ESSEX JUNCTION - Brian F. Barkyoumb passed away unexpectedly, due to a sudden illness, on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012. He was 38 years old.

Brian was born June 9, 1973, in Burlington, the son of Carol (Campbell) and Frank Barkyoumb.

He attended schools in Richmond, Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, Mass., and graduated from Mount Mansfield Union High School. He then went on to attend RIT in Rochester, N.Y. From there, he accepted a position at IBM. He later accepted a Quality Control position at Twincraft Soaps in Winooski, where he continued to work up until his death. Brian enjoyed all forms of sports and activities. He liked men's softball, snowboarding, canoeing, camping and fishing. He was an avid football fan. He was especially proud of being the anchor man on his bowling league. Friends and family were important to Brian, and he touched many lives. Brian always had a smile on his face and a happy-go-lucky attitude. He was a kid at heart, and his nieces and nephews flocked to him the minute they saw him. His kind, gentle and loving manner made him a wonderful husband, son, brother and friend. It is said the Lord always takes the good ones back too soon, and in this case, it is true. Brian was just starting out on his journey in life. His family cherished him and now feels the pain of loss that will never be completely healed. Brian, you will never be forgotten. You will forever be in our hearts and beautiful memories; you were one of a kind, sweetheart, and we will always love you. He is survived by his loving wife, Lisa (Hill), whom he married on Sept. 10, 2011.

He also leaves behind his parents, Frank and Carol Barkyoumb of Westford.

Brian was the youngest of four children. He leaves behind his sister, Kristine Roy and her two children, Mason and Carmen of Richmond; his brother, Steven and wife, Sara and their two sons, Rowan and Augustus of Burlington; and his sister, Diane Russin and her three children, Danielle, Colby and Avery of Fairfax. Also surviving him are his wife's parents, Jim Hill and Louise Lemire; and sister-in-law, Cathee Hill.
