He joined the Marine Corps after graduation and became an avionics technician for the Presidential Helicopter Squadron, Marine One. He was eventually selected to serve as a Marine Crew Chief for President George H. W. Bush. As a Marine, he was able to visit every state in America, along with Mexico, Korea, Iraq, Kuwait, Japan, and Australia. After his six years of service, Brian decided he would rather fly helicopters than work on them. He obtained his pilot’s license on his own while working for AgRotors/Haverfield as a mechanic. It was there that he learned how to utilize the helicopter for work around electric transmission and distribution lines. He was then hired by Aerial Solutions to trim trees along power line right-of-ways by using a large saw beneath the aircraft. Ten years ago, Brian began working for his dream company, Tennessee Valley Authority, where he was able to return to transmission line work and even help develop their Helicopter Line Construction Program. Brian met and married the girl he first saw as a young Marine, stationed in Millington, TN. Brian and Kellan were married for thirty-one years. Together, they were able to travel around the country with his work and even scuba dive in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. They had two beautiful daughters, Jenna Noel Lacks and Abigail Rose (Abby) Lacks, who were the love of his life. He was also survived by his parents, James and Deanna Lacks. He was a passionate man who loved fiercely and deeply, a wonderful husband and a devoted father and son. A Christian, who secretly gave of himself to help others, making sure no one knew he was involved. He will be greatly missed. The family received friends Sept. 23 at Central Baptist Church until the service. Interment will be at in Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery at Parkers Crossroads in Wildersville.
