WARREN -- Robert Brian Williamson, 60, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2026.
He was born in Youngstown on Jan. 29, 1966, to loving parents, the late Robert Thomas and Berit Vivianne Williamson Jr.
Brian was a 1984 graduate of Boardman High School. After graduation, under the teaching and guidance of his father, he became a commercial roofer and estimator for Advanced Roofing Company and Roofers Local 71.
Brian enjoyed motocross racing, gardening and fishing. He never missed watching a NASCAR race.
Although he wished his life would have been different, he always would talk about the good times he had with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and his longtime friends -- every single one of them -- even into his final days.
Still, he had a heart of love and compassion -- he would lovingly reminisce about his good days.
Brian leaves behind his sister, Kelli (Mike) Vitko of Ellsworth; his stepmother, Susan Williamson of Canfield; and his companion, Cindy Campbell, with whom he made his home, along with his reused dog, Stella, of Warren.
Brian also leaves a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Brian's final wishes are being observed. He will be laid to rest next to his mom and dad in a private graveside service, officiated by Pastor Bob Quaintance of Good Hope Lutheran Church of Boardman, in Greenhaven Cemetery.
Brian's sister, Kelli, would like to thank the nurses and staff at the Hospice House, Washington Square Health Care, Pastor Bob Quaintance and Cousin Jodi Johnston for all their care, comfort and prayers.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Edward J. Fox and Sons Funeral Home, 4700 Market St., Boardman.
