The Brian Dancy Foundation for Colorectal Cancer Research
Established to provide compassionate and meaningful support to patients, deliver education to promote prevention, and offer resources to advance groundbreaking research for a cure.
Brian was a warrior, never letting his illness get in his way of brightening another person’s day. He loved people more than anything (except maybe golf) and thrived on meeting new acquaintances and learning their stories, as much as he enjoyed the company of lifelong friends. He connected with all on a level that few achieve - with the ability to make you feel special and interesting, downplaying his own achievements and attributes. Brian’s bright blue eyes, big smile and familiar nature drew folks quickly into various circles of friends. He was honest, kind, loyal and unforgettably funny. He lived to make others laugh. Here’s Brian Dancy in his own words and silver linings along the way.

The Life of Brian
The Life of Brian: How A Shop Owner Realized His Dream Goal
I didn't know Brian Dancy, but I surely wish I had.
The Greensboro, North Carolina man passed away on June 5 at the remarkably young age of 54. He died from complications of colorectal cancer, just a few years ago, realizing his life's dream of owning a business, which he did when he purchased United Metal Finishing in 2019.
For Brian, it was a lifelong goal to be his boss, to call his shots, to deal with the headaches of being the President and CEO, and to also reap the benefits of realizing the American Dream.

Honor Brian’s legacy by funding ways to support cancer patients and staff locally.
