Brian Edward Boggan Jr., age 17, went home to be with the Lord on November 16, 2016.

Also known As “Mr. Man and BB”

On February 6, 1999, at Marymount Hospital in Garfield Heights, Ohio, a handsome young man by the name of Brian Edward Boggan Jr. was born to Brian Edward Boggan Sr., and Alisha Weems.

Brian Jr., was born with a cleft lip and palate which caused him to have several surgeries and a speech impairment. Although born with the cleft lip and palate, he did not allow his appearance to be a deterrent.

Brian Jr., accepted Christ at an early age.  He attended Pentecostal Church of Christ, under the pastorate of Bishop J. Delano Ellis, II and Dr. Sabrina Joyce Ellis, with his grandmother, Celeste Mitchell before relocating to California.

Brian was raised in Twinsburg, Ohio, attending the Twinsburg School System.  In 2014 his mother relocated to Orange County, California where he attended Trabuco Hills High School, during his Junior and Senior High years. Brian would have graduated with the Class of 2017.  Brian expressed that he had ambitions to become a pilot and aerial photographer. He was intelligent and viewed the world differently through his own eyes. When he expressed himself, he often questioned the actions of others within the world. He was a great debater and educator and if you didn’t know the facts he would shut you down with a smirk and or a stare.

Brian was a very respectful and caring gentleman, who loved to save money, while in school he worked in a program that allowed him the opportunity to become employed at T. J. Maxx and CVS.  His favorite foods were chocolate chip cookies, and pizza even though he did not like cheese, his favorite past time was Gaming, he loved video games and he loved people, often volunteering with the Red Cross.  He enjoyed being around his brother, Bryce, friends, and relatives. When it was time for him to have his space, move out the way because he would not let anyone take it away.

Brian Jr., is survived by his father, Brian Boggan Sr; mother, Alisha Weems; brothers, Bryce Boggan and Isaiah Boggan. Grandmothers, Celeste Mitchell and JoAnn Douglas;  grandfather, Earl Pollard and Dempsey Boggan (deceased); 6 uncles, 12 aunts, and a host of great uncles, great aunts, and over 30 cousins.
