Brian Conrad Firstenberger, age 53, of Huber Heights, Ohio, and formerly of Delta, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly at his home on March 10, 2026. Born in Wauseon, Ohio on October 14, 1972, to Gary L. Firstenberger and Marty (Cook) Firstenberger, Brian graduated from Delta High School in 1991, where he excelled in football and basketball. He earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Bowling Green State University and a master’s degree from the University of Dayton.
Brian began his teaching career with Upper Sandusky Schools and Delta Local Schools before devoting the past thirty years as an English teacher at Tipp City Bethel Local Schools in Tipp City, Ohio. His love of sports led him to assist in coaching football and basketball over the years. A devoted Ohio State Buckeyes fan, he followed their seasons with enthusiasm. Yet nothing brought him greater joy than watching his sons participate in their school activities and sporting events. Being their father was the greatest gift of his life.
Brian is survived by his sons, Nolan, Patrick, and Cullen Firstenberger of Tipp City, Ohio; his parents, Gary and Marty Firstenberger of Delta; his brother, Aaron Firstenberger of Columbus, Ohio; and many close friends and colleagues.
