March 6, 1970 - May 12, 2016
Resided in Pigeon Forge, TN
Brian Mark Rolen, age 46, of Pigeon Forge, passed away on Thursday, May 12, 2016 at 12:22 PM.
On Thursday, Brian's Heavenly Father lovingly took Brian's hand and walked with him to his new heavenly home. Brian was born in Knoxville, Tennessee on March 6, 1970 and resided in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. He attended Pigeon Forge Elementary and Sevier County High School.
Since a small boy, Brian showed great interest in trucks, cars, motorcycles and NASCAR racing. He was an avid collector of hats, shirts and magazines of his interest in NASCAR and car shows. Blaine always took Brian to all the car and truck shows in Pigeon Forge which he looked so forward to. Brian's biggest surprise was his NASCAR racing jacket that his Uncle Sonny brought to him and a Harley Racing jacket from Blaine. These jackets were his pride and joy.
An avid collector of country music, Brian loved listening and telling you the name of the CD and who was singing it. Brian loved life and he loved his family. No conversation was ended or a good-bye said without ending in "I love you".
Brian was preceded in death by his father, Otha Blaine Rolen; grandparents, Beecher and Sarah Rolen; grandfather, Reed Joseph Vassar, Sr., along with several close aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who he sadly missed.
Brian leaves behind his mother and step-father, Harold and Patricia Wright; brother, Blaine Rolen; nana, Lenola G. Vassar of Newport; nephew, Kendall Rolen; aunts, Archie Testerman, VA; Agnes Williams, Sevierville; Marguerite Vassar, Knoxville; Betsy Huff, Jefferson City; uncles, R.J. "Sonny" (Brenda) Vassar, Michael (Vicki) Vassar, Richard (Cindi) Vassar, all of Newport; a host of cousins and friends; special friends, Ray and Mary Ann Wright, Wanda and Sam Padgett, Marge Tarwater, Tim, Paul and Megan Campbell, Earlene Cole, Ann King; and Brian's very special friend, Sherry Hurst.
