Brian McBride (61) of Sun City, Bluffton, SC, and formerly of Rego Park, Queens NY passed peacefully in his home February 2, 2023.
Brian was the son of the late Donald and Jeannine McBride and has also joined his son Michael and siblings Donald, Tommy, Loretta, Debbie and Jeannine in Heaven. Brian is survived by his daughter Meghan, Granddaughter (Arianna), and sister Elissa (Jimmy). Brian was an amazing Uncle to Donald, Richard, Thomas, Lea and Breezy; Jacqui (Mark; Matthew, Riley and Mackenzie), John, Dylan; CarolAnn (Jayson). Brian was always so proud of each of their accomplishments and cherished time spent with family.
When Brian and Carol moved to Sun City they lived like every day was a vacation day. They truly loved the friends they made and the community they became a part of. Brian was so proud of his 25 years spent as an Officer of the NYPD and is a true hero for spending many months down at Ground Zero after 911. Brian and Carol were such an inspiration to those around them through their strength, positivity and genuine love for life. They truly lived every day. Brian believed strongly in his faith and knew he would be with the love of his life, passing almost a year to the day Carol passed. Brian loved the NY Jets and was a devoted NY Rangers and Mets fan. Brian really enjoyed playing Golf with his buddies but especially with Carol.
With an Irish twinkle in his eye and his heart of gold, he is already missed by all those whose lives he touched.
There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they are gone, their Light Remains.
