sorrow that we note the passing of our beloved brother, Brian Charles Jain.
Brian was born July 7, 1949 in Nampa, Idaho to Lewis D and Ruth H Jain. He
died unexpectedly of a massive heart attack while traveling through Munich,
Germany. Brian graduated from Nampa High School in 1967. He graduated from
University of Idaho, and held advanced degrees from the University of
Washington and University of Arkansas. He was a US Army veteran and lived
for several years in the Seattle area. He returned to Idaho to work for the
1990 census and decided to stay in Nampa. Brian worked for many years at the
Idaho Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired as an Orientation and
Mobility Trainer. He continued advocating for visually impaired children and
seniors into his retirement on a consulting basis. Brian was very active at
St John's Cathedral in Boise where he was a Lecter and Eucharistic Minister.
Brian is survived by his sister Laurene Stanford (Jerry) - Nampa; brother
Mike Jain (Diana) - Gig Harbor, Washington; beloved nieces Michele, Tracey
(Lou), Nicole (Kyle), and Alisa; and his great nephews and nieces. He is

Ohlaug, Merry and Rich Hellwege and countless friends. Brian was famous for
his quick wit, unfailing kindness and generosity. He loved traveling through
Europe and Russia with dear friends. On his final pilgrimage to Medjugorje,
Bosnia he fell ill and died doing what he loved. A memorial service will be
held at St. John's Cathedral 807 N. 8th St, Boise, ID with a wake to follow
at 7117 W Brookover Dr, Boise. We miss him terribly but will continue his
quest for the perfect triple latte and amazing pastry. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made to Free Wheelchair Mission in Brian's name. .
