DONALDSON BRIAN

Age 49, passed away peacefully in St. Louis, MO on August 5, 2019 after a courageous battle against esophageal cancer.

He started his career with Edward Jones in Franklin, PA in 1992.

He is survived by his wife, Anya; his stepson, Max of St. Louis, MO; his parents, Dave and Carol Donaldson of Murrysville; his favorite sister, Lisa of Pittsburgh and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He loved his family and friends...and people, in general. He always had a smile, a kind word and a willingness to nurture everyone that he met. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Mother of Sorrows Church in Murrysville, PA on September 7th at 11 a.m. with visitation from 10-10:45 a.m. in the Narthex of the church.

I met Brian back in London 2007. He was kind and a gent. He absolutely adored his sister. We had the worst pasta under the arch of London Bridge. We had a laugh! I came across his old email whilst clearing my inbox. Hoping to get in touch but sadly found his orbituary. I wish to send my prayers and love to his family if anyone is reading this.
