In Memoriam Raymond David Moser passed away on November 28 in Defiance, Ohio. He was the stepfather of Brian Snyder, DC (1983) professor, and grandfather of Jared Snyder, external relations coordinator, and Joseph Snyder, DC (2011). Brynn Haun passed away on January 5 in St. Louis, Missouri, after bravely battling Ewing’s sarcoma. Brynn was the 15-year-old daughter of Daniel Haun, DC, DACBR, assistant dean of faculty for the College of Chiropractic and assistant professor. Brynn was first diagnosed with cancer in seventh grade and overcame it in 2015. In 2017, a more aggressive form of the cancer returned. After extensive research into treatment
options, the teenager made the brave decision to refrain from further treatment. She spent her last months with the people she loved most and accomplishing some of her dreams, including seeing Dear Evan Hansen in New York, receiving her honorary high school diploma and earning the Young Womanhood Recognition Award from her church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Right before Christmas, her homecoming date, Andrew Jolly, proposed to her. In midJanuary, Brynn’s family held a memorial service at The Purser Center to celebrate Brynn’s character, strength, humorous personality and bright attitude.
