Brian Thoe obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved father, step-father, partner, family member and friend.
Brian Donald Thoe of Lake City, aka Bad Boy Brian, born on October 2, 1971 passed away on June 1, 2026, on his terms, at his home in the Haven. His greatest joy was his daughter Alice. His second joy was making people laugh. That is what entertainers do!
Brian is survived by his daughter, Alice; his mother, Aleta Thoe; his sister, Kathy Schwarzhoff; his girlfriend, Tabitha Vossen and her daughter Payton Vossen; Mandy Nelson, Alexis Julson, Anthony Nelson; and four beautiful grandchildren.
There will be a dual Celebration for Brian and his dad, Donald Thoe who passed two weeks before him, on July 11, 2026 at Ohuta Park near the beach at 1 p.m., with a gathering at the VFW in Lake City afterwards.
