Brian K. Golec, 22, of Akron, went to be with our Creator on February 13, 2015. He was born in Alliance on May 1, 1992 and graduated from Ohio Virtual Academy. Brian was a drummer in the band Murphy's Children. He was a deeply spiritual and artistic person. His interests included painting, jewelry making, meditation, martial arts, video games, and anime. He loved attending outdoor festivals and raves.

His friend David Timko best described Brian: "You are a beautiful soul and will be missed on this earth more than you ever realized. Thank you for inspiring me and for putting so much love out into the world with what little time you were given. The world needs more people who think like you, not less. I promise to carry your conviction and your dreams with me and push myself harder to be the changes in this world that you were robbed of having the chance to be. In your honor homie, until we meet again, fly free."

Brian was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Ralph Laney and Keith Hamblin. He will be deeply missed by his parents, Christine and Kyle Hamblin; beloved fiancee, Sarah Price; brother, K.J. Hamblin; sister, Amanda Golec; grandparents, Faye Laney, Wilbur and Sue Martin, Jackie Hamblin, Leslie and Diane Golec; aunts and uncles, Bill and Cassie Martin, Greg and Tina Laney, Doug and Tiffany Laney, Lori and John McKnight, Debbie and Keith Golec; many other relatives and friends.
