He was preceded in death by an infant brother, James William McKearan, Jr., his grandparents, Daniel Thomas and Mary (Carr) McKearan, Ophey Gabriel and Malvina (Foret) Broussard, his father, James William McKearan, Sr. and his mother, Lynn (Broussard) McKearan.

A faithful Tulane fan, Brian will be remembered for his love of animals, hunting and fishing with his best friends Mike and Chris, and making us laugh with his impressions. He had a natural talent for drawing wildlife, an amazing memory for sports stats and classic TV trivia. An avid reader, he had an impressive knowledge of World War history. We will miss him dearly. The family would like to thank the staff of St. Joseph Hospice who cared for Brian with utmost care and compassion.
