Celebrating the life of

Brian Lee Solis

February 02, 1978 - February 02, 2020

Brian Lee Solis

Brian Lee Solis passed away peacefully on his 42nd birthday at Tampa General Hospital surrounded by his family.

Born in Chicago, Illinois on February 2, 1978, he was the son of Ronald and Carol Solis and brother of Peter and Faye, his twin sister.  He grew up and lived most of his adult life in Savannah, Georgia graduating from Hershel V. Jenkins High School in 1996.  He was a veteran of the United States Navy where he served as an Aviation Electrician’s Mate (AE) stationed in Jacksonville, Florida.

Known affectionately as “Uncle Buck” to those he loved and who loved him dearly, he will always be remembered for his legendary sense of humor and ardent love of music.  His selfless desire to help his family and friends in any way he could was a demonstration of just how loving and generous he was.  His departure from this world is leaving behind many broken hearts.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Peter and Anna Solis; and maternal grandparents, George and Mary Schulte.

He is survived by his parents, Ronald and Carol; brother, Peter and sister-in-law, Wimberly; sister, Faye and brother-in-law, Gary; nephews, Edward and Harrison; and niece, Alexandra.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Monday, February 17, 2020 at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, the family request that contributions be made in memory of Brian Solis to the University of South Florida’s Morsani College of Medicine, Internal Medicine Resident Education Fund (#250032).  https://giving.usf.edu/online/gift/f/250032/

Faye: We were talking about Brian just the other day in reference to his writing. He told me he couldn't write when he was in the seventh grade. I told him he could. I remember the argument vividly as he was always contentious when it came to his abilities in the classroom. I refused to buy into his lack of faith in himself and forced him to write what turned out to be an incredible piece. I can still remember that moment when he realized that he could write and not only well, but made me proud. His smile was always the most beautiful thing about Brian. That and his precious sidekick, you, his twin sister. I never know why that those we love most have a way of leaving us before we are able to cope with them not being here, but then again, that would be never, were it in our hands. I hope you know how much he was loved by this teacher. Please let me know if you all are having a service for him. Beth Faris

- Elizabeth A. Faris, Cumming, GA
