It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Brian Walling, a devoted member of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Ice Hockey family.
Before his passing, Brian served as the Vice President of Youth Hockey for the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Ice Hockey Association. Brian had a gift for making everyone around him feel special. He found true joy in the success and happiness of others. He never shied from the chance to help a young person, whether it be to mentor someone interested in the construction trades or to support a young athlete.
More than anything, he loved his family. He was a devoted husband and outstanding father, deeply involved in the lives of his three children, Liam, Lyla, and Declan. He was their biggest fan and a constant source of encouragement on the ice, the field or the court.
Brian could always be found cheering from the sidelines, tying skates, cleats or sneakers before early-morning practices and celebrating every small victory. Brian loved his children deeply and he supported all of their dreams.
In his absence, we want to ensure that Liam, Lyla, and Declan can continue pursuing the passions that Brian supported with so much dedication.
This fund has been created to help support their activities and future opportunities, honoring Brian’s legacy of love, dedication, and involvement in every part of their lives.
Your contribution will help ensure Brian’s children continue to grow and thrive. Every donation, big or small, is a reminder that Brian’s impact endures through the children he loved beyond measure.
Thank you for helping us carry forward his greatest legacy, the dreams of Liam, Lyla, and Declan.
