Brian Francis Kozumplik Obituary (1953 - 2017)

Brian Francis Kozumplik passed away June 25, 2017, after a short, but valiant fight against esophageal cancer. Brian was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He was the son of Joseph and Eugenia Kozumplik, both deceased. He went to Crespi Carmelite High School in Los Angeles, and graduated from Portland State University, Oregon, with a B.A. in Business Administration in 1991. While at Portland State he was a member of the Phi Kappa Phi and Beta Gamma Sigma honor societies. Brian began his career as an examiner with the FDIC immediately after graduation, and worked there for 26 years. He was a Senior Compliance Examiner with the Salt Lake City Field Office when he passed away. Brian won many awards while at the FDIC, including the Chairman’s Excellence Award, and he was legendary for his competence, intelligence, and dry wit. He will be greatly missed by the numerous colleagues he trained and worked with throughout his career. Brian loved baseball, camping, fishing, and going to Las Vegas. His retirement dream was to travel widely, and to visit every major-league baseball stadium in America. He is survived by his sister Jane Twomey, who lives in Maryland with her husband Patrick, and by Marina Dawn Fifield, of San Antonio, Texas. In keeping with Brian's wishes, there will be no service.
