John “Bryan” Buhrlage

John Bryan Buhrlage, born September 21, 1960 and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on October 29, 2025. He was a longtime resident of Mason, Ohio.

Bryan was the beloved son of the late John and Janet (Gross) Buhrlage, and the devoted brother of Barbara (Daniel T) Hill. He was a proud uncle to his nephew, Matthew J Hill, and was preceded in death by his nephew, Daniel T. Hill Jr. He is also survived by his uncle, Stanley D. Edgemon, along with several cousins and many dear friends who will deeply miss him.

A graduate of Madeira High School class of 1979 , Bryan went on to attend Xavier University, where he nurtured his curiosity and love of learning. He was a passionate ham (amateur) radio operator and spent many years working as a dispatcher in Madeira, where his dedication, steady presence, and strong work ethic earned the respect of everyone around him.

Brian’s vision never defined him; he faced every challenge with courage and never let it hold him back from doing what he loved.

Bryan had a creative spirit and a love for all things technical. He found joy in music, art, and spending time on his computer — always exploring, creating, or learning something new. His interests reflected his thoughtful nature and his unique way of seeing the world.

Bryan never met a person who didn’t become a friend. He will be remembered for his strength, loyalty, and kind heart. He faced life’s challenges with quiet courage and was always ready to lend a helping hand or share a smile.

Thursday November 6th @ 11:00 AM at Rest Haven Memorial Park, 10209 Plainfield Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45241. Go in the front gate, first road turn right. Go to 2nd driveway and park there. If no parking spaces, you can park at funeral home next door or I guess the road.

It will start at 11:00. If there is time after we can talk, but we have to be out by 12:00, so they can get ready for the next funeral. It is going to be causal wear. Men do not need to wear suits and women do not need to wear dresses. Please just causal wear. We would like everyone to give Matt, Danny and myself private time at the end to place my brother in the niche. Thank you all for coming. Bryan, Danny, Matt and myself love each and every one of you.

Bryan will be missed dearly 😢 💔
