Brian had a profound influence on all who knew him. He had a fun, playful personality and conveyed love, humor, and joy to all fortunate enough to interact with him.

As a third-generation pilot, Brian loved flying and the freedom it brought. As a child he was fascinated with airplanes and the concept of flying. As an adult he accomplished his dream of becoming a Delta pilot and took to the sky on metal wings. He was constantly excelling in his profession. If Brian had a weakness, it was that he could never sit still. He was constantly reading and learning, including obtaining an MBA degree from the University of Utah while working full time. But as impressive as his career was, even more impressive was his love for his family!

Brian married the love of his life, Wendy Lowrance, in 2002 and added three beautiful children to their family. He Forever, for always, and no matter what. cherished the quality time he got to spend with them. He excelled as a provider for his family whom he loved dearly.

Brian developed a love for nature and all that it entailed. Whether hiking, camping, skiing, dirt biking, or just being in the mountains, Brian was always most at peace when in nature.

Brian is survived in life by his wife (Wendy), his children (Brinley [19], Bryson [16], and Brayden [12]), his siblings (Abbie, Donald; Elizabeth, Mary, Jonathan, David, Stephen), his parents (Don and Kathy, Ann and Frank, and Dan and Elaine).

Brian, may the wind always be under your forever wings and may you fly free! Love you forever, for always, and no matter what.
