He was born in Washington Parish, the son of Vernon and Bertha Corkern and lived in the Franklinton area most of his life. Brian's favorite pastimes were hunting, fishing and visiting with his many friends and large family. He was known for going out of his way to help friends in need, and recently spent the last 2 years caring for his elderly mother at her home in Covington until her passing in March. He truly had a servant's heart. Brian was preceded in death by both of his parents. He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law Dustin and Lindsey Corkern and his grandson Ryland of Pearland, Texas, along with his sister and brother-in- law Marilyn and Howard Guild of Orinda, CA, his brother Bruce Corkern of Covington, and his niece and her husband Haley and Sean Moore of Oakland, CA, and many relatives in Washington and St. Tammany Parishes. Brian will be sadly missed by his many friends as well. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Service honoring his life on Thursday, May 7, 2015 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm at Crain Funeral Home in Franklinton. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to First Baptist Church of Franklinton or the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. ===================
