Our Lord took home another good man. On the morning of November 11, 2025, Brian Scott McNamara passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Brian was born on April 17, 1979, in Rochester, PA, the son of Burt and Carol McNamara.

A 1997 graduate of Freedom Area High School, Brian went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems from the University of Pittsburgh in 2002.
