Brian loved to weld, tattooing, football, Classic rock, Euchre, fishing, camping and spending time with his family. A huge fan of the Chicago Bears and the St. Louis Cardinals, doing his best to never miss a game. He enjoyed his nightly coffee with his wife, sitting around a campfire telling stories of his wild life. Playing Euchre even though getting through a single game took twice as long cause he talked the whole time forgetting what trump was every hand. Passionate about art and tattooing, followed by his love for welding and Harleys. Above all of these things though was family, Brian loved to spend time with his family.
