Brian lived in McBain, MI most of his life and graduated from McBain Rural Agricultural School in 2004. For decades he worked as an honest, respected man in the work force.

While on earth, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, watching as well as playing hockey and sharing stories of his many adventures which includes him surviving testicular cancer.

Plus many cherished cousins, nieces and nephews as well as aunts and uncles.

He was preceded in death by his Grandma Ellie Elowsky and Grandma Kay McClellan as well as a grandfather Fredrick Mellberg and aunts Wendy MacDonald and Trish Bogart.

We met when we were kids. He was a good friend who lived just down the road from me. I was an outsider in that horrible bully ridden town. But he never let the hypocrisy of that area dampen his spirit... he was a natural good soul.
