Brian Preisler Obituary
Brian Joseph Preisler was born on November 20, 1975 in Ann Arbor, Michigan to George and Donna (Hegeman) Preisler. He grew up in Zeeland and was a 1994 graduate of Zeeland High School. He then attended trade school to become a journeyman electrician.
He married Kelli Roelofs on June 12, 2004 in Zeeland. They moved to Spring Lake, Michigan and later moved to Colorado. They welcomed daughter, Lillian, on August 30, 2012. Brian loved the outdoors, spending time with the people he loved, especially his wife and adored daughter. Brian never met a stranger; he could and would talk to everyone he came across. Brian was a doer, whether renovating his own home or helping anyone he noticed to be in need. Brian was truly a giver.
He had a wonderful sense of humor and will be best remembered for the adoration of his daughter and his great stories.
Brian is survived by his wife; Kelli Preisler and his daughter; Lillian Preisler of Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, his parents; George and Donna Preisler of Allegan, Michigan, his sister; Cheryl (Mark) Hense of Battle Creek, Michigan and nieces and nephews; Ava, Jake, and Cody Hense.
He also leaves father and mother-in-law; Jack and Joann Roelofs; sister-in-law; Kerri (Mike) Ploeg, and nieces and nephews; Brennan and Kiara Scholten, and James and Franklin Ploeg.
