He was a boyfriend to, Denise Simonin. Son to Fred
Mead(Maron) and Diane Mathis-Friberg(Harry). An uncle to Alvin, Chelsea, and Amanda. He was also formerly married to, Jennifer Vendzules and mother-in-law Nancy Weber. This death brings up a lot of questions, sadness, unfairness that is left unanswered, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Fairness doesn’t govern life or death. If it did, no good person would ever die young. Brian is
looking down on us all and would want us to be celebrating his life, not mourning over his death. Brian had an amazing life. He was extremely dedicated to his union Local 28, a Boilermaker of 25+ years. The coworkers there became his brothers. He also did a lot of stucco which he was absolutely amazing at! He was a coach of little league football for about 8 years, they called him “The Candyman,” a little creepy, but absolutely hilarious. Brian worked his butt off to support his family, put food on the table, and be the best father he could. He was the kind of man that wanted to make everyone around him happy, and he sure would do it.The humor he had would make you laugh until you pee. His laugh and smile would be contagious. Brian was an extremely loyal friend, husband, boyfriend, and brother. If you needed him, he would find a way. Brian will forever be in our hearts, and never be forgotten. This man had an amazing, over-the-top, extraordinary life, and will continue to be the person. And he’s buying a stairway to heaven and leaving a whole-lotta love for his family and friends behind. Family and friends are invited to visit from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm Wednesday, May 13th, at Smith Funeral Home 47 Main Street Mantua, NJ 08051. Memorial Service will be held at 8:00 pm.
