Hilton Funeral Home
On Thursday, August 8, 2024, the world lost a truly unique, creative, kind, and accomplished soul - Dr. Brian Christopher Hanlon. Brian passed away suddenly at home in Clarksburg, MD. He was 48. For more than a decade, he was the cherished husband of Lisa Hanlon (nee Anderson) and the adored father of Grace Hanlon. In addition to his wife and daughter, Brian leaves behind a large and loving family, including mother Eileen Hanlon, brother Patrick Hanlon (Laura), sister Bridget Plitt (Steve), and brother Sean Hanlon (Cindy). Dr. Hanlon is also survived by nieces Chloe Hanlon, Claire Hanlon, Katharine Hanlon, Jessica Hanlon, Blair Dailey, Kylie Whitaker, Reese Whitaker, Alyssa Garagiola, and Erica Garagiola, by nephews Joey Hanlon (Mary), Colin Dailey, Shawn Whitaker, and Jonathan Garagiola, by great nephews Brantley and Tucker Hanlon, and by great niece Charlie Dias. Brian was preceded in death by his beloved father, Eugene Hanlon. Born in Silver Spring, MD, Brian grew up in Clarksburg, MD, then completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Maryland, College Park. Brian spent the early part of his career working for a variety of organizations, including Gladiator Trophies, Marriott International, and the United Parcel Service. After a serious work accident though, Brian experienced the healing power of acupuncture when all other treatments failed. This experience inspired him to pursue both a Masters and a Doctorate in Chinese Medicine. In practice, Dr. Hanlon became an extraordinary acupuncturist and a highly valued healer. Brian will be remembered for his love of martial arts, his great ability to see beauty and elegance in everyday life, his distinctive artwork, love of comics and graphic novels, and his devotion to his friends and family. Visitation will be held at Hilton Funeral Home, 22111 Beallsville Road, Barnesville, MD on Thursday, August 15, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
