Brian Michael Funari, age forty-two, has passed away on the twenty-eight of November 2024 in his home located in the rural town of Conowingo, Maryland.

Born in Buck County, Pennsylvania on January twenty-first, 1982, Brian was the son of Susan Laquintano, and Jeffrey Funari.  He attended Neshaminy High School in Langhorne graduating in 2001.  He worked as a lineman, plumber, and stonemason.  However, he was an incredibly talented lifelong craftsman enjoying work such as carpentry, landscaping, and home remodeling.

Brian was an avid lover of nature (specifically plants) and enjoyed growing trees in his free time.  He even dreamed of opening his own tree farm in the future.  He enjoyed finding name brand shoes for himself as well as collecting and creating things for his loved ones that he believed they would enjoy.  Brian will always be known for his green thumb, his strong abilities to craft, thoughtfulness, and his incredibly sweet heart.

He is survived by his mother Susan Laquintano, stepfather Andrew Laquintano, siblings Dino Funari, A.J. Laquintano, and Stevie Laquintano, as well as his daughter Natalie Marie, and of course his beloved dogs Frankie and Love.

A "Celebration of Life" will be held during the spring in lieu of Brian's love for his plants.  Symbolic of growth and new life as we know that he will always be with us.  The date is yet to be set.
