Born on August 16, 1972, in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Brian lived a vibrant, memorable life shaped by adventure, generosity, humor, and a fearless spirit that touched countless people.

Growing up under the wide New Mexico sky, Brian developed an early love for the outdoors. What began as skateboarding down sun-drenched streets as a boy grew into a lifelong enthusiasm for snowboarding, where he carved through fresh powder with joy, confidence, and his signature no-fear, adventurous spirit.

Brian built a career grounded in hard work, creativity, and an entrepreneurial spirit. After high school, he worked at Vail Ski Resort and later at Ski Santa Fe, embracing the mountain lifestyle he loved. He also pursued several small-business ventures over the years, a testament to his resourcefulness, drive, and willingness to pursue new opportunities. He went on to become a telecommunications lineman, mastering tough, hands-on work, before transitioning into prop construction for the film industry, where he became a proud member of IATSE Local 480.

Brain was also a devoted Denver Broncos fan; he rarely missed a game, and he cherished the camaraderie of fantasy football with family and friends. Whether spending time with his family, his many many friends, or relaxing with his loyal dogs, Lola, Diamond, and Irish. Brian found joy in the people, connections, and simple moments that mattered most.

Brian’s purpose in life was simple yet profound: to make others laugh and lift their spirits. His humor was a beacon of light, his kindness unwavering, and his company unforgettable. He will be remembered as fearless and strong-willed, stubborn at times, but always funny, loyal, and full of heart, with a devil-may-care attitude, and full of boundless energy that made life brighter for those around him.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
