Brian Kelly Fox, age 49, passed from this earth on May 5, 2026. Brian was born on October 22, 1976, in Okmulgee. Shortly after his birth, his family moved to Fairmont, West Virginia where he spent most of his childhood years. During high school, Brian moved to Hazleton, Pennsylvania, where he graduated and soon entered the workforce.

Brian was known by many as "the guy who did a little bit of everything." No matter the task, he approached his work with dedication, determination, and pride. Those who knew him best often spoke of what a hard worker he was and how willing he always was to lend a helping hand. Brian had a servant's heart and was the kind of man who would truly give the shirt off his back to help someone in need.

He carried an infectious smile that could brighten any room, and he never seemed to meet a stranger. Brian had a special gift for connecting with people through kindness, warmth, and compassion. He made others feel welcomed, valued, and loved.

Brian enjoyed baking and took great joy in sharing food with family and friends. He loved sports and was a devoted fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Lightning. He also loved fishing, spending time outdoors, and appreciating God's creation.

Above all else, Brian loved the Lord and cherished his church family at the Dewar United Pentecostal Church. His faith was an important part of his life and a source of strength and comfort to him throughout the years.

Brian will be remembered as a brave, kind, and loving man whose presence brought joy to so many. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.

Brian is survived by his brothers, James Fox, Charles Fox, and Dee Jay Fox; his sisters, Dusti Curry and Shannon Katchmer; and two dear mother figures, Donna Shenberger and Gloria Fox.

He was preceded in death by his father, Kevin Fox; his brother, Jerry Katchmer; and his grandmother, Naomi Watts.

Though Brian's time on earth has ended, the love, kindness, and faith he shared with others will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
