Brian J. Libby, 70, in his last days surrounded by family and friends, made the journey home to Heaven on Saturday March 15, 2025. Brian was born on March 9, 1955, in Bangor, to Vernon and Sherrill Libby. He grew up in Hermon and graduated from Hermon High School in 1973. Brian and his high school sweetheart Gayle Higgins were married in 1975, and raised two children, Angie and Bradley. During their years together they laughed and loved, instilling a deep connection of family with their children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, neighbors and friends.

Brian and his brother Steve started Libby Brothers Custom Homes in 1979, which they worked until 2022. He was passionate about building and many of his greatest stories were of his job site shenanigans. They built a reputation of producing stellar homes and created a successful name for themselves.

Brian enjoyed cooking and gardening. He was especially proud of his birds that visited his feeders, often eating out of his hands. Family dinners were his favorite, always filled with laughter, a little chaos, and a whole lot of love. He loved camping with family at Old Stream, where he treasured boat rides, fishing adventures and wild card games. Brian was a devoted husband, a wonderful and patient father and an extraordinary Grampa. His world revolved around his family. He was always partaking in activities at his grandkids request such as: ranger and boat rides, mad games of chess and cornhole, nature walks, milkshake-for-breakfast mornings and countless rides to check the bait.

Brian is predeceased by his parents, Sherrill and Vernon; brother and sister-in-law Steven and Rhonda Libby; niece Amanda Dandro. He is survived by his wife Gayle (Higgins) Libby; daughter Angie Pelletier and husband Eion; son Bradley Libby; grandchildren Collin, Andrew, Addison, and Lillian Rose; Sister Kimberly Dunton; Brother-in-law, Dennis Higgins and his wife Karen; and nieces and nephews, Bryan, Denys, Rachel, Justin and Ashlee; He is also survived by his dear friend Russ Stocker and his special neighbors, Rodney and Vicki McLaughlin all of whom held a special place in his heart.

A celebration of Brian's life will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, April 5, 2025 at Brookings-Smith, 133 Center St. Bangor. The family invites relatives and friends to share conversation and refreshments at the Family Reception Center of Brookings-Smith, 163 Center St. following the service.

All who knew and loved him are invited to attend. In lieu of flowers, Brian requested that donations be made to the Levant Fire Department 3917 Union St, Levant ME 04456.

Brian's legacy will live on in the love he shared and the countless lives he touched with his generous spirit, his laughter, and his unwavering devotion to his family and friends.
