Brian was born in Detroit, Michigan on June 30, 1942 to the late Raymond Reginald Sharon and Mary Catherine Skorin. He graduated from Ferndale High School in 1960 and completed an occupational training program in TV Tech. Brian enjoyed playing baseball and hunting and fishing with his uncles in Michigan and Canada. As a boy, he worked as a paperboy for the Detroit News. As a teenager, he made pizzas at a pizza parlor, was a cheerleader for one football season and helped out at his Uncle George’s barber shop. He served in the United States Army from 1963 – 1966, including a tour in South Korea. He later took classes at Wayne State University and received a certificate of completion from Walsh College of Accountancy and Business Administration in 1969. He met Marie Ann Rozenboom while working for Winkleman’s Department Store. They married on May 25, 1968 in St. John’s Episcopal Church in Royal Oak, Michigan. In 1977, they joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and were sealed in the Washington D.C. temple. Church was a center-point of Brian’s life. He held callings in branches, wards and stakes. He served in a branch presidency at the Provo Missionary Training Center with his wife, and they served as stake missionaries in the American Fork West Stake. Following a move to South Weber, he served as a temple worker in Ogden, Utah. Brian was the unofficial greeter in any chapel he entered and always had the loudest and most enthusiastic “Amen.” Brian’s vocational life included a brief time as a Controller for Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield, Wisconsin where his family made their home; and for Shared Medical Systems as a Senior Account Executive. His long-term career was with Automatic Data Processing (ADP) as a Senior Account Executive. Following his retirement, Brian graduated from Stringham Real Estate School.
