Dear Wake Forest students, faculty and staff,

We are saddened to announce that Brian Colson, a member of the Parking & Transportation Services Department staff, died early this morning.

Colson joined Wake Forest’s staff in 2017 and worked as a shuttle driver.

We grieve his death and extend our condolences to his family and friends, as well as those at Wake Forest who had the opportunity to know him.

Information about a service for Colson will be announced to faculty, staff and students once his family has made arrangements.
