Brian was born August 24, 1978, in Belleville, IL. He graduated from Freeburg Community High School in 1996, and received an associate degree from Southwestern Illinois College in Visual Arts in 2001, and a BS from SIU Carbondale in English and Philosophy in 2004. After many years of running his own computer graphics company, Vergence Graphics, he decided this last year to change professions and was currently enrolled in the School of Law at Washington University, St. Louis, MO. He felt that he had finally found his true calling and was enjoying the rigors of first year law school.
Brian was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Dr. R. M. Crouch; and his paternal grandparents, Paul and Marcella Schlitt.
Surviving are his parents, Glennon P. and Carol A., nee Crouch, Schlitt of Freeburg, IL;

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Brian. I knew Brian while he was in Carbondale at SIU and a member of the game club there. I have fond memories of playing in games with him during those years. He always greeted me with a cheery “hello” when we had chance meeting over the last few years. He will be missed by many here in the Carbondale area. I want to give my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends on his untimely passing.
