[br][br]Brian John Day, 53, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 15, 2015, after a 2-year courageous battle with cancer. He was born August 24, 1961, in Millington, TN, to Robert and Helen Day. He was a graduate of Ferris High School and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Washington State University. He worked as an environmental regulatory specialist at Hanford Site in Richland WA for several decades. Brian truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with and helping family and friends, playing and watching sports (especially the Seahawks), and spending time with his beloved dog, Xena, at dog parks in both Richland and Spokane. Brian had an uncanny ability to reach people in positive ways through his extraordinary humor, compassion, and patience. He is survived by his mother, Helen Day; a sister, Valerie Rhodes; a brother, Craig Day; nephew and niece, Corey and Clara Day; a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins; and, of course, many friends (especially those from the dog parks that became family). Memorials may be made to the Hospice House of Spokane; services will be held in the Spring.
