Age 60 of Elsmere
Passed away Suddenly from Heart Failure, on Friday, December 13, 2024.
Brian was born and raised in Elsmere, Delaware. He was a proud graduate of Delcastle High School. Upon graduation he went to work with his father at Bancroft and Sons Finishing Co. before beginning his career at Chrysler. He was a dedicated employee for many years until an injury precluded him from his duties. Most recently, Brian was working as a Valet at Delaware Park, where he excelled and made many friends.
Brian was a happy go lucky man. He was always the first person to try to brighten your day with a joke. He was caring and compassionate to all those around him but most of all he was generous. He would give the shirt off his back or his last dollar to someone he thought might need it. Even in his final act he sought to give to others through organ donation.
Brian was very devoted to his mom and dad. His big enjoyment was the Horse Races, playing the slots at (Harrah's, Dover Downs, Live and many in Atlantic City.
He was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend whose kind spirit will be dearly missed.
