On Thursday,  January 7, 2021, Brian Mayberry and his boys, Trevor and Nick, sustained the loss of their family home in rural Pottawattamie County, from a fire with an electrical origin. The home and contents were destroyed, or heavily damaged by smoke and water. Brian and his beloved dog Rylee were not at home, and are safe.
Brian and his wife Cindy moved to the farm early in their marriage in 1988, to raise their sons, yet to be born, and a variety of animals. Their love of animals was shared (with them meeting, working, and having their wedding reception at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo) with their sons.
Cindy, diagnosed with colon cancer, and fought bravely, was to pass on in 2001 at the age of 38. Brian raised his two sons in their family home, and preserved the memory of his wife and the boy's mom. He cherished photographs, souvenirs, and momentos of their family,  careers, and their lives together. The home they built and the memorabilia are gone, with only a few things able to be salvaged.
The process of salvage and starting anew ahead, any donation would be sincerely appreciated at this difficult time.
The picture of Brian, Cindy, Trevor and Nicholas was taken in their barn at their home.
