BRIAN IGOE Obituary
Brian was born in Boston, MA. He graduated from Bishop Guertin High School in 1973, a national merit scholar and valedictorian, Yale University in 1977, and Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College in 1981. He was Chief Investment Officer for The Rainin Foundation. He served on the Investment Committee of the Lexington Education Foundation and the Board of American Friends for the Preservation of Czech Culture.
Brian was a loving and devoted husband, father, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and grandfather. He was deeply loved by his family and friends. We will all miss his love, friendship, smile, confidence, intelligence, leadership, loyalty, support, generosity, storytelling, sense of humor, and his amazingly grumpy yet entertaining love for everyone. Brian loved the outdoors including the beaches and cold surf on the coast of Maine, kayaking, paddle boarding, and hiking and skiing in mountains around the world. His nickname is The King. Long live The King.

Hey Brian!
My junior by 9 years . The Watson boys , 7, lived next to your house for 30 year. . There was always an Igoe to thumb to school on any given morning .
I didn´t know Brian as a friend as my brothers were his buddies . What I did know was that Brian was the nicest kid in the neighborhood . He was always greeting you with a smile and a verbal greeting.
I always went to track practice at who´s with an Igoe as did my brothers and we always had an Igoe with us!
My most sincersets feelings for the Igoe family

Brian Igoe made my personal career and my firm. We simply would not exist as a firm without him.
I miss his constructive input and his sense of humor. We will strive to live up to what he did for us.

Jan, Brennan & Sarah,
I am so sorry for your loss. It was so shocking to hear about Brian's passing. Brian gave me a lease on a new life professional in 2001 that I am eternally grateful for. I will always remember him as someone who viewed investing as a way to partner with people and cultivate novel ideas - ideas that were "off the run" - than to just make money. That was a rare quality.
Deepest condolences,
Lawrence Becerra

With Deepest Sympathies,

Jan -
I am so profoundly sorry for you, for your family, and, selfishly, for me. I saw Brian rarely but it was always a thrill when I did. So many qualities that I admire: respectful and independent, amused and amusing, unflappable, terribly companionable. I can't measure the depth of your loss but I can say that it was a privilege to know Brian. I'm a better person for it.

We love you Jan and we loved Brian.. and you two together.
We had such fun at dinners and outings with the investment group!
Brian was a gentle, highly intelligent, and easy -to -be with fellow.
That you both loved your beautiful son, daughter, and daughter in law was never in doubt... and then the grandchildren: oh my!
Such a life you created. Such love was given. The memories stay with us all. xo Elizabeth

Janice, I have no words to express my sorrow for you and your family. Having never known Brian, his obituary captures his devotion and love of his family, love of nature and admiration by all who had the joy of knowing him. Give yourself permission to grieve and hopefully allow yourself to reminisce and share sweet memories. Your sorrow is certainly even more difficult with the pandemic, travel restrictions and lack of normalcy.
Marilyn Thomas Pelehach.

We miss Brian so much. We miss his strong presence and humanity and love and friendship. Brian always felt like family to us. We will miss our conversations about everything from politics to history to economics and everything beyond and we will miss his presence. Brian, we love you so much. You will always be in our hearts and minds and we will always love and miss you so much. We are so sorry.
Love,
Nancy and Ilan
