It is with great sadness that we announce Brian's passing on Jan. 22, 2025 following an unexpected health emergency.

In life, Brian was known best for his love and devotion to his family, his creativity and imagination, and keeping up the spirits of those around him with a smile and a song. His flair for the dramatic arts and storytelling began at a young age and carried with him through the years. Telling tales of fantasy and adventure was honed at the roleplaying table where he made lifelong friends and which ultimately inspired his becoming a published author. He loved live theater, participating in community and school productions, one of which sparked a high school romance that became a marriage lasting twenty-one years and created two amazing children.

For non-monetary gestures to honor Brian's memory, please consider any or all of the following: crank up the radio at work and sing along, write the story that's been bouncing around in your head, play a board game with family or friends, read a story to your favorite kid and do the voices, snuggle up with your favorite person to rewatch a movie you both love and quote all the lines to each other, or just be a good person for the sake of being a good person.

Brian's continuing legacy also includes the upcoming publication of the sequel to his first novel, "Bought with Blood." For updates on the release of the sequel, "Tainted with Blood," please follow SthenoType (publisher) on social media.
