Brian Kunkel Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Brian Kunkel (Reno, Nevada), who passed away on May 23, 2026, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Brian Kunkel to show support.

As we bid Brian farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Brian is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his grandparents, Ivan and Mabel Kunkel. He is survived by: his parents, Rodney Kunkel and Jacqueline Kunkel; his wife Eliana Kunkel; his sister Adrianne Kunkel; his brother-in-law John Conover; and his grandparents, Joseph and Rose-Marie Stracco.

In lieu of flowers, Brian's family respectfully requests monetary donations be sent to Caring for Canines of Phoenix AZ in his name.
