Brian was a truck driver and really enjoyed driving over the road and seeing the country. He was awarded the one million mile safe driver award. Brian married Paula Kroll on April 26, 2016. He was blessed with two beautiful daughters,, Brittany and Alyssa. He was always so proud of them. Bragging about them to friends. Brian also loved spending time with his six grandchildren. Since he was a child at heart, Brian knew all the fun stuff to do. That’s why they called him the “Fun Grandpa”, He would tell them silly stories about wrestling alligators, and help them build forts, sneak snacks and pop, playing jokes and getting in trouble with them. Brian would always say “Shhh---Don’t tell grandma” He also enjoyed hanging out with his brother Jimmy. He was always so happy to see him. We all know he loved his OU Football (So did the neighbors). Slow was not a word in Brian’s vocabulary. He lived life in the fast lane with a lead foot. Paula and their dog Frank, joined him traveling in the truck, going to numerous states and seeing the country. He was always thinking up new places to go to see. He loved making people laugh and have fun. Pulling pranks and telling dumb jokes (Even when Paula would tell him he wasn’t funny). Going to C-Town! Was one of his favorite memories.
He was preceded in passing by his parents, George and Linda, brother David Wickham and grandparents.
