    Tim Breen, president and CEO of Motion Industries Inc., died on Aug. 18 after a battle with cancer. He was 58. 

    Breen began his career with Berry Bearing Co. in 1982 as a sales representative, and he continued to advance through the ranks as the company joined forces with Birmingham, Ala.-based Motion Industries in 1993.

    Motion Industries is a distributor of maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) replacement parts and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Genuine Parts Co.

    In his memory, his family suggests that people donate to organizations that help support cancer victims and their families.
