Bryan Morgan Obituary


Family-Placed Death Notice

MORGAN, Bryan BRYAN MORGAN Bryan Morgan, 52, of Marietta, died July 4, 2011 as a result of a bicycling accident. To Bryan, a morning bike ride was the perfect start to any holiday. Bryan was born in Jackson, Mississippi, on December 19, 1958, and grew up in Mississippi, California, and Pennsylvania before attending Drexel University in Philadelphia. He has lived in North Atlanta for the past 30 years, and his business career has involved several stops including C&S Bank, Async, Interserv, Self Test Software, and Certiport. Always one who loved a challenge, Bryan was involved in multiple start-up ventures that required him to wear many hats. He often said that he was a "jack of all trades and master of none", but anyone who interacted with him knew that he was a master of people. Bryan's incredible gift to make others laugh and ease an uncomfortable situation drew people to himself; his genuine care and concern were always evident. The relationships most important to Bryan, a true family man, were with the love of his life, Julie, his children, and grandchildren. Bryan's greatest love was for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His life's goal was to glorify God through his actions, words, and deeds. He talked often of Heaven and the incredible experience it would be to one day see his Savior face to face. Bryan's life was focused on living in such a way as to make the greatest impact on eternity. Bryan is survived by his wife, Julie; son Matthew and daughter-in-law, Danielle; son, Andrew and daughter-in-law, Emily; daughter, Katie; son, Zach; son, Jonathan; mother, Betty Morgan; sister, Edith Ann Morgan; and four grandchildren. Bryan was preceded in death by his father, Richard Bryan Morgan, Jr. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 9th at Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Georgia. Details can be found at www.caringbridge.org/visit/bryanmorgan. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to The Beltline Bicycle Shop, a ministry to Atlanta's at-risk urban youth. 750 Glenwood Avenue, SE Atlanta, GA 30316.

Dear Morgan family
I had the immense pleasure of working with Bryan on several different projects from 2007. There are very few people that we come across in this world that have the integrity and genuine respect of others that Bryan had. He managed to balance being an incredibly astute business man, along with having the morals and ethics of the perfect human being, which was inspiring to me and to many others. I will miss him both as a sparing partner, and also as a friend.
My deepest sympathies and thoughts are with you all.
With kindest regards, James Varnham (Copenhagen, Denmark)

I was so sad to hear of Bryan's passing. He was my boss when I worked briefly at Async, which was over 20 years ago. I was going through a difficult time at the time, and I was impressed then by his great faith and dedication to his family. He inspired me to seek God. I am today a committed Christian, due in part to his testimony through his daily life. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Bryan is with the Lord today. That will give comfort to all that loved him. Thank you Bryan for being a man of God and for touching my life so many years ago.
