March 25, 1981 - April 27, 2021
On Tuesday, April 27th, 2021, Brian Chen, loving son and brother, passed away at age 40.
Brian was born in Taiwan in 1981 and came to the United States with his parents in 1985. He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1999, received a marketing & design degree from Johnson & Wales University in Providence in 2003, attended art school in San Francisco, and was the General Manager of Fresh Cleaners in Lodi and Stockton.
Brian had a passion for art. His paintings were not only admired by family and friends, but all who saw them. He also had an exceptional green thumb and was able to grow anything. He was most proud of successfully growing golden kiwis in his backyard. Most of all, Brian was known for his kind heart, his generosity, and his infectious smile.
