Obituary

Wolke, Brian Edward finally found peace on July 13, 2024, age 66. Brian was born on September 11, 1957 to parents Dennis and Frances (née La Gosh) Wolke.

Brick by brick, he built Brian's Lawn and Gardening Care where for decades he took tremendous pride in every blade of grass and flower petal he tended to. Those that knew Brian knew where to find him: on the water, in a tree stand, listening to the chiming of the slot machines, or enjoying gatherings in his yard with a drink in his hand.

Brian never gave up the fight. He was strong willed, determined, passionate, caring, generous, devoted, and had a heart of gold.

Brian is survived by the devoted love of his life, Nancy Fernhout; forever cherished by daughters Melissa (Tony), Rebecca (Andrew), Melinda (Jason) and Andrea (Eric); treasured by grandchildren, Tony Jr. (Brandy) Nicolas, Josiah, Brianna, Ethan, Caedyn, Kyah, and Emerlee; and great-grandchildren Tomás and Beñito.

Also survived by siblings Dale (Janel), Dennis (Michael), and Denise; brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, loving friend Sandra, hunting and fishing buddies, and many more dear friends. He is now reunited with his parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, and many other family and friends he had loved along the way.

Memorial donations may be made to the Parkinson's Foundation.
