Brian Hinerman passed away in a sudden and tragic accident on October 21, 2026, leaving behind his wife, Lori, their daughter, Zoe, their sons, Seth and Brandon, and three grandchildren. His loss has left this family grieving an unimaginable loss while also facing the difficult realities that come after such a sudden passing.

Brian was the one who took care of the bills, and now Lori and the family are having to navigate not only their grief, but the financial responsibilities he carried as well. In a time that should be focused on mourning and supporting one another, they are also being faced with funeral planning, household bills, and everyday expenses they must now manage without him.

Brian was a pillar in the community and surrounding areas. He was often the first to help those in need, including during the flood in Perry County a few months back. He was known for his heart of gold, his willingness to help anyone, and for being a truly genuine person. He could chat with anyone, crack a joke to make people smile, and leave a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

He loved car shows, wrestling, being an announcer, refereeing, BK The DJ, and sharing his smoked brisket through his popular Hiney’s Smokeshack, along with other delicious creations. Brian was well known and highly respected, and his presence touched so many lives.

This fundraiser is to help ease some of that burden and give Lori and the family a little more breathing room as they face the days ahead. Any donation, no matter the amount, will help support funeral expenses, bills, and daily needs during this heartbreaking time. If you are able, please consider giving or sharing to help surround Brian’s family with care and support from the community. This is a chance to give back to his family, because Brian would have done the same for so many others.
