William George Brian passed away peacefully on September 27, 2026. He lived a full life centered around a deep love for his family, leaving behind a legacy of cherished memories, laughter, and affection. Happiest by the water, William treasured his time spent at his summer home by the lake in Wisconsin.

He shared a devoted 69-year marriage with his beloved wife, Gloria Brian. William is survived by his daughters, Debra Brian (Shawn Feeney) and Susan (Trent Palumbo). He was a wonderful grandfather to Brianne Feeney; Brendan Feeney and his wife, Tori Feeney; Kara and her husband, Adam Zydek; Sommer and her husband, Joseph Havel; and Skye Palumbo. He was also the proud great-grandfather of four—Beckett, Harper, Quinn Feeney, and Addison Havel—who brought immense joy to his life.
