Brian Thomas Luhrs, 32, a lifelong resident of Hopewell Junction, died on August 25, 2023 from injuries sustained in a tragic work accident.

Born in Poughkeepsie on July 20, 1991, he was the son of Bonnie Jackson Luhrs and the late Joachim Luhrs. He graduated from Columbia Greene College, and attended Hennessy Performance Tuning School in TX. Brian was a jack of all trades, working in many fields including construction and elevator repairs.

Brian grew up with his family as members of the Hopewell Reformed Church. His cousins were his family and they all had different nicknames. He was always known as "Poptart", but as one of 'Dem Boys, he recently adopted the name "Trail Boss."

Brian was always on an adventure. He looked forward to time spent fishing in his "honey holes", golfing and riding motorcycles. He considered himself a master mechanic of everything! He loved kids, and will always be remembered for telling his knock knock jokes to his niece and nephews.

Brian always said that he was here for a good time, not for a long time!!!!
