Brian Douglas MEIER

Brian Douglas Meier, 56, passed away in his home in St. Charles. He was born Dec 8th, 1966 in Burbank, California. Father of his only child, Christopher Meier, of which he spoiled endlessly. Beloved son of the late Gloria Dickherber and Douglas Meier. Cherished brother of Gregory Meier, Gina Mackay, and Brandon Meier; and a treasured uncle of Jacob Baxley, son of Gina. Brian was a cat person through and through and loved taking pictures and playing with his two boys Peanut and Smokey. After being born in California his family settled in St. Charles where Brian grew up among many friends. Brian joined the military after high school to serve in the Navy. Stationed throughout California, he would eventually train to become an Advanced Medical Laboratory Technician through the Naval School of Health Sciences in San Diego. He graduated with honors in July of 1991 and was honorably discharged when his service was completed. After his service in the Navy, Brian became a lab technician where he helped those in need for 30 years at Saint Joseph Hospital in St. Charles. His team in the lab regarded him as being one of the nicest people they knew. He acted as the knowledge base for his coworkers and was always so nice and easy to approach. When he wasn’t planning trips to Colorado with his favorite truck, he was planning on buying the latest gadget. From computers, cameras, and phones to things like electric bikes and mowers, he was always onto the latest thing. He regarded his son Christopher as being the best thing that’s ever happened to him. He spoiled him rotten and was always supportive of him. He held onto any accolade his son achieved, from grade school report cards to honor roll awards. He took full advantage of being the fun parent and always looked forward to his son’s visits. So many of Brian’s interests brushed off onto his son. Christopher loved his father so much. Every interest in photography needs to have a good subject. Brian took countless photos of his two kitties, Peanut and Smokey. He loved these two boys, and he leaves behind an extensive archive of adorable pictures and videos of them. Brian loved the affection and companionship his cats offered and spoiled them rotten as well. It was a common sight seeing cat toys strewn throughout his cat tree-filled home as remnants of games of fetch with his boys. Brian was too great of a guy to not be missed. His friends and family have cherished their time with him, and they will miss him dearly.
