Obituary
Brian Steven Transburg, 50, of Madison, Wisconsin passed away on August 6, 2024. A beloved husband, father, son, brother, and uncle, Brian enjoyed hunting, fishing, and building things. He was a straight-shootin', heart-on-his-sleeve, give-you-the-shirt-off-his-back kind of person.
Born on the 13th of April 1974 in Madison, Brian was adopted as a newborn and raised in La Crosse, WI. When Brian was 11 years old, his family moved to France and then Zaire (now Dem. Rep. of Congo), where his parents were missionary teachers, before returning to the United States and finishing high school in La Crosse. He pursued a degree at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL and eventually earned an Associates Degree in police science at Madison Area Technical College. Brian worked for many years as an in-home care provider in Madison. In 2004, Brian was hired by Naturescape Lawn and Landscape Care as a Specialist, and, over a 20-year career, he was progressively promoted to Service Coordinator, Branch Manager, and Head Quality Assurance Manager.
In June 2024, even as his health was declining, Brian was honored and proud to officiate the wedding of his son Bob and Nicole. The occasion marked a milestone for the whole family who meant the whole world to Brian.
Brian is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Meg, as well as sons Bob (Nicole) and Brandon, parents Bill and Renee, sister Tamra (Tony), brother Peter (Michelle), and four nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life service will be held in late 2024; details to follow.

Memories of Brian
"Bill and Renee, I was shocked and so saddened to read the news of your sweet Brian. I remember back in '93/'94 he used to come visit the Kindergarten room and he was so fantastic with the children. He and my mom dressed up as clowns once to entertain the kids for a circus unit. The kids LOVED him and so enjoyed it when he came to help out. He was a kind and wonderful young man and I will be praying for your whole family during this time of great loss."
My heart and fervent prayers are with the whole Transburg family as they navigate life without Brian.
