Brian G. Lord

Brian Gene Lord, age 49, born March 15, 1977 passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 26, 2026.

Brian was the beloved husband to Jennifer, father to Andrew and William. He is survived by his parents, Allen and Linda Lord, siblings Stacy Mitchael (sister), Lee Lord (wife Jin), Cannon Lord (wife Jen), nieces and nephews Mykala, Orion, LJ, Angelia, Brock, Hope, Ahri and Clay, among numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Brian was born in Camp Lejuene, NC, growing up in Rogers, AR. He was very active in Soccer and Baseball. Brian enlisted in the Marine Corps in July 1995 as an Aircraft Firefighting and Rescue Specialist. His duty stations included Cherry Point, NC, Okinawa, Japan with his final duty station at Quantico, VA where he met his future bride, Jennifer.

Brian began his distinguished civilian service career soon after he was honorably discharged in August 1999. He began his career working for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in VA. He travelled throughout the U.S., Europe, Central Asia and Africa. Brian received a Diploma from the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) in Leavenworth, KS in 2011. Brian transitioned to the Air Force Space Command, then to the United States Space Force while in CO. Working for Space Operations Command (SPOC), United States Space Force Command (USSPACECOM), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) as a Foreign Disclosure Officer. He finally landed at Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) as the Deputy Director Chief, International Affairs at Patrick SFB, FL.

Brian was a man with limitless talents, a life-long friend to many and a devoted family man. His love of camping, boating and fishing (fresh water & ice), grilling and smoking the most delicious meats, all while wearing his “entertaining” t-shirts will be missed by all. There was almost nothing he could not do “around the house”. You could see his pride in workmanship in everything he touched. Those that had the honor of knowing him and calling him a friend knew his faithful and generous spirit.

A limb has fallen from our family tree that says “grieve not for me, remember the best times, the laughter and the song and most of all, the good life I lived while I was strong”. Most of all he will be greatly missed by his wife and two sons. His was a life taken too soon.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in honor of Brian to his son’s future education.
