Brionne loved life! He loved being a joker. He loved cooking, creating recipes, and trying new foods with his kids. Brionne loved being outdoors, fishing, and hiking. He loved Vermont and would always call it his home. He loved looking for a new fishing or swimming hole. He loved building and taking things apart to see how they worked. He loved his animals, owned several chickens, and loved his Great Dane Loki.

His favorite thing in the world was family. He loved being a father, big brother, and uncle. That’s where he shined. He would do anything for anyone. He will be missed but never forgotten by so many people.

Special thanks to Lisa and Andy Lynch of East Brookfield, Massachusetts, for their care, kindness, quick response, and to all the first responders involved for their swift actions.
