Brian was born in Detroit on April 3, 1979, to Tom and Karen (Eberly) Douglas. From the moment he entered the world, Brian brought joy and brightness into the lives of those around him.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Brian loved spending time with his family, including annual camping weekends with all the Douglas men- 40 years in a row and countless hours with his father, family and friends for small-mouth bass on East Bay.
