Brian C Jochum funeral and memorial

Donation protected

Brian passed away from a motorcycle accident on August 9th, 2016.  

Brian leaves behind a son and daughter that were his first priorities in life.   Brian is survived by his parents who instilled in him a sense of family first.  Brian worked hard to instill these values in his own children.  Brian lived at home with his mother and worked with her to provide a safe and healthy home for his two children.  Brian struggled through life finding odd jobs here and there as a furniture mover for a friend's uncle, carpet cleaner and shop assistant.  In 2015 he attempted to open his own ecig store but that was unsuccessful.  Recently Brian had made a decision to turn his life around.  He got a temp job at Dynamic Fitness making exercise equipment.  Brian's boss recognized his commitment to better himself and offered him a full time job.  Brian had to decline the offer of full time work as he had enrolled himself at the Chippewa Valley Technical College to become a HVAC repairman in the fall.  Unfortunately, Brian's second chance was cut short on August 9th.  

Brian's parents are both on fixed incomes and struggling to cover expenses for his funeral and memorial costs.   They would also like to set aside some money for his children to attend higher education in the future.
