Brian Wayne Vance, 51, of Mooresville, passed away unexpectedly while at work on Wednesday, April 12, 2017. Born March 24, 1966 in Madison, Indiana, Brian was the son of the late Bill Vance and Betty Jean (Sallee) Vance. On May 31, 1986 at Open Door Baptist Church in Deputy, Indiana, Brian was united in marriage to his loving wife, Nancy (Buxton) Vance.

After high school, Brian attended Ball State University.
