Brian Miyajima, Ocala, FL—The community mourns the passing of Brian Miyajima, a cherished friend and son, whose death has left many in deep sorrow. Brian passed away at the age of 40. His passing has deeply impacted those who knew him, particularly his mother, Lynn Miyajima, with whom he shared a home after his father’s death 15 years ago.
Brian was a unique individual known for his love of Tampa Bay Lightning hockey, his woodworking skills, and his famously lovable sarcasm. He took on the role of caretaker after his father’s passing, maintaining the household and ensuring his mother’s well-being. Brian’s dedication to his responsibilities meant he often forwent luxuries, and in his later years, even necessities. His health took a downturn during the past year, but Brian, being as stubborn as he was, kept his illness to himself. Despite his declining condition, he did not reach out for help, preferring to be remembered for his vibrant personality rather than his illness.
Brian’s passing has not only brought emotional pain to his mother but also left her in financial difficulty, as Brian was unable to work in the final year of his life. A fundraiser organized by his best friend Carlo Lopez aims to cover the expenses for Brian’s cremation and any unpaid bills. So far, $1,050 has been raised out of the $15,000 goal, with donations coming from generous individuals such as Christopher Buchanan, who donated $300, and Joseph Zammataro, who contributed $100.
Carlo Lopez, who organized the fundraiser, shared on GoFundMe, "Brian was more than a best friend to me; I loved him like a brother." Carlo’s heartfelt message and the outpouring of support from the community show just how much Brian meant to those around him.
Facebook posts have also surfaced, with Greg Hall writing, "For anyone wanting to help Brian’s mother out, it would be greatly appreciated."
Our hearts go out to Lynn Miyajima and all of Brian’s loved ones during this challenging time. May Brian’s memory live on in the hearts of all who knew him, and may his family find peace and comfort. Our prayers are with you.
