"Courage is the root of change,
and change is what we are
chemically designed for."
In Memoriam: Brian Neil Anderson (August 21, 1970 - November 22, 2023)
Los Angeles lost a compassionate soul on November 22, 2023, as Brian Neil Anderson, a devoted registered nurse, bid farewell at the age of 53. Born in Modesto, CA on August 21, 1970, Brian's life was a testament to his unwavering dedication to healing and caring for others.
Brian's impact extended beyond the hospital walls, touching the lives of those fortunate enough to know him. His legacy of kindness, empathy, and professionalism in the healthcare field will be remembered by his colleagues and numerous patients.
Brian is survived by his loving husband, Cecilio Asuncion, with whom he shared a deep bond built on friendship, love, support, and shared dreams. His sister, Jennifer Leicham, and brother-in-law, Christian, mourn the loss of a dear brother, while nieces Annabel and Eloise will forever cherish the memories of their beloved uncle. Brian was preceded in death by his mother, Sandra McKean and father, Alan Anderson.
In honoring Brian's memory, let us celebrate a life dedicated to selfless service, love, and the pursuit of making a positive impact on the world. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched and the compassion he brought to his role as a healer.
May Brian Neil Anderson rest in peace, his spirit of kindness enduring in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Very kind and great nurse to work with. When we had change of shift, he always made this shift change pleasant and was always happy to work with him and share information. He always made me feel welcome and took my anxiety away. I remember him always offering to help and was able to teach me things when I didn't know what to do. He will be missed.
