Brian Carl Wallace, of Dallas, Texas passed away at age 51 on November 29th, 2019. Brian was born on August 6th, 1968, the son of Pamela Ann McDonald and Michael Alan Wallace.
Brian attended Good Shepherd Episcopal School for his Elementary and Middle School years, where he appeared as the lead in Bye Bye Birdie at age 13. He went on to attend Jesuit Preparatory College during high school and graduated from Warren Travis White High School in 1986.
He began his college career at Ole Miss and graduated from The University of Texas at Dallas in 1990. Brian worked as a weekend caregiver at a home for autistic children while acquiring his degree in Psychology. He was beloved by the parents whose children he cared for and they considered him family.
After college, he pursued his passion for storytelling by working as a freelance writer. He then attained his dream of becoming an author by publishing two books.
Brian loved to travel, was an avid book reader, a brilliant wordsmith, and made lifelong friends wherever his adventures took him. He was affectionately referred to as "B" by his co-workers and "Bri", "Tio", and "Uncle Brian" to his loving family. He will be remembered most for his love and kindness towards others. Even in his last days on earth he simply stated, "the most important thing to remember is to love each other. It's all about love."
