Brendan Coulter Obituary (1971 - 2023)

It is with deep love and appreciation for the life of Brendan Coulter that we celebrate his adventurous spirit, smart intellect, witty humor, and creative soul. Born in Orange, CA on April 21, 1971, Brendan was a vibrant and inquisitive child who grew into a man with a passion for exploring new places and ideas. As the great writer, J.R.R. Tolkien, once penned, "Not all those who wander are lost." Brendan's wanderlust led him to live in many cities across the United States, eventually finding his forever home in Texas, where he was surrounded by loving family members. In his professional life, Brendan was a dedicated Cytotechnologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of pathology. His educational achievements included a BS in Biology, an MS in Cellular Biology, and a certification as a Cytotechnologist. Brendan's pursuit of higher education was a testament to his intelligence, curiosity, and perseverance. His hobbies, including shuffleboard and gambling, demonstrated his adventurous and fun-loving nature. As Albert Einstein once said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun," and Brendan embodied this spirit wholeheartedly. Above all, what mattered most to Brendan was his family and the relationships he built with those he loved. In the latter part of his life, he prioritized reconnecting with his sons, Kyle, Riley, and Aidan, understanding that this bond was more valuable than any achievement or possession. Brendan is survived by his sisters Tara Holloway, Alanna Mallory, and Deirdre Mallory, his nieces Maureen, Brianna Mallory, and Alanna, his nephews Sean Coulter and Matthew Mallory, and his cousins Sonia Carrasco and Joann Marshall. He is preceded in death by his father James Coulter, mother Mary Coulter, and sister Siobhan. Brendan's love for his family and desire to bring them together will remain a cherished part of his legacy.
