Brian Kanter
It is with love and gratitude that we celebrate the life of Brian Michael Kantner who passed away on May 12th at the age of 49. Born on December 30th, 1976 in St. Marys, Ohio. He lived a life centered around family, hard work, and selflessness.
Brian was a devoted husband and parent, always holding his family in the highest regard. His love was steady, supportive and unconditional. He was always proud of his children and found the most joy in watching his children's sports and watching them succeed. He was proud to be a hard working member of the Sheet Metal Union Local 24. In his career he was often looked upon as a mentor and role model to those working alongside him.
Brian will be remembered for his strength, outgoing personality, sarcastic nature, but also the love he freely shared with anyone he came across. His legacy will live on through his wife, his children, and the beautiful memories that they've created. While Brian will be deeply missed, may we take comfort in knowing he is at peace and in the presence of the Lord.
Miller-Long and Folk Funeral Home, 314 West High Street, Saint Marys, is caring for Brian's family. Memories and condolences may be sent to them via Millerfuneralhomes.net.
