'''Brian Keith Urlacher''' (born May 25th, 1978 in Pasco, Washington) is a linebacker for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League.
Early life
Brian Urlacher was born to a humble beginning in Pasco, Washington. His parents, Brad and Lavoyda, divorced during the 1980’s, leaving Lavoyda to take custody of the children. Eager to start a new life, Lavoyda moved her family to Lovington, New Mexico.
