Olive Branch Fire Fighter Brian Otto, age 44, passed away on June 11, 2020. Brian was born in Memphis, TN, on June 6, 1976, the son of Gary and Jean Otto. Brian graduated from Southaven High School with the class of 1995. In 2003, when he saw Ally, he believed in love at first sight. It was fate, and the two would marry on July 3, 2004. They were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Xander Blakely, on August 24th 2006, and their little family was complete. They loved to travel and entertain, and used every day as a reason to celebrate. Any reason was a good one to throw a party. Brian began his career with Olive Branch Fire Department on May 6, 2003, and was proud to have been with them for seventeen years. This was his true calling in life. Brian said from the time he was a little boy, he wanted to be a fireman. He even loved the color red. His accomplishments included his current position as Driver/Operator, current certifications as Fire Officer I and II, EMS Driver, FEMA Incident Command, Advanced Rescue, Hazardous Material Handling, Confined Space Rescue, and Rope Rescue. He also earned his Smoke Diver Certification in 2007. While fighting fire and saving lives was his passion, he also was the owner of Xander Electric, X Marks the Spot, and Ally to Avenue Homes. Brian is remembered with love by his wife, Ally Riles Otto of Olive Branch; his daughter, Xander Blakely Otto of Olive Branch; his father, Gary Otto of Southaven, MS; his mother, Jean Reed of Southaven; his brother, Michael Otto of Southaven; as well as several aunts, cousins, nephews and a niece.
