He graduated from Houston's St. Thomas High School in 1973 then attended the University of Houston. An avid outdoorsman, Brian died at one of his favorite camping locations. He worked at numerous positions in the hospitality industry as well as various sales and marketing activities. He was a gentle giant, as well as a phenomenal cook and bartender. Preceded in death by brother, Jeffrey, he is survived by his parents, Lamar and Ruth Bordelon of Dallas, TX, his son, Christian and wife Michelle of Beaumont, TX, and four brothers: Malcolm and wife Beth of San Jose, CA; Brock and wife Anna of Colorado Springs, CO; Edmond and wife Katherine of Winter Park, FL; and Bruce and wife Shannon of Flower Mound, TX.; as well as ten nieces and nephews.

I knew Brian since we attended STM together. He was a good friend to me. I will always remember his beautiful singing voice. I am sure that God will be pleased to have him join in the heavenly choir.



Please let me know when you will have the memorial service.

Malcolm I just wanted to let you know how sorry I was to hear about the death of your brother. I will pray for you and your family. I have lost both of my parents in the last 8 years. It is not an easy time right now. Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you and your family.
