Brian G. Northrup, 55, of Syracuse, passed away peacefully on Saturday at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital. A lifelong resident of the Syracuse area, he was a 1990 graduate of West Genesee High School.

Brian was employed for more than 10 years as a machine operator at New Process Gear. He was a communicant of The Church of St. Michael & St. Peter.

Above all else, his greatest joy came from spending time with the people he loved. His presence, laughter and friendship will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Brian was predeceased by his mother, Linda, in 2012.
