Brian was born in Shakopee on November 4, 1964, the son of Alfred and Ann (Sirek) Zaun. He was very happy at his home in Eden Prairie, MN, at Lotus View, and made many friends there.

Brian enjoyed watching all sports, especially the MN Twins, Vikings and former North Stars. He also participated in the Special Olympics and his top events were the 50 yard dash and the softball throw. He liked to listen to the same music as his siblings, Beach Boys and Creedence Clearwater Revival, and dancing while they listened. Brian also loved cherry pie, KFC, McDonald's, and orange soda.
Brian's family wishes to thank all the caregivers in Brian's life.
