Brian D. Brantigan, 65, more affectionately known as "Harley" or "Papa", passed away in his Niagara Falls, NY home on July 23, 2024.

Brian was born and raised in Detroit, MI. As a boy, he developed a love for Rock N' Roll, golf, and having a good time. Brian was a man of few words, but when he did speak it was filled with wisdom and wit.  Like one of his favorite rock bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Brian was a traveling man. For 15 years, Brian was a long-haul trucker, getting to see most of the country. When he was home, he enjoyed blasting music, playing games, and barbecuing with family and friends.

Brian's memory will be carried on by his wife Beatrice Brantigan, his son, Brian G. Brantigan, his sister, Karen Kinzly, his daughters, Chiara Kinzly, Alyson Graham, Michelle Kinzly, and Donna Grimes, his niece Rachel and nephew Michael, his 9 grandkids, and his 4 great-grandchildren.

Rock-on In Peace, Papa.
