Brian J. Freed, 63, of West Point, passed away peacefully at his home in the presence of loved ones on Friday, June 19, 2026.  Born on March 23, 1963, in Lafayette, Indiana, Brian was the son of the late Lester and Sandra (McKinney) Freed.  A 1981 graduate of McCutcheon High School, Brian married, Robin Misner, in March of 1988, in Lafayette. Together they built a life centered on family, hard work, and community.

Brian dedicated 37 years to Mary Lou Donuts, becoming the owner in 1990 and retiring in 2017. He took immense pride in his work and in continuing the tradition and quality that made the business a local favorite. Although his retirement was brief, Brian enjoyed spending time farming and working on antique cars and tractors whenever he could.

Brian is survived by his wife, Robin; his son, Joshua (Samantha) Freed of West Point and their son, Harper; his daughter, Jerrica (Jason) Vaughan of Wisconsin and their children, Juliauna, Jolina, and Jordy; and his brothers, Michael (Holly) Freed of West Point and Scott (Kelly) Freed of Inverness, Florida.

Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2026, at Soller-Baker Lafayette Chapel, 400 Twyckenham Boulevard, Lafayette. Interment will follow at West Point Cemetery.  In keeping with Brian’s wishes, guests are encouraged to dress casually when attending the visitation and service.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Brian’s memory to the West Point Fire Department.

Heavenly Father,We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up this grieving family and the entire community. We ask that You wrap Your loving arms around those who are hurting, and let them feel Your comforting presence in the midst of this sorrow.Lord, You are near to the brokenhearted, so we pray that You flood their minds with beautiful, joyful memories of their loved one. Help them to cherish those moments as lasting gifts that bring light to the dark days of their absence.We also lift up the wider community. Strengthen the bonds between friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Grant them the grace to be a support system for the family—knowing when to speak, when to be silent, and how to hold space for each other's grief. Remind them that they do not have to carry this heavy burden alone, and provide them with peace and patience as they navigate this transition together.Give the bereaved family and the community the courage to face each new day, the wisdom to lean on one another, and the hope of healing in the coming months.In Your holy and comforting name, we pray.

Rick and Lisa Foerg and family, (Phillip and family, Bethany, and Brittany and family), wish to express their deepest condolences. We have been close friends with Robin since 1980/81. We met Brian through Robin and immediately liked him. We clearly remember the birth of their daughter, Jerrica, and we enjoyed watching her grow into a remarkable person. I remember, whenever I visited the bakery, Brian would be so welcoming and instantly begin conversation with me. Our prayers, thoughts, and sympathy are with Robin, Jerrica and her family, Josh and his family, and all who loved Brian.
