Brian had a strong faith in God, and didn’t miss a Sunday in church. If you didn't know Brian, you more than likely saw him walking through the city. Walking was his happy place, it kept him going, and his heart beating as long as it did. He was a funny guy and loved spending time with his family and friends. Brian had been through a lot in his 64 years and his faith helped him overcome a lot of obstacles. He turned his life around for the better, and passed as a Christian man.
Visitation on Thursday, May 25, 2023, 1pm-5pm at Witkowiak Funeral Home, 529 W Historic Mitchell St., Milwaukee. Service at 4 pm.
