Brian Koester, 36, Ormond Beach, Fla., passed away Saturday, May 27, 2023, at Halifax Medical Center, Daytona Beach.

Brian was kind and hardworking. He always gave himself fully to everything he did, be that big or small. He strived to be the best version of himself at all times. Everyone who knew him could tell you how rare it was to know someone so genuine and sincere. With such a huge heart and this unique, hearty, warm laugh that made you feel like there wasn't a worry in the world. Brian loved spending time with his family the most! If he wasn't chasing Audrey around the park or floating around the pool with her, you could catch him blasting music and fishing at his favorite spots. Brian will be deeply missed by many.

Brian is survived by his wife, Daniella, and daughter, Audrey Rose, Ormond Beach; parents, Ted and Kris Koester, Jonesborough, Tenn.; sister, Elizabeth Moore, her husband, Jason, and niece, Lily, DeLand.

Services for Brian will be private.
