Today I did some B.org searching and discovered a beautiful story. I learned about Brian Morden, an amazing young man who was a good friend, always happy and positive, and a source of joy to those around him. During his battle with cancer Brian was a model of strength, perseverance, and, in the end, of a humble Christian acceptance of his situation. He was also a fellow Tolkien and Bungie fan, and I wish I had the chance to know him. Brian Morden passed away ten years ago on February 15, 2003. RIP Brian.

I forgot that post and didn't know who they were talking about at the time; I just happened to learn about Brian today. Sounds like he was an awesome guy.

Yeah, he was nice to us newbies. (As I was at the time, of course.) I always mention him if I am playing Halo with my friends.

Bet he'd be right here anticipating Destiny with us if he had his druthers. Seems like his type of game.

I will never forget the day that Brian was in our studio in 2001 as part of the Make A Wish Foundation. It was his wish to come to Bungie and we made it happen. Amongst other things we put him the VO booth and he had fun behind the microphone recording lots of different stuff. If you didn't know it is his voice in Halo 1 as the pod drops to Halo that says "The Autumn she's been hit!".

I have been part of hosting countless Make A Wish Kids over the last 13 years (some have survived and some have not) but Brian as the first one I encountered will always remain in my memories.

Just so you all know Brian's voice has been in every Halo game and it will be in Destiny too...I promise.

Welcome to our new universe...I think your going to love it...

Cheers, JAY aka the man behind the man

I'd heard about something like that but I didn't know if it was true, or if it was still true after several games... that's interesting (and kind of touching)....
