Brian Stade, age 66, of Vineland was born on September 19, 1959 and passed away on Thursday, December 4, 2025. Brian lived a life defined by hard work, dedication, and a deep passion for anything with an engine. From an early age, he was drawn to vehicles and mechanics—a passion that grew into a lifelong career.

Brian is survived by his sons, Steven (Stephanie) and Matthew (Ashley); and his grandsons, Brody, Wesley, and Brock. He also shared many years of his life with Jacki, with whom he built a family and lasting memories.
