We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Brian Lynch of Tacoma, Washington. He died unexpectedly from heart complications at the age of 68 on July 10th, 2023. He was born on February 15th, 1955 in Tacoma and graduated from Stadium High School and Bates Technical College. Early-on after completing his education, Brian proudly served as a firefighter for both the City of Pasco and City of Everett. He made his home over the years with his beloved wife, Diane, and two sons in Pasco, Marysville, and Eatonville before returning to Tacoma.

Brian is survived by his wife, his sons Brandon (Deanna) and Patrick, his father Robert, his brother Doug, and two granddaughters Holly and Nelia.

Brian was known for his kindness, selflessness, quiet yet strong demeanor, and unconditional love toward family and friends. He inspired love of nature in his sons and cherished boating and the Puget Sound, the mountains, baseball, motorcycles, and spending time with several treasured dogs over the years.

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

In keeping with Brian’s wishes, there will not be a service.
