Brian Edward Spigelmyer

April 1, 1960 - May 16, 2018

Brian Edward Spigelmyer 58, dearly loved son of Brenda & Richard Coleman of Harrisburg, PA and the late, Guy W Spigelmyer, passed away at Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital, Newport News, VA. on May 16th. Brian was a drywaller and loved his trade and enjoyed his fellow workers at various military bases in Newport News.

Brian was born in Lewistown, PA and his family moved to Harrisburg PA in 1975 and he eventually settled in Newport News, VA in 2001. He graduated from Central Dauphin Vo-Tech, Harrisburg PA, in 1978.

Brian like his father, Guy, was gifted with a beautiful voice and used his voice for the Lord. As a teen he sang in the Church Choir and a youth based singing group – Sincerely His. Brian also sang in his church’s praise and worship team as an adult. Brian was also a gifted tuba player and played in a brass group at church with his two brothers.

Brian is survived by two younger brothers, Curtis and Douglas; sister, Amy (Spigelmyer) Amell and brother-in-law, Robert Amel,l all residing in Harrisburg, PA. Brian is also survived by 2 Uncles and Aunts; 3 Nieces; 2 Nephews and 8 Cousins.

The family also wants to recognize Brian’s Newport News family, Tim Hill, Annette Purvis and his 7-11 friends that looked forward to seeing Brian as they all stopped for their morning coffee. Brian was well liked and was known to everyone as ‘Uncle Brian’. Tim and Annette welcomed Brian into their home for many great home-cooked meals. Their friendship and support was a great source of comfort to the family back home.

Brian’s friendship, loyalty and caring for others is a wonderful legacy that he leaves behind.

We are very so sorry for your loss

May Jehovah God comfort you and family, in your time of grief.

My condolences to the entire family, especially Doug who is an old friend. Brian had a positive impact on all the people around him with the musical ministry he maintained in his life, to glorify God. Rest in Peace Brian.

Brian was one of those very special people that just jump right into your heart from the moment you meet them. He was always there for me when I needed a hand or a sympathetic ear. I loved to cook a big meal and watch him eat with a big smile on his face. I will miss that smile as I will miss my best friend. Rest in Peace, Brian.

Brian has been my buddy for many years. When we worked together, each of us always knew what the other was doing and we could get any job done in half the time. Brian was not just a friend, he was part of my family. I still can't believe he is gone and I will miss him everyday.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Brenda and Family - It was a gift to us to be able to care for Brian and to get to know him and your lovely family. We have continued to talk about him amongst the staff. He - and you - touched our hearts. Blessings, prayers, and God's grace Chaplain Barb
