Brian Moody’s Legacy
The William Brian Moody Foundation was started in 2017 by Maribeth, Will and Ben Moody to honor Brian Moody, wonderful husband and devout father, who died of glioblastoma brain cancer on March 27, 2016. Brian was the son of Bill and Audrey Moody. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina on Christmas Day 1963. Brian was a loyal brother to his sister Alison and brother Brantley and a true and faithful friend to so many people. He was known for his integrity, candor, pragmatism, quick wit and infectious smile. One of Brian’s favorite pastimes was attending Clemson football games and enjoying all the tailgating that went with the game. It was his idea of the perfect day…family, friends, food, beer and Clemson football. Brian loved more than anything to spend time with his sons, whom he considered his best friends.
Brian graduated from Middleton High school in 1982 and Clemson University in 1986. He was a CPA and owner and managing partner of Moody and O’Neal CPAs and Advisors. Formerly, he was managing partner of Gamble Givens and Moody LLC and Dixon Hughes Goodman LP. Throughout Brian’s life, he tried to follow what he called his “grand plan.” That plan was to leave Charleston and South Carolina better than he found it. He accomplished this by serving on many boards and committees from the Charleston County School Board, Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce, John Wesley United Methodist Church to the Operation Sight Board of Directors just to name a few.
The William Brian Moody Foundation is a way to remember Brian and continue his legacy of leadership and service to others. The Annual William Brian Moody Foundation Golf Tournament was introduced in 2018. The event is held the first Saturday in May and has served as a successful way to raise money to support the work of the foundation while enjoying a great day of golf, fun and fellowship.
