Brian Lee Raabe was the second son born to Alan W. and Patricia D. (McMillan) Raabe in Brookings, SD. He was confirmed to the First Lutheran Church of Brookings and graduated from Brookings High School in 1980. Brian married Shylla Klapprodt and they shared two children, Logan and Sydney. His gift of gab made him a formidable salesman and he applied this skill in his employment with Langland's TV and Appliance, Rude's Furniture (both in Brookings), and Unclaimed Freight Furniture (in Sioux Falls). Brian’s path in life led him away from his young family and he faced many obstacles as he fought to find his way in society. He was most recently employed at Pathways Shelter for the Homeless in Yankton, SD.

Brian was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents.
