Newbury, VT – Brian Paul Hatch, 38, of Main Street, died unexpectedly Sunday, February 25, 2018.  "Little Brian" as he was affectionately called, was loved by a large group of friends and family.

Brian was born in Haverhill, NH, June 25, 1979, a son of Tina M. (Leonard) and Brian H. Hatch.  He grew up in North Haverhill and graduated from Woodsville High School, and was currently working as a pressman at Upper Valley Press in North Haverhill.

Brian especially enjoyed spending time with friends Scott, Darren, Joe, Bob, Mike, Jim, and Bruce, whether on fishing trips, camping, or just hanging out.  Even though hunting was not his thing, it made him happy to spend time with his Dad.  He loved to cook for his friends where all were welcome to share in all that he had.  Although he was affectionately teased that he was a "Mama's Boy", it never bothered him because that was what he knew in his heart.  He loved and depended on his Mom.  "Little Brian" enlisted a "team of ladies" he could depend on to look out for him and to lend an ear whenever he needed advice, rides, banking needs, laundry done, making a meal for him, a chauffeur from parties, making sure he got to school or to work on time, or to just help him find items he had lost somewhere.  A special "Thank You", to Irene, Nikki, Reagan, Lorna, Leslie, Sarah, and Aunt Patti.  The saying is true, "It takes a village to raise a child".  Brian enjoyed special times with his siblings, Justin, and Melissa.  He made an effort to look out for them as much as he could.  He enjoyed playing all night marathons of video games with his niece Makyla and a meal of lobster every now and then with is nephew Isaiah.  He had a special bond with is beloved dog, Spencer.

Words cannot express how much he will be missed by all.  He had a beautiful smile, a giving heart, and a bit of mischief mixed in.

Survivors include his parents Brian and Tina Hatch of Stony Point, NC, a son Christopher D. Moody of Pike, a sister Melissa Rocheleau of Statesville, NC, a brother Justin Hatch of Keene, NH, his maternal grandmother Priscilla Leonard of Meredith, NH, along with several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

The family wishes to thank all the people who loved and helped "Little Brian" throughout his life.  We are truly grateful and hope that you will join us in a Celebration of Brian on Saturday, March 17th, at 1 PM in the Mt Lakes Lodge, 73 Lodge Lane, (off Valley Road), Woodsville, NH.
