Brian Meadows

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Brian Meadows, affectionately known as Brian, who departed this life on Monday, April 13th, 2026, at the age of 59. Born on Tuesday, March 7th, 1967, Brian was a cherished resident of Cartersville, GA, where he lived a life full of love, laughter, and dedication to his family and community.

Brian is survived by his devoted wife of 26 years, Tonya Meadows, who stood by his side through life's many adventures. Together, they built a beautiful family, blessed with children Cade (Madison) Meadows, Kylie (Daniel) Dobbs, Blake Duck, Tonnie (Wesley) Lingerfelt, and Chelsie (Chris) Downing. His legacy continues through his 13 (and counting!) beloved grandchildren, who were the light of his life, and his loving mother, Johnnie Gale Ballard. Brian's memory will also be cherished by his special nephew, Jonathan Evans, and his siblings, April Turner, Amanda Arp, and Greg Meadows.

He was preceded in death by his father, Tommy Meadows, his sister, Felicia Nelson, and his grandparents, Robert and Lena Jenkins, who undoubtedly welcomed him with open arms.

Brian was a dedicated dump truck driver, a profession he took great pride in, often taking on the jobs no one else dared to do. He was a true "man's man," known for his unwavering work ethic and strength of character. Outside of work, Brian had a passion for fishing, cheering on his favorite teams, the Georgia Bulldogs and the Falcons, and exploring the great outdoors, especially the mountains he loved to visit. He had a great love old cars, his favorite being a 78' Camaro.

Above all, Brian's greatest joy was his family, especially his grandchildren, whom he adored. He was a man of deep faith, placing all his trust in his Savior, Jesus Christ. His life was a testament to his beliefs, and he leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and resilience.

A Celebration of Life will be held in his honor at New Beginning Baptist Church in White, GA, on Friday, April 17th, 2026, at 5:30 pm. Family and friends are invited to gather and share in the memories of a life well-lived. The address is 205 Colonel Way, White, Georgia 30184.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Parnick Jennings Funeral Home and Cremation Services, who are honored to serve the Meadows family during this difficult time.

Brian will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those he touched. May he rest in eternal peace.
