Brice Voran Obituary
Petoskey, MI - Brice Toland Voran passed away at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, Michigan on September 18, 2018, following heart surgery.
Brice was born to Reed Daniel and Joella Virginia Voran in New York City on January 27, 1942. His father served in the FBI in New York during WWII, and afterward returned to Muncie, Indiana.
Brice graduated from Burris School in Muncie in 1960, and from Yale in 1964. In 1965, he received a Certificate in European Studies at the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium.

Brice married his wife Chris in Walloon Lake, Michigan on July 24, 1983.
In 2006, they retired to their beloved Walloon Lake, where Brice was President of the Walloon Lake Trust and Conservancy, and later Chairman of the Land Preservation Committee, and also a board member of the Charlevoix Circle of Arts. In his later years his passion was portrait photography and he exhibited in local photography shows.
Brice was predeceased by his parents and brother Spencer. He is survived by his wife Chris; son Reed Voran (Traci Christofore) and their daughters Stevie and Joey in Florida; daughter Kate (Robert) Magrane in New York; and sister Patrice (Andy) Young in Montana.

My deepest sympathies to Chris and the Voran family. Brice was a mentor, trusted friend and generally a good person. I regret not keeping in touch in recent years, but I will always remember his frienship, support and wisdom. He was a true gem, and he will live on within me because I try to emulate him (not his jokes though). God bless you Brice.
