Bryan Dolan Obituary
Bryan Scott Dolan lost his battle with cancer on Wednesday, October 16, 2019. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends. Bryan was diagnosed with glioblastoma in August of 2015. He fought a brave battle and had a strong will to beat the odds.
Bryan was born on April 15, 1967 in Dumas, Texas to Dennis and Joleen Dolan. He graduated from Montgomery High School in 1985. In 1987, he graduated from TSTI in Waco. After graduation, Bryan worked at Channel 10 in Waco. He then moved closer to home and worked as a sports camera man for Channel 39 in Houston. Filming allowed him to view our beautiful country through the lens of a camera, including Europe and Mexico. He filmed the Rockets, Oilers, and golf. After a long career as a cameraman, Bryan became an IT supervisor at Lone Star College.
As a child, Bryan enjoyed camping, swimming, fishing and spending time with his family. As an adult, his love for the great outdoors continued. Bryan loved saltwater fishing and snorkeling. Most of all, Bryan enjoyed spending time with his friends going bowling and cheering on the Astros.
Bryan is survived by his parents, Dennis and Joleen Dolan, his brother and sister-in-law, Brent and Ginger Dolan, his niece and nephew, Hailey and Cody Dolan, numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.
On Monday, October 21, 2019, visitation will take place from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at Sam Houston Memorial Funeral Home, 20850 Eva St. in Montgomery, TX. Funeral services will start at 3:00 pm. The services will end at New Montgomery Cemetery at 408 Old Plantersville Rd.

I worked with Bryan at Lone Star Montgomery for years. One cannot find a kinder or more gentle man. Always a smile and a friendly word, it was a pleasure to know and work with him. I have so much respect for him and for the courage he had as he faced the very difficult journey of the past few years. Please know I am praying for comfort and strength for his family during this time of deep loss.
Warm Regards,
Linda Vogel

I worked with Bryan for several years at Lone Star College--Montgomery. He was there for anything we needed help with in regards to our computers. He would go above and beyond for the Montgomery nursing department. If we needed him at 3:23 pm or we needed him at 7:59 am in the morning, he was there with a smile on his face and willing to help with whatever the nursing department needed. Our department had several very important tests throughout the year that were computerized. These tests depended on our IT department to make sure they worked with our system and all the students were able to get on their test and go through it smoothly. Bryan and his co-workers always made sure they got the job done. He was a wonderful person and co-worker. He will be missed.
