Remembering Brian Haner: A Tribute to an Inspirational Leader
Repost from Image Source:
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brian Haner, the Founder and CEO of Image Source. Brian was not just a leader but a visionary who left an indelible mark on our company and the industry as a whole. His untimely departure has left a void in our hearts, but his legacy of passion, inspiration, and service will continue to guide us forward.
Brian Haner was more than just a CEO; he was a mentor, a friend, and a beacon of positivity. With his leadership and guidance, alongside Image Source President Thomas Goos, Brian helped transform our company from humble beginnings into the thriving, multi-million-dollar enterprise it is today. His dedication to excellence and unwavering commitment to the success of our team set the standard for all of us to follow.
One of Brian's most remarkable qualities was his ability to light up a room with his infectious energy and genuine warmth. He had a gift for connecting with people and building lasting relationships, both within our company and throughout the industry. His absence leaves a palpable void, but his spirit will continue to inspire us each day.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Brian was deeply committed to giving back to his community. As a proud board member of Junior Achievement of Washington, he worked tirelessly to empower young people and foster their entrepreneurial spirit. In honor of Brian's memory, we encourage donations to Junior Achievement of Washington, supporting a cause that was near and dear to his heart.
While we mourn the loss of Brian, we also celebrate his life and the profound impact he had on all who knew him. His legacy lives on through the strong foundation he built at Image Source and the countless lives he touched along the way.
Brian is survived by his mother Beverly and his two adult children, Austin Haner and Bailey McKenzie, both of whom continue to be integral members of the Image Source family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.
As we navigate this loss, we are reminded of Brian's vision, his passion for excellence, and his unwavering belief in the potential of each and every one of us. We are committed to honoring his memory by continuing to uphold the values and principles he instilled in us.
In the words of Thomas Goos, Image Source President, "Brian's friendship and leadership will be greatly missed, but his spirit will always be a guiding light for us all."
Rest in peace, Brian Haner. Your legacy will forever be cherished and remembered.
Sincerely, the Image Source & Reciprocity Road Family
