Brian Paul Renz

Brian Paul Renz, age 52, of Austintown OH, passed away at Mercy Health - Youngstown, OH. He was born on November 28, 1972, in Newbury Park, MA to William and Philomena Renz. 

Brian graduated from Cabrillo High School in Lompoc, CA, and later moved to Austintown, OH in 2002. He met the love of his life, Lindsay Rusu, and the two were married on July 26, 2013. Together, they built a beautiful family with their two children, Mason and MacKenzie.

Brian was a dedicated employee at JetStream International in Niles and a loving husband and father who cherished every moment with his family. He found joy in playing basketball and spending quality time with his son Mason. With his daughter MacKenzie, he delighted in playing with Barbie dolls and happily received manicures from her. Family time was central to Brian’s life; he especially loved their weekly movie and game nights. His favorite moments were spent at home surrounded by his loving family.

An avid sports fan, Brian passionately supported the New York Yankees and Miami Dolphins. He lived by the motto "enjoy the little things in life," a sentiment he embraced wholeheartedly.

Brian will be deeply missed by his loving family, including his mother-in-law Michelle Rusu (Greg Lindsay) of Hubbard, Ohio; father-in-law Tim Rusu of Austintown; sister-in-law Jennifer (Jeffrey) Koontz of Diamond, Ohio; nephews Zachary and Noah Koontz; niece Eliana Koontz; and his beloved dogs Sadie Jane and Rio.

May Brian’s memory bring comfort to all who knew him and inspire others to cherish life’s simple joys as he did.
