Brian Brandow Sr.

Brian Keith Brandow Sr. a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 27, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Brian was a man who found joy in the simple things in life. He loved taking motorcycle rides, fishing, going for walks, and most of all, spending time with his family. Some of his most treasured memories were the walks and time he shared with his grandsons, Kyle and Kaiden, whom he had the blessing of living with and being a part of their everyday lives. To Kyle and Kaiden, he was not only their grandpa, but a best friend, a constant presence, and someone they will carry in their hearts forever.

Brian leaves behind his loving children: Blake (Tiffany) Limberger, Guage (Kenzie) Limberger, Brian Jr. (Anna) Brandow, Austin Limberger, and Travis Brandow.

He was a proud grandfather to Kyle and Kaiden, Anyeah Grace; Landon; Travis Jr, Phoenix, Amonni and his other grandchildren whom he loved dearly.

Brian is survived by his siblings, Scott Brandow and Debbie (Dave) Buck.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Barb and Cliff Brandow, and his siblings, Tracy Brandow, Cliff Brandow, and Pam Brandow.

Brian’s greatest legacy will not be measured by the things he owned or the places he went, but by the love he gave to his family and the memories he created with them. His laughter, his stories, his love of the outdoors, motorcycle rides, fishing, and those everyday walks with his grandsons will forever remain a part of the people who loved him.

He will be deeply missed by his children, grandchildren, siblings, extended family, and friends. Though his time with us has come to an end, the love he gave and the memories he made will live on in his family forever.

Ride free, Brian. Until we meet again.
