Brian MOURING Obituary
He died in shallow water at Oregon Inlet at Nags Head while on a camping trip with his friends. This was not a "freak accident", a "rogue wave", or a "rip tide". Brian was young and strong and the surf was moderate. This was a direct act of a loving God in whom we fully trust. Our pain is deeper than the ocean itself, and we miss him more than can be put into words. But we know Brian is with the Lord, where we will one day hold him again. Brian attended Denbigh Baptist Christian School in his early years, finishing his high school days at Summit Christian Academy.
He was an intern student this summer at NASA Langley Research Center where he was able to work alongside his father, a precious time now made even sweeter. He was about to begin his second year at Thomas Nelson Community College as a Civil Engineering student. He attended Petsworth Baptist Church in Gloucester and frequently visited Liberty Baptist Church in Hampton. Brian sealed his eternity in heaven when he trusted in Christ for his salvation on May 23 of this year. He loved soccer, drawing, spending time with his close friends, and his wit was so sharp. He was a great example to many. Never will he be replaced or forgotten. God holds him now. We will see him again.
Brian is survived by his parents, Chris and Kimberly Mouring; his two brothers, Matthew and Philip Mouring; his sister, Rachel Mouring White and her husband, Eric, all of Gloucester, Va. He is also survived by his girlfriend, Lindsay Lutterloh; his paternal grandparents, John and Betsy Mouring of Newport News; his maternal grandparents, Wayne and Mary Johnson of Raleigh, N.C.; his great-grandmother, Alene Byrd of Ocala, Florida; his nephew, Josiah White; and his niece, Samantha White.
A memorial service celebrating Brian's Life will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28, 2010, at Liberty Baptist Church in Hampton, Va. There will be a time of visitation and fellowship from 2 to 4 p.m. immediately prior to the memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be made to Summit Christian Academy, where a fund will be established in Brian's honor to tangibly continue his impact there. Their website is www.summitchristianacademy.org.
Twiford Funeral Homes' Colony Chapel, Manteo, N.C., is assisting the family with arrangements. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.twifordfh.com. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Coach Mouring,
I fondly remember how kind and helpful you were when I first began the website for the Metro Conference. If you were that helpful to a perfect stranger, and your son was anything like you, I know our world has lost a wonderful person. Your family is in my prayers during this time. The Lord be with you all!

Chris and family
I never had the opportunity of meeting your son but it sounds like he was a great young man with a great testimony. As many have said, word's cannot take your pain away but the Lord can bring peace and comfort to you. Brian's passing is not in vain -- God will reveal his plan to you if you wait on him. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Cherish the memories you have and lean on Christ for your comfort.

Reading Brian's obituary was a poignant reminder to our family of the eternal truth, " there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear." Instead of fear of death, we share the comfort of Christ's eternal promise, "I go to prepare a PLACE for you. And if I go, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, you may be also." Your family is in our thoughts and prayers as you grieve for the very real and present loss of Brian's presence in your lives. The Daniels family (Trinity RP Church, Beltsville, MD)

We send our deepest sympathies to you at this time and have you in our prayers for strength and peace. We rejoice with you over Brian's salvation and praise your boldness and courage to publicly proclam God's control of all things - even Brian's death. We ask that He would continue to aid you through the truth of His Word during this difficult time.

What an incredibly encouraging and uplifting tribute from a godly earthly father in memory of his godly son. May the Holy Comforter bring you peace in this time of mourning in the knowledge that you will be reunited with your son in the life to come.

I found out today Brian was supposed to be in my class this semester. Most of my classmates knew him from last semester. He sounds like a wonderful human being, and I am sorry I didnt get the chance to know him. You and those close to him are in my prayers.

Our families have been friends since childhood, so please know that we also mourn with you during this painful experience. Words only provide limited comfort, but we trust that God’s spirit will intervene where human efforts fail. It was a pleasure to work close to Brian this past summer and see what a mature man he had become since the days of Upward basketball. The Mouring family’s faith and strength during this difficult time has been an inspiration and testimony.

Chris and Kimberly my deepest condolences in these sad days. My heart hurt when I learned through Randy Rooker the sad news. I remember Brian a baby when I first met him, and I can not imaging the sadness you and your wife must be feeling. But there is always God to support us and give us strength because only HE gives and takes away according to his plan for all of us. I am sure Brian is fulfilling God's plan, as hard as may be for us. God bless you and your family. My prayers go to your family.

Chris, Kim and Family,
Words cannot express my how sorry I am at the loss of Brian. I am very gratful for having to gotten to know Brian, (or Little "B" as I called him) when I was helping in the youth group. We know that he is happier than he has ever been being with Jesus at this very moment. I pray that God will give you peace and comfort at this time and we will be praying for all of you. Words cannot give the comfort that you need at this time but I know that our Lord Jesus Christ is the one true answer.

Dear Chris,Kim and family, I can't describe my feelings when I heared of Brians passing, What do you say to a family who has just lost part of their hearts? I remember Brian as a little boy playing with his family on Willbrook Drive, Chris always at the center. What a beautiful family, I hated when you left us for Glouscester but appreciated the Christmas letters bringing me up on all the family life. A lovely one telling us of Rachels' wedding and baby, this latest news was heartbreaking. So now I pray that God in His mercy will heal your hurting hearts, knowing what strong faith you have I know you will find the comfort and healing from a loving and merciful Father.
Sincerely and with love
