Brian grew up in Kent where he started working with his Father as an Electrician at the age of 16. He later became a journeyman electrician and worked on many commercial and residential jobs.

Brian met his wife Sue in 1982, they later married in 1984. They enjoyed many years of memories together and truly took the words for better or for worse to heart. They had two children together, Jessica and Nicole.

Anyone that knew Brian knew he was quick-witted and had a great sarcastic sense of humor. He was a very caring person that enjoyed helping other people.

Brian was a very crafty person, enjoyed woodworking and always found a clever way to fix anything. He had been a fan of the Seahawks since 1976 and enjoyed watching the games with his wife and daughter while eating their traditional football snack food, clam dip. Brian was a lover of music and played the drums.
