Brian Mahoney, MD

Brian died 11/7/2025 in hospice care surrounded by family . Brian will be terribly missed by his immediate family, Nancy Collins, Katie Mahoney, Meredith Mahoney and Dan Mahoney, son-in-laws Shane Roach and Armintas Sinkevicius, and grandchildren Danide, Roman, Ainsley, McKenna and Cullan. He was the protector, advisor and fixer for all of us.

He was born in Englewood, NJ to Frank and May Mahoney with an older brother Frank. He graduated from Wesleyan University in CT, Magna Cum Laud, University of Vermont Medical College and then started his residency in Emergency Medicine at Hennepin County Hospital in 1973 where he stayed for his entire career until his retirement in June 2016. His passion was Emergency Medical Services, spending 20 of those years as its director. His reach in that field was huge, providing direct care in the emergency room at HCMC as well as administration, writing, editing, teaching and research at the city, county, state, national and international levels and more. One of his proudest accomplishments was his work with Ed Lord, publishing their results in a 1986 article" Operations Plan for the National Disaster Medical System Minneapolis-St. Paul." The development of this system was demonstrated in the metro wide emergency response to the 35 W bridge collapse.

His body will undergo Terramation at ReturnHome in Auburn, Washington with a celebration of life early next summer at his MN home.

His memory can be honored by donations at Unlimited Potential (PO Box 8814, Phoenix, AZ 85066), Wesleyan University (Calhoun '62 MEN'S Crew Endowment Fund or WOMEN'S Crew Endowment Fund) or University of Vermont Larner Fund.
