Brian E. Sheffield 1960-2022

Brian was born Dec. 10, 1960, in Youngstown, a son of the late Charles E. Sheffield and Ruth Allene Millard Sheffield, and was a lifelong area resident.

He was a 1979 graduate of Chaney High School, where he was a member of the football team and was named All-City Selection.

Brian was a partner of Best Waterproofing with his brother, Chuck and son, Jarrod, providing quality waterproofing service to residents of the Mahoning Valley for over 44 years. He was very proud of their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and Home Builders Association, and was very thankful for his many customers and their continued support throughout the years.

Brian was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Austintown.

He greatly enjoyed detailing his cars, gambling, visiting casinos, cooking and hosting parties at his home in the pavilion in his backyard. Brian loved watching football and was an avid fan of the New York Jets and The Ohio State Buckeyes. He also enjoyed being outside, feeding the ducks and deer in his yard, and planting a large garden. In his younger days, Brian enjoyed fishing and hunting. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family.

Brian also enjoyed visiting the Canfield Fair and would often make a purchase to sponsor the 4-H Steer and Livestock Organization.
