Brian L. Roseman

Brian L. Roseman, age 75, of LaPorte, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by the love of his family, on Sunday evening, June 21, 2026.

Born on June 10, 1951, in Valparaiso, Indiana, Brian was the beloved son of the late Ralph and Frances (Ziegler) Roseman. He graduated from North Judson High School with the Class of 1969 and went on to build a remarkable career as a Journeyman Union Electrician, dedicating more than 45 years to his trade. Brian began his career at American Home Foods, where he worked from 1969 until 1984. He later served with the Indiana State Highway Department for eight years before finishing his career with Lewis Bakery, where he faithfully worked for more than 23 years. His strong work ethic, dependability, and craftsmanship earned him the respect of coworkers and friends alike.

On August 8, 1987, Brian married the love of his life, Wendy Cornell. Together they shared more than 38 wonderful years of marriage, building a life centered on love, laughter, and family. Of all the roles he held throughout his life, being a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather brought him the greatest happiness.

Brian possessed a lifelong passion for music that became one of the defining joys of his life. A talented drummer, he performed with several bands over the years, most recently with The Chuck Galloway and The Country Showmen. His love for music extended far beyond the stage. In 1982, he built a fully functioning recording studio in his home, a labor of love that he relocated three different times before finally establishing it in the basement of the home he and Wendy built together. There, Brian welcomed countless local musicians, recording demo tapes, producing music, and even creating professional voice-over recordings. His studio became a place where creativity flourished, friendships were formed, and memories were made.

When he wasn't surrounded by music, Brian found peace in the beauty of the outdoors. He took tremendous pride in the home and property he and Wendy lovingly created together. He delighted in caring for his lawn, planting vibrant flowers, and watching each season bring new colors to bloom. Evenings spent around the backyard fire pit with family and friends were among his favorite moments. Brian also had a special place in his heart for his beloved cats, Clarence and Sadie, who were cherished members of the family.

Brian's kind heart, gentle spirit, and unwavering devotion to those he loved will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy lives on through the family he treasured and the countless lives he touched through his generosity, his music, and his quiet acts of kindness.

He is survived by his beloved wife of more than 38 years, Wendy Roseman; his children, Sonja Fisher (Melvin), Tonja Workman (Jeremiah), Michael Cornell (Amanda), and Kimber Cornell (Jonny); his grandchildren, Sean Cornell (Shelby), Evan Glick, Alex Fisher and Andrw Fisher; his great-grandchildren, Addilynn and Jaxon; his brothers, Gary Roseman (Joyce) and Kelly Roseman; many loving nieces and a nephew; and his faithful feline companions, Clarence and Sadie.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) on Friday, June 26, 2026, at Haverstock Funeral Home and Cremation Services. Family and friends may gather for visitation from 11:00 a.m. until the time of the service at the funeral home. Burial will immediately follow at Pine Lake Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made in Brian's memory to the Independent Cat Society, 4061 S. County Line Road, Westville, IN 46391.

Though Brian's hands have been stilled and the music has quieted, the melody of his life continues to resonate in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His steadfast love for his family, his gift for bringing music to life, and the warmth he shared so freely will remain an enduring source of comfort and inspiration for generations to come.
