Brian grew up in Bronx, New York, and later became a longtime resident of Beacon, New York, before settling in West Palm Beach in 2009. A proud Navy veteran, Brian dedicated his professional life to serving others as a funeral director and retired as the Vice President of the Local Teamsters Union 813. Known for his witty sense of humor and sharp memory, Brian brought warmth and laughter to those fortunate enough to know him.
An avid sports fan, reader and movie watcher with a soft spot for animals and a love of sweets, Brian found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He was a natural extrovert who formed lifelong friendships throughout his career and retirement years. Above all, he was a devoted father who cherished time spent with his three sons.
Brian is survived by his wife, Terri-Ann McElhoney; his sons Kyle McElhoney, Joseph McElhoney and his fiancée Wanna Sribunnak, and Spenser McElhoney and his fiancée Martyann Chromik. He is also survived by his sister Patricia Scibelli, her husband Chris, and his brother Michael McElhoney. Brian is also survived by multiple nieces and nephews, as well as many other close friends and extended family members.
Preceding Brian in heaven are his parents, James and Kathleen McElhoney and his sister Kathleen Wilday.
Brian’s legacy is one of love, humor, and connection. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date and time. If interested in attending, please send along contact information to the family at [email protected]. In lieu of flowers, Brian’s sons ask that you do something with a loved one/ones and think of him.
