Brian H. Lacey, 62, of Walton, passed away Friday morning, Oct. 7, 2022, at Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie, following a long illness.
Brian was born Jan. 19, 1960 in Mineola, Long Island, the son of Hugh E. and Roberta (Simms) Lacey. Brian was a hard-working man - he worked in Oklahoma for many years as a heavy equipment operator, and then in New York. He also worked in Delhi at the creamery.
Brian was a friendly man who loved his family and spending time with them. He enjoyed having cookouts in his yard with his family and friends. He also was an avid NASCAR fan and also enjoyed watching football. Brian’s main hobby was renovating his 1951 Chevy Bel Air Deluxe - he put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in it but when it was finished it looked like it was new. He enjoyed taking his classic car on rides around town.
Brian is survived by his loving family, his mother Roberta (Simms) Lacey, wife Tami Lacey, and son Brandon Lacey of Illinois; grandson Jamieson; brothers John (Diane) Lacey of Barton, David Lacey of Oneonta, Kevin Lacey of Walton, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was predeceased by his father Hugh E. Lacey in 1973.
Family and friends were invited to call Wednesday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, 25 Benton Avenue, Walton. A funeral mass was held at 11 a.m. with Rev. Edward J. Golding, celebrant. Burial followed in Paige Cemetery, Downsville.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Courtney Funeral Home, Walton. Condolences to the family may be made at courtneyfh.com.
