Brian was born on December 12, 1976  in Red Bank, NJ. He graduated from Middletown South HIgh School, Middletown, NJ, where he played football, and then went on to the School of Visual Arts in 1999, with a degree in Graphic Design and Advertising.. After meeting Sandy, the love of his life, they married October 31, 2009. Brian established his own graphic design company and most recently, began a position as a graphic artist for Spencer Corporation. Brian was the beloved uncle to Samantha and Billy Novick, who will always hold dear, his kindness, humor and above all, his caring heart.

Brian was an accomplished graphic artist, art director, and DJ, whose incredible talents and abilities were shown in all that he put his hand upon.  He was a beautiful soul, whitty, intelligent, and hysterically funny. He was giving, generous, and humble and loved with every ounce of his heart. He was a person who loved the Jets, and the Mets, fireworks, DJing and music of all types.  Brian never missed an opening day of trout fishing with his father. He was truly one of a kind.

The family would like to thank all of those who touched Brian’s life.
