Brian was employed for several years as the manager at Discount Tire in Mishawaka.  More recently, he was employed by Heartland and Forest River RV’s.  In his youth, he played Little League baseball and he loved riding dirt bikes and motorcycles. He also loved to wrestle and play football with his friends. Brian was also a huge fan of the Chicago Bears and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. His hobbies outside of work were working on restoring his dad’s 1970 Camaro and other cars and taking walks with his wife Kimberley to feed the squirrels in St. Patrick’s Park and spending time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  

Most of all, Brian had a heart of gold and a generous spirit about him.  He would be the first to offer help to others whenever needed. His caring nature was showcased in the way he loved his family and friends, and the smile he wore often. His entire life revolved around his daughter and his family.  He also loved to help those who helped him through the hard times in his life. His generosity towards others will be remembered forever by those he has helped.
