Brian Christopher Wagner
Age 52, of Lansing, MI, passed away on April 26, 2024, after a six-year battle with cancer. He was born August 14, 1971, in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to Eugene and Mary Wagner. Brian graduated from Holt High School in 1989. He worked at MasTec Network Solutions as a Senior Project Manager. Brian loved what he did and was great at it. His faith was a very strong part of his life, and he was an active member of his church. He loved University of Michigan football (Go Blue!) and was a Manchester City Football Club superfan. Brian loved the summer months when he could work in the yard with his wife, Pamela. He also grew a passion for grilling and smoking meats, much to the enjoyment of his family. The show Bar Rescue was his favorite.
Brian was a devoted family man and a beloved friend to many. He is survived by his wife of 11 years (18 years together), Pamela R. Wagner; two children, Russell Bernheisel and Ryan (Lisa) Patten; two grandchildren, Izzy and Piper Patten; and brother, Patrick Wagner. He was preceded in death by his parents.
The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at St. Gerard Catholic Church, 4437 W. Willow Hwy, Lansing, where his family will receive friends beginning at 12:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Gerard Catholic Church or Rogel Cancer Center.
Arrangements are by the Estes-Leadley Greater Lansing Chapel.

I never got the opportunity to meet you but I’ve known your wife literally my whole lives. When you get to those pearly gates ask for Old Bob Alward. My dad is a great guy and he’ll show you around.
Anyways, my prayers to Pam, kids and grandkids. I knew Pam from elementary and we just never got the chance to reconnect….. yet
