casket bearers will be Andy Bradley, Tanner Singleton, John Russow, Gary Miksell, Alan Bull, David Lewis, Steve Johnson, and Gary Allison. Keith Brumfield will officiate. The United States Army will perform honors at Stone Cemetery. Donations can be made to the Carthage VFW Post 2590 or
