Brian K. James, 65, of Beaver, passed away on January 16th, 2026, at Heritage Valley Sewickley Hospital, surrounded by his loving family, listening to the music he loved. He was born in Easton, Pennsylvania on February 29th, 1960, a son of the late Ruth Jean (Coyle) James and Howard James. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brother-in-law, Jack Emery. He is survived by his wife of some 35 years, Susan (Webb) James, daughters, Alina and Sabrina James, his brothers: “Mike” (Patricia), Patrick (Renee), Thomas (Amy) and Greg (Debbie); as well as his sister, Barbara Emery, his mother and father-in-law, Ruthann (Jack)  Webb, his sisters and brothers-in-law, Wendy (Joe) Hammel and Cathy (Kurt) Lane; as well as many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and many friends.

Brian was a husband, father, musician, artist and athlete. He was the kind of guy you meet and 12 minutes later, he’ll make you feel like an old friend. The Phillies, The Cowboys, Talking Heads, and Springsteen: his passion for his favorites was endless and enthusiastic. Oh, and he was hilarious. Completely hilarious and could have you laughing like crazy, often at his own expense. He was a graduate of Phillipsburg Catholic High School and Moravian University (class of 1983), Brian knew the secret of making friends; and keeping friends. The best guys; the funniest friends with the craziest stories….the kind you can have only with lifelong friends. He was the first person to support you in every way; to respond to your ideas with a smile and an enthusiastic exclamation like “That’s tremendous!”

Family meant everything to Brian and although his illness posed many significant challenges,  his resolve was formidable, and he made it his goal to be at as many family events as possible, especially over the past few years. His beautiful daughters, Alina and Sabrina, were the jewels of his life, and he supported their many activities and took so much pride in their accomplishments. His wife Susan was his strongest, most loving advocate, and they built a life together for some 35 years. Even as they faced Brian’s health challenges together, they shared a partnership filled with love.

Friends will be received on Monday, January 19th from 3 P.M. until the time of services at 7 P.M. in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, who was in charge of his arrangements.

From an early age, Kristina was deeply rooted in her faith and remained a devoted churchgoer throughout her life. In high school, she found joy and belonging in marching band and color guard, passions that reflected her creativity, discipline, and love of teamwork. She pursued higher education with a focus on becoming an educator. She spent years substitute teaching and leading classrooms across multiple high schools, while also instructing high school color guard. Teaching was never just a job for her. It was an extension of her instinct to guide, encourage, and lift others. In 2011, she married Eryck Webb in East Liverpool, Ohio, and together they made their home in Midland, Pennsylvania. Their life was full of shared adventures, quiet devotion, and deep partnership. She poured her care outward.

She also managed the financial side of Eryck’s art business, bringing order, steadiness, and support behind the scenes. She and Eryck loved exploring state parks with their dogs and traveling together across the country. Along the way, she delighted in collecting shot glasses and refrigerator magnets. She dipped her toes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, two of the Great Lakes, and the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, a small but joyful tradition that reflected her curiosity and sense of wonder. Despite enduring immense physical pain and uncertainty throughout her illness, she consistently focused on lifting others. She was known for her kindness and her steady optimism and humor. She had a joke ready for every member of her medical team and never lost her ability to laugh, even in the hardest moments. Her courage was quiet but unwavering, marked by grace, generosity, and an unshakable concern for those around her. She was an avid reader, and libraries meant a lot to her. She encourages everyone, instead of sending flowers, to send a donation to your local library.
