It is with great love and respect that the family of Brian S. Kuzniar announces his sudden passing on December 12,2025. Brian was born in Springfield on February 18,1958 and spent his youth and was educated in Chicopee. From a young age he was a car enthusiast and was gifted with the talent to be able to repair cars. His passion brought him to a career as a mechanic working for Ryder Truck. He also was the proud owner and operator of Smitty's Speed Shop which was housed in his garage. He took great pride in repairing cars for a great many people and his prized possession was his 1979 Buick Skylark. Brian was a compassionate man with a heart of gold and his love for his children was boundless. His one weakness was his love for hot fudge sundaes especially when there was more fudge than ice cream. He was well loved and will be forever missed.

Surviving Brian are his two devoted sons, Brandon and partner Casey and Sean and his wife Sheena. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Ally Lynn, Leland and his faithful companion Luggy.

Visitation with his family will be held on December 22,2025 at the Agawam Funeral Home 184 Main Street from 4-6 P.M.  Committal will be held privately
