Rosendin’s Post

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Brian Brobst, Vice President, who passed away peacefully on November 4, 2025. Brian dedicated more than 30 years to the electrical and mission critical industries, including 13 remarkable years with Rosendin. During that time, he made an unforgettable impact on our organization, our people, and the broader community of partners and peers who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. Brian’s positive influence cannot be overstated. He was a mentor, a steward, a friend, and a source of unwavering care and integrity. His dedication, humility, and authenticity shaped countless relationships across the industry. Known for his rare ability to remember every person’s name and personal story—even after a single meeting—Brian demonstrated a genuine respect and sincere interest in everyone he encountered. His leadership as a Vice President, an appointed ESOP Trustee, and a deeply engaged contributor to industry organizations such as the 7x24 Exchange DC Chapter, DBIA, AFCOM, and NECA reflected his passion for strengthening teams, advancing his field, and elevating those around him. Brian is survived by his wife and their two beloved sons, and his commitment to serving others extended far beyond his family and career. He devoted time and support to causes close to his heart, including the Gary Sinise Foundation, the Navy SEAL Foundation, Boulder Crest, the American Heart Association, and numerous local charities. His compassion, generosity, and willingness to “always show up” enriched the lives of countless people across the country. Brian leaves behind a profound legacy of leadership, kindness, and connection—one that will continue to inspire our Rosendin community for years to come. His spirit remains woven into the fabric of our company and the many relationships he nurtured throughout his career. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Brian’s family during this difficult time. Brian will be dearly missed by all who knew him—within Rosendin, across the industry, and throughout the many communities he touched with his generosity, leadership, and unwavering spirit.

June 2010 was when I first met Brian. What struck me then and still resonates now, was his friendly nature, his genuine smile and his welcoming demeanor. Every time I saw him over the course of the next 15 years, that same vibe just resonated within him. The industry has lost a champion and he will be forever missed.
