To Brian's famiy - I am so sorry for your loss.  Brian was a great guy and will be missed by many.

Brian, dude, my locker was right next to yours throughout high school.  Oh how I enjoyed seeing you at our lockers!  I could always count on you to lift my spirit with a friendly greeting and smile.  While most of the time we were in a hurry to get to the next class, we also had times when we could relax and watch the girls walk down the hallway... usually away from us!!  The jokes and the laughter we shared standing in the hallway are fond memories of our high school years.  In this incredibly difficult time, I can only hope your family will be able to eventually find peace and resolution with your passing.  Tonight I will raise my glass in your honor to celebrate your life and all the good memories.  You will be missed Brian.  As Billy Joel sang back in '77, Only The Good Die Young.... and you were definitely one of the good guys.

Peace.

Your old Friend,

Ford (Mayo class of '78)

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I have worked with Brian on and off over the last couple of years and in that short time I relized what a fun and kind hearrted man Brian was.  I will miss him as well as my co-workers.

Like everyone else, I am stunned about this news. I was looking over his pictures on facebook and it struck me that every single picture he posted was a picture with family or friends. I am so grateful that I attended this last class reunion as he enjoyed it so much. He was so excited to be a part of the next one. He wanted us all to go camping and sit around the campfire, sing, play guitar and have some beers. That's how he was. A simple man with simple expectations of others. In his honor, we will do just that at our next reunion. My heart is aching for his wife and children and all who loved him. Look to the stars, as he will certainly continue to shine down on all of us.

Rochelle, Brock and Courtney,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this very difficult time.  We feel blessed to have had Brian and all of you as a part of our lives and an extension of our family.  Brian was deeply loved by us and so many others.  He will be greatly missed.  We are here for you in any way that you need us, not only now but in the months and years to come.

We love you!

Deb, Gene, Alex & Alisha

I will be there tomorrow in spirit. Brian touched so many hearts. He will be missed so much. I send lots of love to his family and friends. Brian will be missed so much by so many.
