The late Brian Selleck was from Belding, Michigan. Brian, affectionately known as "Pup," passed away unexpectedly in his home on June 30, 2024. Brian, a 2017 Belding High School alumnus, had been pursuing a degree at Michigan Tech, where he had received a near full-ride scholarship. He was known for his determination, aiming to complete a six-year program in just four years. Despite his long battle with spinal cancer, which he had overcome about a year ago, his sudden death has left his family and friends devastated.
Brian lived with his father, Brian Selleck Sr., and his passing has placed a significant financial burden on the family, compounded by the costs of his services and remaining medical bills. In response, Amanda Ritenburgh, a close friend, has organized a GoFundMe fundraiser to help alleviate these expenses. The goal is to raise $8,000, and any amount donated is deeply appreciated.
The outpouring of grief and condolences on Facebook highlights the impact Brian had on those around him. Karrie Selleck expressed her heartbreak, writing, "My heart is broken, such a beautiful boy." Leanne Staffen shared the sad news, saying, "As many of you already know, Brian passed away yesterday. Our hearts are broken and we are absolutely devastated."
Brian’s friends and colleagues fondly remembered him. Amanda Ritenburgh mentioned, "I still can’t believe it… He touched so many lives and that smile of his is just contagious." Alicia Homrich, a colleague, expressed her sorrow, "I worked with Brian for the past two years and will miss his kindness and laughter! I am so incredibly sorry for your family’s loss!"
The community’s sentiments reflect a collective mourning and a celebration of Brian’s life. Joana Johnson summed up the feelings of many, stating, "Brian was so sweet and always had the best smile on his face. My heart breaks for all of you. Give everyone my love."
