Brian Vance, age 42, of Lynn, Indiana, passed away unexpectedly Monday, April 26, 2021, at his home after a sudden illness.

Born October 29, 1978, in Richmond, Indiana, to Marvin and Donna Miller Vance, Brian was a life-long resident of this area. He left a manufacturing career to devote his love and attention to being a stay-at-home dad. His family was very important to him, and his boys were his world. Brian loved Harley Davidsons, fast cars, fishing, and he rarely missed a Dallas Cowboys football game. Brian had a big heart and would do anything for anyone.
