Brian E. Bish, 54, of Jamestown, passed away unexpectedly on the morning of April 15, 2022 from a massive heart attack.

He was born on July 28th, 1967. The son of R. Edward Bish and Carol G. Bish (Fair). He married his wife Michelle Pinney on June 3rd, 1989.

Brian graduated from Jamestown High School in 1985 and went on to continue his education at Slippery Rock University. While in college, Brian served for the Jamestown Fire Department as an EMT. Brian, successfully ran Pymatuning taxidermy while he worked at Jamestown Coating Technology for many years. He and his wife Michelle owned and operated Timberland Frame and Floral, and First Choice Signs and Awards in Conneaut Lake, PA. He was recently working at the United States Postal Service in Ohio, where flags were flown at half staff to honor his death.

He was a member of Greenville Elks Lodge #145 and the Jamestown Fireman's Club. He lived at the Pymatuning Century club with his wife and children for 31 years, as caretakers.

Brian enjoyed being outdoors partaking in activities like camping, golfing, walking in the woods, hunting, and most of all fishing. You could always find Brian on his pontoon boat watching the sunset with his family and two dogs. When he wasn’t outside, Brian spent most of his time with his family and friends. Those close to him understood his sense of humor and sarcasm. He loved playing darts with his granddaughter every morning, grilling dinner, taking the corvette for a ride, going to dinner with neighbors, and cruising the Caribbean with his family. His favorite thing to do was going to breakfast every Sunday with Michelle. He was always there to offer a lending hand, a laugh, or his latest homemade dessert.

In addition to his wife Michelle, Brian is survived by two daughters, Kylie L. Bish and Courtney L. Bish. One granddaughter, Brooklyn A. Blakemore. His mother Carol G. Bish (Fair), his brother Dennis Bish, his wife Laurie Bish, and their children Benjamin and Launa Bish all of Jamestown. Along with many family members from Ford City, Ford Cliff, and State College.

Brian is preceded in death by his father R. Edward Bish and his brother, Bradley Bish. Along with in-laws, Daryl and Hilda Pinney.

Brian will continue to live on in the hearts of all the people he has touched. God has him in his keeping, we have him in our memories. His family would like to thank all family, friends, neighbors, and P.C.C Members for their support and love at this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Pymatuning Century Club, for a memorial gazebo that Brian was planning to build in the spring. Contributions can be sent to P.C. Club 49818, Peppercorn Drive, East Palestine Ohio, 44413.

    Michelle & family: Shock and disbelief . . . Words cannot come close to expressing my condolences to you and your family for your loss. You and Brian always are welcoming to us at PCC and easily made people laugh. Won’t be the same without Brian . . . Will miss him alot, a great guy . . . But, he’ll always be remembered, though, and every time I go sailing at the club.

    I just recently got acquainted with Brian, at the Williamsfield Post Office. Right from the start, I knew he was perfect for the job! He was so very friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to do things for folks. He was so conscientious about his job. He worked very hard, but never complained. He had double-duty, as he worked at the Andover office mornings and came to Williamsfield to finish out the day. He and I laughed at the difference between the two offices. Everything in Andover is computerized, but in Williamsfield, we had an adding machine! His sense of humor was so refreshing. I could tell how much he loved his family, his job at the club, and just life in general. He was a fellow that soon made you feel as if you knew him all your life.
    I want to express deepest sympathy to you, his family. The loss you must feel is unimaginable. He may not walk this earth any longer, but in your hearts, he will always walk with you. God Bless you.
