For the past 15 years, Brian served as the Reading Specialist at Overbrook School as well as a private tutor, teaching countless children to read and giving them this most precious lifelong gift. Brian chose the path of education because he wanted to give back to children with different learning abilities. He was a beloved colleague at Overbrook and preferred to stay out of the limelight, never seeking attention for himself. All who knew Brian loved his easygoing and most gentle nature. He had a profound love of the outdoors and mountain biking in particular. Brian was always up for the next adventure and enjoyed exploring the world and the United States with his wife and children. Brian will be remembered for how loving and devoted he was to his family. He was an incredible father and his boys were everything to him. He volunteered regularly with Sean’s Scout Troop and was a Boy Scout Merit Badge Counselor. He was a gentle soul. Brian gave so much of himself, was the most incredible listener, and tried so hard to please everyone. Brian was the best son, spouse, and father his family could wish for. His family and friends are devastated by this loss and he is irreplaceable.
