It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brian Jeffry Healy, born on June 4, 1976, in River Falls, WI, who left us on April 13, 2025. Brian lived in Webster, NY, and those who knew him will forever cherish his vibrant spirit and larger-than-life personality.
Brian was many things to many people—funny, intelligent, loving and thoughtful. He had a knack for making everyone laugh with his quick wit and impeccable delivery. He loved to tell stories, and he had one that applied to nearly every situation. He was exceptionally intelligent, with an incredible memory and vast knowledge on a variety of topics, yet he wore that intelligence with a humble grace. Above all, Brian was a family man. He showed his love in countless ways, from whipping up special meals for family to bringing home flowers every week for his wife, Stacy Jo, to surprising his children, Chloe and Alex, with treats and gifts that brought smiles to their faces. He knew how to make those he cared for feel special.
A man of many passions, Brian enjoyed hunting, fishing, cooking, playing video games, watching movies, learning about history, and spending time with his dog. He had a deep connection with his German Shepherd, Harley, who loved her “Daddy” tremendously. With his deep voice and big heart, Brian loved fiercely and completely, leaving a lasting impact on everyone around him. He often shared wise lessons and encouraging words, motivating others to be strong, stay positive, and believe in themselves.
Brian is survived by his loving wife, Stacy Jo; his cherished children, Chloe and Alex; his father, Steven Healy, and stepmother, Janice; his sisters, Stephanie and Megan, along with their husbands, Ron and Jason, and their children, Brode, Ella, Tyler, and McKay; as well as many other treasured family members. He is preceded in death by his beloved mother, Pamela; and paternal grandparents Mildred and James Healy; maternal grandparents Eileen and Armond Jensen.
In honor of Brian’s life and legacy, friends and family gathered at the First Congregational Church (110 N 3rd St.) River Falls for a visitation at 3:00 PM on April 23, 2025, followed by a memorial service at 5:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred.
Brian, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace.
Arrangements are with Bakken-Young Funeral & Cremation Services.

I had the great opportunity to work with Brian during the last year. He had an uncanny ability to connect with people and loved to tell stories- it was one of the first things I noticed about him. In my last conversation with Brian, he told me to ‘stay positive’ and I have thought on this advice constantly over the last few days- I am doing my best. I will truly miss, Brian, and want to express my deepest condolences to the family. He was truly a very special person.
I had the opportunity to work with Brian over the last year and, while we didn’t work together daily, my time spent with him was always a pleasure & bound to make me laugh. Brian will be missed greatly & I send my deepest condolences to the family.
Brian was my boss and definitely had a great spirit. He was a people person for sure. I loved hearing his stories. Brian will be missed by so many of us. He loved his wife deeply and will always talk about Chloe and Alex and of course his German Shepherd. Brian will be missed dearly by everyone that knew him. My condolences to his family. Work will feel different without you. Thanks for the Shamrock shakes and always having candy for us.
My family has had the pleasure of living across the street from Brian and his beautiful family for 8 years. Brian was such a funny and friendly man and it was always a comfort to me having him close by. He was so clearly such an incredible husband and father to his wife, daughter, and son. His presence will be so greatly missed. May memories of his life always bring a smile to those that love him.
I have only heard of Brian thru stories shared by Stacy Jo. I’ve held a special place in my heart for them from the time Stacy Ko became my supervisor at the VOA. My heart breaks for them. My arms want to hug all the hurt away though I know it is not possible. I’ve no more words, just a heart that longs to help heal another.
I am heartbroken to hear this. I am so deeply sorry 💔🙏🏻💔 sending you all big love, peace and strength.
I had Brian in 5th grade. That must have been 1988. I still remember him as a bright, well mannered young man with a ready smile who was kind to others. What a sad thing to lose him so young. My condolences to his lovely family. 💔
Heartbroken to hear about the loss of Brian. Brian and I worked together for many years. He was kindhearted, hard working and we had some wonderful chats over the years. Condolences to his friends and family….RIP Brian!
I am so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends. I hadn’t seen Brian in years. I remember babysitting for him and the girls when they were little. He always had a big heart even as a little guy.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
I can’t find the words to express how sorry I am to hear Brian is no longer with us! I remember when I had the interview with him, I was very nervous and not very confident about anything but with his positivity and good vibe and some funny quotes, he made me feel relaxed and the “cold interview” changed to a nice chat about what I can bring into the team and how this will improve my professional experience. I know he was GS lover and a loving husband and father, he always talked so lovely about his family. I’m really sorry he had to go so young and leaving so many people behind. RIP Brian!
I worked with Brian over the last year, and he had such a kind soul and huge heart; he brought positive energy into every interaction we had. His eyes would brighten when he talked about his family and we both have German Shepherds so we’d inevitably talk about the dogs. We will miss him greatly and my heart is broken for Stacy Jo, Chloe, Alex, Harley, and all of his family. Sending love and prayers to you all. Rest in peace my friend.
I had a privilege to work with Brian during the last year. It is incredibly hard to say goodbye to such a kind and dedicated colleague. He will be remembered not only for his professionalism, but also for the genuine care and kindness he showed to everyone around him. My deepest condolences to his family during this incredibly difficult time.
So very sorry to learn of your loss. We were at our condo the day this happened and were both shocked and saddened by this. Please accept our sincere condolences. PJ and MJ Schuman, unit 1736.
praying for strength and healing for you
I still can’t believe I’m writing in memory of Brian, he was my colleague and a few years later, my boss. I last saw him in October 2019, when a company workshop was held in Rochester. He always had a positive attitude and no matter how complicated the situation seemed, his motto was: don’t worry about it! That’s what I learned from him and that’s what I try to pass on to my son – anything can be fixed, except death. My sincere condolences to his family at this very difficult time. May God rest your soul, good man!
As I try to find the perfect words to say about this great family man that had such pure goodness running through his veins I start to feel extreme sadness for his family. We met Brian and his family 7 years ago when they adopted precious Harley from us. We dropped in one to twice a year to visit and see Harley. We enjoyed his stories about her and you knew he adored her. We sure will miss seeing you every summer. Rest in peace Brian. Our thoughts and prayers to your precious family and to sweet Harley.
I was Brain’s Fifth Grade Teacher. He was a joy to have in my class every single day. He loved to learn and he was so very respectful to all the other students. My deepest sympathy to his lovely family members at this painful time.
