William Briar
Of Susquehanna, PA


William Briar, age 51, of Susquehanna, PA, left this
world peacefully on March 10th, 2010. He was born on
December 26th, 1958. He was raised in Croydon, PA
and married his best friend Debbie, when he was 19
years old on July 8, 1978.

Bill and Deb spent 31 happy years together and made
the family that he left far too soon. He was survived by
his wife Debra Briar, parents Robert and Elizabeth
Briar, brothers Robert and James Briar and wife Anna,
mother-in-law Joyce Long, three daughters Mandi,
Erika, and Jessica Briar, three grandchildren Sophie,
Holden, and Macie, and several nieces and nephews.

Bill lived a happy life and dreamed big dreams he wasn’t
afraid to chase. He was a soldier, plumber, business
owner, truck driver, and DJ but the roles closest to his
heart were loving son, husband, father, and poppop. He
will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.
