In memory of Brian Michael Regan

To Brian's friends, colleagues, and loved ones:

On behalf of Nicole and the Regan family, it is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Brian passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 2 at the age of 42. Brian is survived by his wife Nicole, their two-year-old daughter Bria, his brother Jeff, his mother Allie, and his father Mike.

Long before he was my cofounder, Brian was my dear friend and trusted confidant as he was to so many of you. To me, Brian was a stolid man of the highest integrity. He was brave, kind, generous, quietly passionate, and profoundly loving. He was a man I admired; he made me want to be a better husband, father, brother, son, friend and leader. He believed deeply in bringing out the best in those around him. He went out of his way to give a shot to those who did not have the privileges he had. In life, athletics and work, Brian was — to use his expression — an 'exceptional teammate'. His impact on our lives has been immeasurable. He will be deeply missed, but he will not be forgotten.

The Regan family will hold a private memorial for Brian, but contributions and donations are greatly appreciated. In Nicole's words, the most important thing right now is to make Bria feel loved and supported in every way possible.

Thank you for helping Brian's family feel supported during this unimaginably difficult time.

With my love and gratitude,

Chris Faught
