Brian McCourtney Lebow was born in Midland, Texas, on March 22, 1963. The son of Danie and Darrell Lebow, Brian spent his entire childhood in Midland. His father was a geologist and his mother was the first female landman in Texas. Growing up in West Texas had a big impact on who he became. Brian moved to Fort Worth to attend Texas Christian University where he graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration in 1984. His amazing friends from college,and his beloved TCU Horned Frogs were such an important part of his life.
Starting his career in finance at HD Vest, Brian left to work in the insurance industry at Safeco, and then Marsh McLennan and Wortham, where he specialized in Surety Bonds. After leaving Wortham, he became interested in commercial real estate and invested in apartments. All the while tending to his oil and gas interests.
In February 1989, Brian met the love of his life, Michael Davis. Brian and Mike were married in a small church in the countryside outside Reykjavik, Iceland ,in 2017. They enjoyed traveling and being with their wide circle of friends. Brian’s easy-going manner, warm heart and big smile will be missed dearly by everyone who knew and loved him. Brian was devoted to the care of Prime and Cash, their two dogs. Daily walks with the dogs and spending time with family and friends were his greatest pleasures in life.
Brian was a member of Cathedral of Hope. He loved the Lord and, as a Christian, we rejoice in his being with our heavenly Father. We will miss his presence in our lives, but his spirit will live on in us.
