Brian Barrow

Brian Robert Barrow was born April 4, 1969, at Bethesda Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. He died/passed over to the "Plan the Lord had for Him" on March 17, 2015.

Brian began his educational journey at Ann Weigel Elementary on Banning Road; Sawyer Middle School on Fairfax Ave. and Withrow High School on Madison Road, and later earned his High School Equivalency. During this time he received numerous accolades and praises from his teachers and other staff members for being such an outstanding student and caring young man. He worked for Lucent Technologies, Amazon Prime in Hebron Kentucky and Schwan's Global Supply Chain in Florence for more than fourteen years. He was as motivated to exceed production output in the workplace as the Perfectionist he was in life.

During his early childhood Brian accepted God's love and reaffirmed his commitment to God in 1995 at Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church in Lincoln Heights, OH, alongside his father Charles E. Barrow, Sr.

Brian was known as the Family Protector from an early age. He was always checking on his big sister, Nikki. He also took several buses, during summer vacation, to take his little brother, Jason to Speech Therapy, 5 days a week. He carried Jason from the bus stop to the doctor's office, several blocks away on his shoulders.

Brian was heavily involved in physical fitness; he worked out for an hour, 5 days a week. His food selection and preparation was another part of his dedication to his fitness and good health.
