It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Brian Keith Lobdell on Friday, October 3, 2025. He was 63 years young.

Born May 10, 1962, in Bluffton, Ohio. He was a kind man any friend could count on in times of need. A body man by trade of 30 years. He enjoyed classic cars, skilled in auto upholstery, body work, and automotive finishes. He was also known for his collection of many hats, from his fedora to his cowboy hats.  He had the wonderful gift of conversation, whether it was a quick “Hello”, a handshake, a dance, or an acknowledging grin; he always left you feeling better than he found you. Fly high, cowboy.

Brian leaves behind to cherish his memories, his father, Vern Lobdell and his partner, Kathy Lobdell; Mother, Virginia Cardwell and Stepfather Dan Cardwell; his siblings, Vern Allen Lobdell, Laurea Cole Lobdell, Randall Lobdell and Phillip Lobdell; former wife, Suzanne Stevenson, and their two children, Sarabelle Stevenson Lobdell and Mason Lobdell; and his other children, Vincent Lobdell, Katherine Lobdell, and Jacob Lobdell; and son Mathew Blake.
