GREEN BAY, Wis. - Brian C. Lindberg, age 54, of Green Bay, passed away unexpectedly at his home, Monday, Aug. 26, 2024.

Brian was an avid collector and loved spending time researching various topics of interest. His knack for finding valuable items came in handy when a friend or family member needed help with a project. He had a kind, calm, generous nature and always could be counted on to help others, no matter what the circumstances. He was very intelligent, and family and friends frequently sought his advice, as he had vast knowledge on a variety of topics, which will be deeply missed.
