Mr. Brian Craig Pressnall, of Roswell, GA, passed away on January 25, 2025, at the early age of 54. After a hard-fought fight, Brian's illness took over. He passed away surrounded by his incredible family and so many loved ones. To say he is loved is an understatement.
He is survived by his loving wife of almost 24 years, Samantha, and his four amazing children – Joshua, Matthew, Tyler, and Gabriella. He is also survived by his large close-knit family. His mother, Pat Pressnall, his siblings – Donna (Mark), Kim, Penny (Troy), Randy (Denise), Darrell (Mindy), Angie (Chris), Bradley (Kellie), Derek, Darci (Jason), father-in-law, Sam Leder, sister-in-law, Jennifer (Adam), too many nieces and nephews to name, and tons of friends.
Brian was preceded in death by his father, Richard (Dick) Pressnall, both his maternal and paternal grandparents, and his mother-in-law, Jo Ann Leder.
Brian, affectionately known as "Big Daddy" to his friends and family, always had a smile on his face. He never met a person he did not like, and he truly did not have a mean bone in his body. He was always willing to help whenever needed. He had a huge heart and even at the very end he never complained and was more worried about his family over himself.
Brian was an exceptional husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He loved his family more than anything in the world and did everything in his power to make them feel safe and taken care of. As a husband, Brian was loving, loyal, supportive, and willing to do anything for his wife.
Sports were his passion, and his children kept that passion alive. In his younger years, to say Brian was a star athlete would be an understatement. He was always excelling in football, baseball, and any sport he tried.
Brian was a prominent member of the Roswell community. He gave so much time and love to members in the community through his coaching efforts. Over the years he has coached so many sports - football, baseball, basketball, and softball. Through his coaching, he was a mentor to both his kids and many others. In addition, as his children got older Brian could always be seen sitting in the stands attending and supporting their many sporting events. His greatest joy has been watching his children thrive whether it was academically, or athletically. Brian was always his children's biggest cheerleader and refused to miss a game or any special event unless he had to.
One of Brian's biggest passions and love was for the Georgia Bulldogs. Football Saturdays were his favorite time of the year. Spending time with his family watching the Bulldogs gave him immense joy. It would only be appropriate to end this with:

GO DAWGS!
