Brian Dosela

Brian Dosela, born on August 13, 1971, in San Carlos, Arizona, departed this earthly life on November 20, 2025. He was a gentle soul whose laughter and love painted the canvas of many lives. From his beginnings, Brian understood the beauty of connection, nurturing bonds that would ripple through the tapestry of his family, friends, and those fortunate enough to encounter his humor and warmth.

Having graduated from Ft. Thomas High School in May of 1989, Brian ventured into the world equipped not only with education but with a spirit ready to embrace life’s joys and tribulations. He dedicated his professional life to the Apache Gold Casino, working diligently in maintenance yard work. His gentle hands ensured that the grounds remained pristine, reflecting his quiet dedication and strong work ethic.

Brian was not just a steadfast worker; he was a true connoisseur of laughter. He had an extraordinary gift for telling jokes, weaving humor effortlessly into conversation. Initially a quiet and serious individual, Brian blossomed as friendships deepened, revealing a personality that thrived on connection, laughter, and music. He cherished the candid moments spent with family and friends, where time seemed to linger a bit longer, and the laughter rang just a little louder.

Among the treasures of Brian's heart was his profound love for his nephews. He kept their pictures close, tucked away in his wallet, serving as daily reminders of his affection and the legacy of joy he wished to pass down. His heart resonated with a genuine love that felt as vast as the Arizona skies.

Brian is survived by his brothers, Darrell, Marcello, and Emmett Dosela, who will forever hold his memory dear. He was welcomed into the arms of those who departed before him, including his father, Franklin Dosela, and his mother, Connie Longstreet. The void they leave in the wake of their absence will be filled with fond memories, shared stories, and the laughter that will echo in the hearts of all who loved him.

As we gather to celebrate Brian's life, we invite all who knew him to join in remembrance and homage to a man whose laughter was a beacon of light.

A heartfelt funeral service will be held at Anderson Church on the same day, commencing at 11:00 AM, before proceeding to Middle Mesa Cemetery for the burial at 1:00 PM.

Brian Dosela’s essence remains alive in the humor he gifted to others, the love he instilled in his family, and the memories that will forever dance in the hearts of those who cherished him. As we bid farewell, we do so not with sadness alone but with deep gratitude for having known a soul as kind and joyful as Brian.
