Obituary..................... REGN, BRIAN
Brian Fitzgerald Regn, 56, of Nazareth, gracefully took his
last flight home, Monday, Dec. 25, 2017. He was the loving husband of Suzanne
Regn for 22 wonderful years.
Brian was born Sept. 22, 1961 in New Brunswick, NJ. He was the
beloved son of Mary Ellen Regn of Nazareth and Henry Regn of New Albany,
PA.
Brian graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, of
Prescott, AZ, with a degree in aeronautical science. He attained his lifelong
dream of becoming a pilot; but unfortunately, due to his illness, he was forced
to end his career as a Captain for Delta Airlines, which he was so proud to work
for. Following the Sept. 11 attacks, Brian became an armed Federal Flight Deck
Officer to defend the cockpit from any potential threats.
Brian became involved in Nazareth Borough government in 2012
and was appointed to Nazareth Council in 2014. Brian was the "voice of reason"
on Council where he chose his words wisely, with the commitment of a devoted
elected official. Most importantly, he brought integrity and dedication to his
distinguished Council career while gaining the admiration of all who served with
him.
Besides his wife and parents, Brian will be greatly missed by
his son, Connor Regn, at home; brothers, Todd Regn of Nazareth, Matthew Regn and
wife, Betsy, of Havertown, and by his sister, Elizabeth Taylor and husband,
Robert, of Bloomsbury, NJ. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews.
Brian will be reunited with his predeceased brother, Andrew Regn.
As an avid hunter and outdoorsman, Brian will be sorely missed
by his Longview Lodge Gang, where he spent many hunting seasons. Brian's love of
adventure and motorcycles led him to meet some meaningful friends he considered
his brothers. Together they traveled locally and the country to various
motorcycle rallies, building comradeship and forever memories along the way. The
many social clubs where he was a member of will greatly miss his infectious
personality. As his many dear friends would attest, Brian had the rare ability
to make anyone he encountered feel welcomed with his quick wit, incredible
humor, and open kind soul. He will be remembered for his remarkable talent, he
was a jack of all trades. He would do anything for anyone in need. Being a
lifelong NY Giants fan, Brian jokingly requested that players from the team act
as pallbearers to "let him down" one last time.
Services will be Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. in the
Joseph F. Reichel Funeral Home Inc., of Nazareth. Followed by a Mass of
Christian Burial at 11 a.m. in Holy Family Catholic Church, of Nazareth. Burial
in Holy Family Cemetery, of Nazareth. Calling hours will be Monday, from 2 to 4
and 6 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Brian's memory to
Wreaths Across America, P.O. Box 249, Columbia Falls, ME 04623, or in c/o the
funeral home. Online condolences may be offered at www.jfreichelfuneralhome.com
