Brian Mullen Obituary

BRIAN JAMES MULLEN VALPARAISO, IN Brian James Mullen of Valparaiso passed away suddenly on Wednesday, December 3, 2008. "The things we see now are here today, gone, tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever." Cherished husband, father and friend, our hearts are broken. Brian, age 51, was born in Meadville, PA to John and Roslyn Mullen, Sr. of Dunwoody, GA. He leaves behind the love of his life, Patrice (Schmelter) Mullen; and his adored children: Mallarie, Michael and Mackenzie. He was preceded in death by his infant son, Mitchell; they now walk together hand in hand. Brian is also survived by his brother, John (Nancy) Mullen of Austin, TX; two sisters: Cindy Mattox of Canton, GA and Allison (Rodney) Feltner of Peachtree City, GA; along with many nieces, nephews, members of the Schmelter family and close friends. Brian graduated from Miami University of Ohio and was a registered professional engineer in the State of Indiana. He was a financial advisor and limited partner for Edward Jones Investments and he truly loved his job. Brian also was an IHSAA basketball official. His favorite game was golf, and we hear it never rains in heaven. His passion was and is his family, and he was our rock. We love you more than life itself Brian, and we will miss you terribly for the rest of our lives. A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 at 11:00 AM DIRECTLY at St. Paul Catholic Church, 1855 Harrison Blvd, Valparaiso, IN with Fr. Joseph Pawlowski officiating. Cremation will follow at Angelcrest Crematory, Valparaiso. Visitation will be Sunday December 7, 2008 from 1:00-6:00 PM at Moeller Funeral Home, 104 Roosevelt Road, Valparaiso.

My prayers are with your family..I worked with Brian in the Chesterton office when he was just getting started with EDJ and every spare break we had all he talked about was his wife and kids who he adored. I was shocked and saddened even though I haven't worked for the company for over five years. Once again, I am praying for all of you.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Brian was a very nice person who loved his job and was good at it. My husband and I miss Brian already. When we first met Brian, about 5 years ago, it was as if we knew him all my lives. Brian never met a person he didn't like. He would call us often advising us on our investments,. My husband and I regret his passing. We have never met a nicer person than Brian. Our Prayers are with the family.
