Brian Keith Moran

Brian Keith Moran, age 29, died suddenly on June 5, 2013. He was born February 26, 1984 in Mt. Clemens, Michigan the son of Karen Moran and Mark Allen.A 2001 graduate of Memphis High School in Memphis, Michigan, Brian followed his schooling by engaging his muscles and handyman skills in the field of carpentry. After a period of manual labor, he decided to venture down a new path,...this time putting his mind to work in computer sciences by enrolling at the ITT Institute where he attained the position of IT Specialist. Following his computer education, Brian was invited to join the team at Ipexpert where he served an internship, and would eventually go on to work with them as a contracted employee. He was very proud of the diligent efforts extended in advancing his scope of knowledge and the education obtained.When he wasn't working on the job, Brian could often be found enjoying another realm of work that brought him immense satisfaction,...working on a varied mix of motorized vehicles. From the many cars, motorcycles, off-road vehicles and dirt bikes he repaired and rejuvenated, it was obvious that he possessed a vast amount of talents and skills when it came to anything on wheels. When it came to enjoying a little fun and entertainment, Brian was a master at the game Guitar Hero. Along with all of his other talents, the proficiency he showed at playing this game made it quite evident that music was another skill set. Then there was Cedar Point! As both a kid and adult alike, one of Brian's favorite escapes was to this renowned amusement park that provided him countless hours of excitement and exhilaration. Being a "thrill seeker" in spirit, it was the roller coasters that brought him the most joy and pleasure. The more wild & gut-wrenching, the better! In Brian's younger years, there was always fun to be had through the sporting competitions he shared in the games of hockey, baseball, and karate. As time went on, the competitiveness became exchanged for the fun he enjoyed in traveling, with some of his favorite memories being his trips to the state of Maine, the cities of Chicago and Washington D.C., and the ever-popular & gorgeous Niagara Falls. But, of course, without question,...the greatest fun and times he enjoyed the most were those spent in the company of family and friends. Brian's loved ones meant the world to him, and they'll forever reflect upon what a laid-back, quiet, soft-spoken, and shy person that he was,...and all of that enveloped by a heart as big as the moon! He had a smile that would light up a room, and was the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back,...no questions asked. As much as he was loving, caring, forgiving, helpful, honest, and genuine,...he was equally tenacious by nature, never gave up, and persisted further where others might have thrown in the towel. Perhaps that's why he was considered to possess such an adventuresome quality. And when it came to persisting, everyone's funny bone will always be tickled by each remembrance of what a prankster Brian was. Bringing laughter and brevity to the lives of others was a gift he had in spades. A life gone far too soon from our presence, Brian's legacy will live on through the many hearts and souls he touched along the way. Whether through the laughter and fun he induced, or the warm-fuzzies he instilled, the lives he impacted were plentiful and they'll never forget what a comforting soul he possessed. His spirit will live on through each & every heart that was blessed to know him with each & every thought that brings him close again. He will be missed immensely and loved eternally.
