Sea Bright resident Briane J. McLoone passed away peacefully after a brief illness on Nov. 8. He was 70.

Born in Brooklyn, NY to Joe and Marie McLoone, Briane was raised in South Orange, where he attended Our Lady of Sorrows Grammar School and Seton Hall Preparatory School.

After graduating from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, he spent most of his working life doing publicity and marketing for Freehold Raceway.

In recent years, he worked at the family restaurant business. He had a sharp wit and was a keen observer of the national political scene. His two great passions, aside from family, were his love of golf and photography.

Briane was predeceased by: his parents, Joseph and Marie McLoone; and his son Stephen.

Briane is survived by: his son, Joseph, and wife Elena, of London, England and their daughter Cassandra; his daughter, Jillian Manno, and her husband Steffan and their children Frank, Yasmine, Sasha, Maceo and Paolo; his brother, Tim, and wife Beth and their children Molly, Jack, Connor, and Hannah. He is also survived by his former wife, Gael Finan.

Services are private at Thompson Memorial Home, Red Bank. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Eastern Christian Retreat, which took such loving care of his son Stephen.
