We remember with love and admiration the life of Jonathan E. Brien, fondly known as Jon, who was born on April 20, 1971, in Norwalk, Connecticut, and suddenly passed away on October 20, 2023. Jon's life was filled with joy, generosity, laughter, and a deep love for his family and friends.

Jon was a cherished husband to Jennifer and a proud and loving father to his three children, Jonathan, Jayce, and Jenna. He was a devoted son to Agnes, and the memory of his late father, Arthur, remained close to his heart. Jon also leaves behind his siblings Kevin (Patty), Mary (Thom), Sue, Arthur (Laura), William (Terri), and Matthew, who will continue to honor his legacy. He held a special place in his heart for his mother-in-law Elaine Stanchfield (Todd), father-in-law Thomas Duch (Mary), and brothers-in-law TJ Stanchfield (Maddy) and predeceased by Rick Tripodi. Jon also leaves behind many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was predeceased by his beloved basset hound, Bella, who was a faithful companion to the family.

Jon was a graduate (1989) of the Norwalk Public School system. His education formed the foundation of a successful career that was marked by a tremendous work ethic and a willingness to help others. Jon's colleagues will remember him for his steadfast friendship that extended beyond the confines of the workplace. Jon took pride in his work – being employed for approximately the past 20 years holding many positions with his final role as a Field Services Manager and did everything for his customers.

Jon's life was not only defined by his work but also by his passions. He relished spending time with his family, whether it was road trips, watching sunrises at the beach, or swimming in the ocean, lakes, and pools. Jon was a dedicated supporter of his children's sports games and competitions, always present in the stands, cheering them on with great pride and excitement.

An avid New York Yankees fan, Jon's love for baseball was infectious. His enthusiasm for the sport was evident in his knowledge of the game and his unwavering support for his favorite team.

Jon was a man of many admirable qualities. He was loving, always putting the needs of others before his own. He had a funny side that could lighten any situation with a well-timed joke or a humorous story. But perhaps most importantly, Jon was generous, not just with his resources, but with his time and his spirit. He gave freely of himself to those around him, making their lives richer for having known him.

As we remember Jon, we celebrate a life well-lived, a man who loved deeply, laughed heartily, and gave generously. His memory will continue to inspire and guide those who were fortunate enough to have known him. Jonathan E. Brien, a loving husband, a devoted father, a cherished son, a loyal brother, and a steadfast friend, will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
