Brian Dunn Priestley, 28, passed away on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2008, while on vacation in Vietnam.  Born in Elizabeth, NJ, Brian lived most of his life in Westfield, NJ.  He moved to Chicago in February of 2006 where he met his girlfriend Becky Taylor.  Brian and Becky moved to Hong Kong a year later.

He loved to ski and to golf, especially at the Echo Lake Country Club, where he was a member while living in the area.
Brian always lived life to the fullest and welcomed new challenges. He treated life as an adventure and thoroughly enjoyed traveling to Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, China, England and Spain, both for work and pleasure. Over the Christmas and New Years holiday, his family was fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend time with Brian and Becky in Hawaii.
His family and friends remember Brians smile as he took in all life had to offer. He cherished life, friends and the experiences that make life worth living. Brian was predeceased by his loving grandmother, Ruth Thomas Dunn, and grandfather, Thomas G. Dunn, former mayor of Elizabeth and New Jersey state senator, and by his grandfather, William Edward Priestley. He is survived by his parents, Robert and Kathleen Dunn Priestley; his sister, Mairin Kileen Priestley; grandmother, Mae Priestley, and loving friend, Rebecca Taylor. Brian was a beloved nephew and devoted cousin to his many relatives.
He will forever be remembered by countless friends as was demonstrated by the outpouring of calls and communications from around the globe to the family, a true testament to him and the love and camaraderie people shared with Brian.
