Brian ‘Sinbad’ Kerry, age 41, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, November 29, 2017.

As will never be a more truthful statement, “the world is lesser without our Sinbad, anyone and everyone’s friend.”

He was the beloved husband of Allyssa Kerry and the unmistakable loving step-father of her children, Kailee and Jacob Deleuze.   He is survived by his mother Karen (Ed) Bartling, sisters Adrienne and Angela Bartling, and Brianna Rogers (niece), Oliver Bartling (nephew), and Kira McCollum (niece).

Brian had the magical quality of positivity. He “Lived the Dream”, every day: just ask anyone whom had the pleasure of being around him. He had the ability to fetch a smile from anyone who was in range of his persona, which had a far reaching radius. He had the ability to make anyone forget the problems of the day, and remember how good life actually is. A dreamer he was, always looking towards a better future, and never dwelling any negative past. This world needs more like him.

After college, Brian cherished his career at Moon Township Ford. He reveled in being the go-to-guy for whomever, friend or new friend. Service advice, Parts needed, got it. Do you already think you know what you need; let’s double check and make sure it was correct and in your best interest.

Brian credits the men and women of Zelienople VFD Station 22 with providing him with the renewed positivity that ultimately defined him to the end. Thank you, ZVFD Station 22.

Brian will be greatly missed. But his imprint on all that had the pleasure to knowing him will live on. Visitation Sunday 2-6 PM Copeland’s Sewickley, 702 Beaver St. where a service will be held at 6:00 PM. Inurnment Private
