Brian was born July 17, 1975 in Osborn, Kansas, the son of David and Rita (Kruger) McCall. He started his school years in Tescott, KS, Big Piney, WY, Agate, CO, Emporia, KS, finally graduating from Arkansas City High School Class of ’93. He was a talented artist, since his childhood. Brian was featured in local art exhibits. He attended Cowley County Community College (CCCC) before moving to Denver Colorado.

He also enjoyed music and played the guitar. He has written music as well. In 2015, following a shoulder injury, Brian returned to Kansas and lived in Wichita and Baldwin City while working to complete his Associates degree from CCCC then continued his studies at the University of Kansas, where he was working towards advanced degrees in history and philosophy. And of, course continuing his art and personal pursuit of knowledge beyond his required class studies.

    I met Brian when he played his guitar in the Classics Department at KU. The wonderful photo captures what a beautiful person he was. We will miss him.

    Mr. and Mrs. McCall,
    I just learned of Brian’s passing this afternoon. I am heartbroken for you, for your family, and my dear buddy from high school. I am so sorry for your loss. Brian was such a joyful person to have as a friend as he was sincerely interested in everything in life. We had years of art classes together, and I watched his art develop and mature. I loved going to his shows, and seeing how proud he was that he was becoming a professionally-producing artist. Time and distance and life made it so that we have not seen one another since our early college years. But this loss is as real and painful for me as if I had just seen him yesterday. What a wonderful young man your son was. I will always treasure our time goofing around, learning from him, and spending time with him. Being his friend special; it was always an adventure. I am praying for the repose of his precious soul, and I am keeping every one of you in my prayers. Eternal rest grant to Brian, Oh Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May Brian’s soul rest in peace through the Mercy of God. Amen.
