Burial with military honors provided by American Legion Post #42 will follow at Mount Pisgah Cemetery.

Harley-Davidson attire is welcomed at the celebration of his life.

He died Friday, June 29, 2012, doing what he enjoyed, riding his motorcycle in the Big Horn Mountains.

He was born Feb. 8, 1973, in Greybull to Linda Kay Ingersoll and Herbert Warren Brinkerhoff.

He grew up and attended school in Greybull but graduated from Riverside High School in Basin.

Mr. Brinkerhoff served in the Wyoming Army National Guard for 14 years.

He married the love of his life, Kari Ann Allen, on June 8, 1991, in Basin. Together they raised two children, Brittani and Hagen.

He worked in Worland until 2000 when he moved to Gillette. He was employed by Anadarko Petroleum, a job he loved and was truly grateful for.

He loved his family, hunting and riding his Harley. He had that one thing everyone wants, he squeezed every inch out of life everyday. He had that rebel side to him that everyone admired but never could seem to find.

Mr. Brinkerhoff is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Kari; son, Hagen Brinkerhoff; daughter, Brittani Brinkerhoff Phelps of Gillette; mother, Kay Deaver of Gillette; six brothers and sisters, Hope Brinkerhoff of Gillette, Guy Brinkerhoff, Danny Brinkerhoff and Autumn Brinkerhoff of Worland, Phillip Brinkerhoff of Gillette and Camron of Gillette; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father Herb, and his grandparents.

A memorial fund has been established in his name at the First National Bank of Gillette.
