Bryan Hoopaugh

Uncle brian taught me many things in life. Like how to tie my shoes. How to throw a ball and catch one too.He also taught me how to drive a stick on the same hill. My dad taught him. He was always there at a moment's notice when called trying to protect me and my crazy cousin , paul from all the mischief and trouble we caused. To us, even though he was our uncle with many life lessons, always keeping a smile and maintaining laughter.He was also like a brother only sixteen years apart. He was the one my parents called to talk since into me when I was going down dark paths cuz , he too had crossed those same paths he taught me what it means for family to be there. Be real and be true, always ensuring that. As kids always had a gift from him and showing up to every event, he was able to make it at a priority to be there during special occasions. He will forever be missed, but his memories will never be forgotten. He lives on through those he loves and those that loved him.
