Obituary of Brian Robert Rolando

Please share a memory of Brian to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Rolando, Brian Robert age 27 of Fair Lawn at rest in Paterson on May 7, 2016. Dear son of Maurice Robert and Donna Michele (nee Sylvester) Rolando of Fair Lawn. Beloved brother of Raymond Rolando of Fair Lawn. Loving grandson of Carmine P. Sylvester, Josephine Sylvester and the late Maurice and Joan Rolando. Also survived by many aunts, uncles, great aunts, great uncles, cousins and friends. Born in Wayne, he lived in West Milford for most of his life before moving to Fair Lawn 10 years ago. He was a Supervisor Specialist for Security Industry Specialists INC., Jersey City, and prior to that, a security guard at Mondelez International, Fair Lawn. Brian attended West Milford High School and graduated from Fair Lawn High School. He earned an associate degree in criminal justice from Penn Foster College anticipating a career in law enforcement, but then refocused his plans in hopes of becoming a cardiologist, just like the doctor that saved his dad's life. His journey took him to Felician University and currently he was studying biology/pre-med with honors at Montclair State University. Brian was proud of his travels: as a teen to Japan with the Rotary Club student ambassador program and as a young adult living in Ireland for two years. He was a former volunteer at Ramapo Rescue Dog Association. A Manchester United fan, he loved to roller blade, work on his BMW, and attend Comicon. A man of faith, he was always paying it forward and will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial gathering at Festa Memorial Funeral Home, 111 Union Blvd, Totowa, on Wednesday from 4-8 PM, with a service at 6:30 PM. Cremation was private at the request of the family. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Ramapo Rescue Dog Association, PO Box 864, Ramsey, NJ 07446.
