Robert Bryan Mullen

Bryan was born on April 25, 1969 in Marshalltown, Iowa, to Robert C. and Celesta R. (Schmidt) Mullen. He attended both Trinity and Rangely High Schools, and after graduation he moved to Grand Junction to enroll at Mesa State College. Bryan graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and went on to become a licensed professional counselor. He was a family therapist for Mesa County at the time of his passing. Bryan married Julie Lane, and together they had two daughters, Kaylee and Emilee. They later divorced. Throughout his life he lived in Iowa, Alaska, and Kansas, before settling in Grand Junction where he spent the last 30 years. He was a member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. Bryan loved spending time with his family and friends; and enjoyed sports, fishing, boating, and coaching. But nothing made him happier than being a father to his two beautiful daughters.

Bryan is survived by his mother, Celesta R. (Henry Kiang) Mullen of Grand Junction; daughters, Kaylee R. Mullen, and Emilee R. Mullen, both of Grand Junction; and his brothers, Michael L. (Gretchen S.) Mullen of Westminster, Colorado, and Kevin C. (Jenny M.) Mullen of Troy, New York. He is preceded in death by his father, Robert C. Mullen; brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Debra Mullen; and his niece, Bryanna Mullen.
