Hi everyone,
I just wanted to 'close the circle' so to speak. Brian passed away Sunday morning. His funeral will be held tomorrow. Please see his obituary below for details:
Brian
Goldman died peacefully Sunday morning after a long battle with colon
cancer. He is survived by his wife, Michele, his two adored sons,
Jared and Ben, his parents Jill and Alan Goldman, his sisters Betsy
Goldman and Melissa Rouse, brother-in-law Scott Rouse, nephews Jake
and Austin Rouse, brother and sister-in-laws Mark and Tamar Hauptman
and their children, Jacob, Rebecca, Gabrielle, and Noah. He is also
survived by his precious Mudpuppy family.
Brian died too
young, but he lived more in his 50 years here than most people could
in a hundred. In every endeavor he undertook, he strived to be the
best he could be. He was a life-long swimmer with a passion for the
sport. He held records for years at North Hills Club, and went on to
swim for Duke during his undergraduate years. Seven years ago, he
combined that love of sport and love of coaching and started the
Mudpuppies Swim Team at Meredith Townes Pool. Under his loving
leadership, the team achieved unprecedented success, winning division
championships for the last five years, with undefeated seasons for
the last three. For him, more important than the wins were the life
lessons he shared with his young swimmers.
Brian was also a
beloved physician practicing at Raleigh Medical Group since 2002. His
patients remember him for the care and attention he showed them, and
his philosophy that health is really about living well and enjoying
life.
He certainly embodied that motto. He loved being in
nature, learning new things, and experiencing new adventures. Most of
all, he loved spending time with his family. To the best of his
ability, he held on to his passions until the very end. He will be
profoundly missed.
A funeral service to honor his life will be
held on March 12, 2015 at 10 am at Temple Beth Or, 5315 Creedmoor
Road, Raleigh. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Brian's
honor to Swim Across America, www.swimacross america.org
