Brian J. Talley

Brian Jason Talley, age 45, of Caledonia Michigan, passed away on June 22, 2022. Brian was a devoted, loving husband and cherished his wife Amy and his daughters Audrey and Avery. Nothing meant more to him than his “Three A’s.” Brian proudly served and loved his country with honor and distinction. He was a graduate of The United States Military Academy and was a Field Artillery Officer in The United States Army from 1999 to 2006. He was an exceptional leader and was held in high esteem among all with whom he served. Brian rose to the rank of Captain during his military career. During Brian’s civilian life his career flourished, and he earned a graduate degree from The Ross School of Business at The University of Michigan. He was most recently employed with Purity Cylinder Gases Inc. as an engineering sales consultant in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A close friend and brother to so many, he developed and fostered deep relationships among all who knew him and was the consummate connector who brought his friends together. Brian was most passionate about his family, country, friends, Michigan Wolverines, and Army football. Go Blue…and Beat Navy!
