Mr. Brian J. Feldt

Mr. Brian J. Feldt, age 46, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 23, 2013 at the Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare Center with his loving family by his side. Born in Hudson, NY on August 13, 1967, Brian was the son of Janet (Callahan) Feldt and the late Theodore John Feldt, Jr. Raised and educated in Syracuse, he graduated from West Hill High School/Class of 1985 and subsequently attended Onondaga Community College. A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Brian honorably served his country stationed in Germany. In St. Agnes Church on May 12, 1990, he married the former Kelly Nelson with whom he has shared 23 years. They were the love of each other’s life. Brian worked for Rite Aid Pharmacy as a security officer, and he also held a position at Centrex Labs as a Phlebotomist. In 1997 he began his employment with the Federal Prison System as a Corrections Officer attaining the rank of Lieutenant. Brian also served as a Volunteer Fireman for the New Hartford Fire Department. Always the joker, Brian was blessed with a lighthearted, happy personality and the ability to make those around him laugh. He was devoted to his family and involved in their lives and activities, especially his children. He enjoyed camping and spending time taking walks around the lake. In earlier years, he found fun in skiing the slopes. Brian is survived by his wife, Kelly; his sons, Timothy, and Bradley; his mother, Janet of Sebring, FL; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Nellis and Janice Nelson of N. Utica. In addition, he leaves his sister, Sharon Staub of Syracuse; his brother, Michael Feldt of Syracuse; several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and in-laws Tracy and Sean Galimo, Tammy LeFever, Michael and Diane Nelson, and Philip Nelson. A testament to Brian’s life is the many dear and cherished friendships he held, especially his camaraderie with Edward LeFever. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Leon and Beatrice Callahan, and Lucile and Theodore J. Feldt, Sr. The family is grateful to the staff of the Utica Fire Rescue Squad for the attention shown to Brian and his family. Brian’s family will honor and celebrate his life in a private gathering. By family request, please omit flowers. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc., 932 South St., corner of Hammond Ave.
