January 13, 1973 – August 20, 2021
Brian was born on January 13, 1973 in Webster, Texas to William Carl and Sherry Lee (Darling) McCord.
He is survived by his parents, William Carl and Sherry McCord; wife, Heather McCord; sons, Wesley Carl McCord and Randall Wayne McCord; step-children, Kenneth and Darin Kleb and John and Stacey Pousson; grandson, Benjamin Pousson; sister, Stacy de la Rua; nephew Austin Joseph se la Rua, as well as many extended family members and close friends.
Many words can be used to describe Brian: hard-working, loving, funny, giving, charismatic, stubborn, reliable, confident, and most of all intentional. All of which made him the incredible man he was, though he will be remembered best as a truly devoted husband, son, brother, father, step-father, grandfather and friend to so many.
Brian will forever be remembered for his one-of-a-kind charming personality, the compassion he had for his loved ones and his infectious laughter which could light up any room. He lived his life to the fullest and weathered his struggles with a great sense of humor. Brian never met a stranger and had an uncanny ability to carry on a conversation with anyone. He was passionate about his family, friends and motorsports.
Brian’s larger than life personality, love for God, and commitment to his family and friends had him sharing encouragement and words of wisdom to his loved ones right until the very end. He lived each day by these words, “At the end of the day, there’s only two cants in this world: if you can’t do it, you can’t stay. Get off your rear, after you get on your knees, get up and make it happen. Because if it’s meant to be, it’s up to me… and remember – God’s got this.”
Brian will be dearly missed, but the love, friendship, support and encouragement he shared will forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of all who knew him.

Carl and Sherry and Stacey and rest of family that I haven’t had the pleasure of getting to know:
I’m saddened to see that your kind and cheerful Brian left this earth. Can’t imagine what you’re feeling….my prayers are for God to come near and give you a big hug and give you His peace! So many wonderful memories will abound and give you joy, for the wonderful man you raised, lived with and surrendered to Jesus.
Sending love,
Andrew and Christine Messarra
To the entire McCord family,
I am so saddened to hear of Brian's passing. He was the kindest of souls…always ready to give his shirt off his back, or do whatever you needed to be done. I remember needing to get injections for an iron deficiency due to my lupus and Brian said he would be happy to help (when no one in my family could do it). He actually taught me how to do it myself, and I remember still coming over to have him give me the injections anyway just to spend some time with him and share laughter. Several years ago when my husband was dealing with diabetic issues, Brian was such a wealth of knowledge and guidance. I will always remember his smile, laugh and hugs that made you feel safe. He loved his family with all his being. He was the most loyal person I have ever met. Brian will forever be remembered as my 'older brother' and the only one who ever stuck up for me when people called me pop-eye. What an amazing gift God gave us with Brian and I know that even though he has gone to his heavenly home, he will always be here on earth watching over and taking care of us all. I hope that the good memories of Brian will help his family during this difficult time of missing him. Prayer and love to Mr. and Mrs. McCord, his sister, his wife and his children. Brian was and will always be a hero to me. Sending my love and sympathy,
I had the pleasure of knowing Brian as a young man. His family lived around the corner from ours, and my daughters Stephanie and Kristin went to school with him. Brian was a remarkably pleasant young man, very enthusiastic and very polite. His smile was contagious as was his ever present laughter. Our condolences to Carl, Sherry and the family.
We are very saddened to hear this news. He was a great person and always made us laugh! He will be greatly missed by us all.
