Brian Scott Wiebke, 48, passed away peacefully at his home following a courageous battle with cancer Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014, surrounded by his family at his home in Oronoco.
Brian was born Dec. 12, 1965, in Rochester, to Ben and LouAnn (Born) Wiebke. He attended John Marshall High School, graduating in 1984. He moved to Breckenridge, Colo., in 1992. In 2008, he returned to Oronoco and married his longtime soul-mate, Julie Moreton on May 26, 2013. Prior to his diagnosis with cancer, Brian worked at Sunrise Cottages of Rochester.
Brian loved the outdoors, especially the Colorado Mountains, fishing, gardening and music. He was a very talented artist who excelled in sketching and painting and was a natural storyteller. Brian had a special love for all animals. He was a lifetime Minnesota Vikings fan. He was loved by many, and touched the lives of those who knew him...you remembered him if you met him. He will be greatly missed.
Brian will be remembered by his wife, Julie; his mother, LouAnn Wiebke (Born) of Rochester; a sister, Sharon (Jim) Halling of Rochester; a brother, Mark of Fairfax; a nephew, Jesse Wiebke of Mankato; a niece, Ashley Wiebke of Mazeppa; and his cherished cats, Bugsy and Fontayne.
He is preceded in death by his father, Ben and his grandparents.

Great long term friend and buddy! Was always a great person to make sarcastic and entertaining comments about current situations with people around him. Whether the person at hand was standing next to him or not he didn't hold back! Art teacher John at J.M. used to tell us we smelled like "Old tennis shoes" every time we walked into class late, for some reason it happened once and a while.... Hmmmmm? Fun stuff back then!
Great entertainment. Was also a great long term freind to my brother Rob who passed in 2005...
Really liked the guy, glad he spent some of his time on this earth in Breckenridge when he and Fred Ciarletta moved out for 10 years or soo. Met Julie and she definitely completed him! Keeping him in line politely and lighting him up when he needed to be stirred up!
I was really honored to know him! I really have missed him since my last visit to MN before he passed! I my thoughts a lot!
Go fish and screw around with Rob, drink a Special Ex for me guys! R.I.P. Weebs!
