Brian A. McAnany

Brian A McAnany, 51, from Coon Rapids MN died unexpectedly on Friday, May 13, 2016. He was born on March 16, 1965 during a snowstorm in Milwaukee, WI to Ruth and William McAnany. Around 1978 he moved to rural Warrens WI and then later to Sparta WI where he met his wife. He raised his family in Norwalk WI. Brian was a great father, husband and grandfather. He spent endless hours playing with the grandchildren, taking Kaydyn, the oldest on camping trips and patiently letting little Brian follow him around in the garage. Brian’s project was rebuilding a 1950 Chevrolet Truck and a few videos are uploaded to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-0A2CDDScFta_Izby_dQ7A. Brian completed two technical degrees at Western Technical College for Auto Technician and Fabrication Welding. Over the years he worked in the automotive field and the two places he enjoyed working at the most were American Scrap Iron & Auto Recyclers and Jackson Chevrolet. Brian is survived by his wife Sandra McAnany of Coon Rapids, his sons, Benjamin McAnany (Haley Dougherty), Wayne McAnany (Ashley Vian), Jacob McAnany (Crystal Cervantes), Matthew McAnany and William D McAnany, his beloved grandchildren Kaydyn, Ashton, Tiegan, Brian, Brody, Grayson, Preston, Deja and Lucy, his mother, Ruth McAnany, his mother and father in laws Barb Schedler, Dewitt and Patti Schedler, brother Mark McAnany (Sandy), his sister Chris Schaefer (Ken) and brother in laws Mike and Tom Schedler, many nieces and nephews including Heidi, Heather, Shaun, Aja, Sky and Forest, his dog Boone and individuals who may not be related but who will always be family including Vanesha, Ania, Maya, Yamileth, Jack, Ruffi and Fred. He was preceded in death by his father William A McAnany, brother William E McAnany, sister Brida Bair, and brother in laws Dan Bair and Paul Schedler. His family expresses deep gratitude to the doctors and nursing staff at Mercy Hospital, and the paramedics, police and fire department who tried so hard to get his heart working again. A celebration of life and service will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 20, on top of Granddad’s Bluff in La Crosse WI, the same place he was married so many years ago. The Reverend Kathleen Charles will officiate. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. (Anon)
