Brian Paul Conrad, age 48, of Hancock, Wisconsin, passed away on July 27, 2026.

Brian grew up in Rockton, Illinois, and attended Hononegah High School, where he was a standout athlete playing football, baseball, and basketball. A hardworking entrepreneur, Brian went on to build and own his own business, Security Tech Inc.

Known for his quick wit and generous heart, Brian brought passion to everything he did. Beyond his work, Brian’s greatest joy in life was his family. His world revolved around his children and grandchildren, and he cherished every moment spent with them. An outdoorsman at heart, he loved hunting and fishing, and he enjoyed expressing his creativity through laser engraving projects. He was also a passionate sports fan—always rooting for the Raiders and the Chicago White Sox—and a lifelong, avid Star Wars fan.

Brian is survived by his four children: Cierra (27), Jacob (25), Jonathan (21), and Hannah (11); his beloved grandchildren, Eleanor (2) and Amelia (2); his mother, Lora; his sister, Nancy GeRue (Brett); and his brother, Terry Conrad (Christina), and his many beloved nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Paul, his stepmother, Sheryl and his godparents Marjorie Conrad and Willis Abeggelan.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, August 8th, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Prince of Peace Church (2336 Freeport Rd Rockton, IL 61072), with the funeral service beginning at 11:00 AM. A luncheon will follow the service, followed by a private family burial.
