Merrill Brian Nash

May 3, 1967 - July 7, 2025 M. Brian Nash passed away in Monrovia, California, on July 7, 2025, at the age of 58. Brian's life was way too short but he lived it fully. He was an avid golfer, fisherman and marksman, as well as an excellent rib smoker and pig roaster. Most of all, Brian loved going on trips with his brothers in the E Clampus Vitus Historical Society, an organization in which he rose to become the Sublime Noble Grand Humbug. At a recent celebration of Brian's life, the Clampers and others toasted him with story after story of Jeep adventures, cookouts, giant fish, and other subjects not suitable for a family newspaper.
Brian grew up in Arcadia, California, graduating from Arcadia High School in 1985. He received a bachelor's degree from U.C. San Diego and an MBA from Claremont McKenna College. He is survived by his sister, Susan Nash, his brother-in-law Jim Hanford, and his niece and nephews - Mike Nash, Dan Lundberg, Helen Nash, and Peter Hanford. He was predeceased by his parents, Merrill Nash and Betty Lou Henderson Nash, and his sister, Linda Nash.
