On August 17, 2014, I lost my father James Brian Fagan Sr. to a long term Cardiac illness. My parents Brian and Tyloo Fagan have been married for 56 years. He was a dedicated husband and father, to the twins, Scott and John, and Jimi. My father was a Veteran Green Beret in the US Army during the start of Vietnam, he serve 4 years in the military mostly in Laos. He was a self employed painting contractor all his life. In his younger years, his passion was martial arts. As time pasted and he mellowed: Sailing and Art became his infatuation often painting sailboats. He and my Mom retired to New Orleans, to enjoy the music and the artistic life style it had to offer. Shortly after, my father became ill. After years of multiple hospitalizations and growing medical bills it became harder and harder to live off their retirement. Unfortunately, now my Mom bears the burden of the house and all the expenses from all the medical treatments. Times are hard but we will prevail. It is at this time, we ask in lieu of flowers donations be made to the family to offset funeral expenses.
We share comfort in knowing Brian is no longer suffering. We send thoughts of sympathy and support to Tyloo as she begins her journey without Brian. It is at this time, we ask in lieu of flowers donations be made to the family to offset funeral expenses.
