Brian Dean Morwood

Brian Dean Morwood, a devoted husband, father, son and brother passed away on January 27, 2025, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter and unforgettable memories.

 Born on January 24, 1977, in Merced, CA, to William Robert Morwood and Rita Jean Alison, Brian’s early years were shaped by adventure and change, thanks to his father’s service in the U. S. Air Force. Moving from place to place, he learned to adapt, make friends quickly, and find joy in the little things. As a young man, he put down roots in Tennessee, where he built a life filled with love, hard work, and the people who meant the most to him.

 Brian had an incredible work ethic and spent much of his career as a freight driver before transitioning to a U. S. Postal Service contractor, a job he took on with encouragement from his sister. Through company buyouts and changes, he remained steady and committed, eventually becoming the first Dock Manager for EVO Transportation at the Nashville hub. He wasn’t just a leader at work—he was a mentor, a friend, and someone people could always count on.

 But Brian was so much more than his job. He was the guy who could make anyone laugh with his sharp wit and perfect timing. His love of music was legendary—his playlists jumped from Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley to the Beastie Boys and even Insane Clown Posse without missing a beat. He could talk for hours about horror movies, dissecting every twist and scare. And he was always up for a late-night gaming session, diving into MMORPGs and first-person shooters with enthusiasm, always committed to creating the perfect character build.

 His kindness wasn’t just something he showed to people—it was part of who he was, extending to every creature that crossed his path. Animals had a special place in Brian’s heart. Whether it was a stray in need of a home or a pet that became family, he took in and cared for countless dogs, cats and even chickens over the years. Sadly, he never could convince his wife to get a ferret.

 More than anything, Brian loved his family. He was a devoted husband to Susan, and a proud father to Kieran, Malorie, Connor, and Trevor. He carried his parents, Rita (married to Lee) and William, and his grandmother, Joan Gore, in his heart always. He shared unbreakable bonds with his siblings, Bill (Cassandra), Bambi (Billy), Breena (Josh), Sonia (Donald), Jarvis, and Bucky (iykyk). His extended family and friends meant the world to him, and he never hesitated to show it.

 Brian was the kind of person who left an impression—someone who made life richer, funnier, and more meaningful just by being in it. His memory will live on in the stories, laughter, and love of those who were lucky enough to know him.

 May his legacy remind us all to be kind and embrace life fully
