Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let you and your family and friends know that we have made a small donation to the St. Jude Children´s Research Hospital in the name of Brian R. Conner US Army Sergeant.
We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals across the American youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,

Watch over her and lead her into the right direction. She has many serioius choices that will affect her future, help her choose wisely in her decisions. Shine down on this child and give her the peace she so well deserves in her life. Although i havent met you, i feel i know you thru her. She says your the only thing that was stable in her life...May peace be with you for eternity...

Hi Brian,
I thought I would take this time to say hello to you. So much has happen since I've left the military... Certainly, I've managed to hear from some of your friends...I know that none of us will ever forget you. Well, I can only imagine that you are laughing at me buying a motorcycle for my retirement present...So while there are so many nay Sayers out there in regards to my motorcycle I know that you're watching over me each time I ride out. Bis, you're truly missed each and everyday of my life. Love Respectfully...Ms.Emma Bryan "Sweetness""

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Brian, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Hello to all. Most of you know me. Now that I'm home from Iraq I wanted to take this time to acknowledge Brian and his love ones.
I found myslef sitting here reading the emails and replaying some of the last conversation we had while in Iraq and Kuwait today as well thinking of Brian and the exceptional father, family member, friend and man he was and still to this day remember as. Many all of us continue to go forth and doing great things as Brian did. I pray that God will continue to grant us peace today and the days to come. Respectfully,

I knew Sgt Conner as Lt Conner in the Baltimore City Fire Department. He was always telling jokes and also joking with us. I remember when he had just found out he had to go to Iraq. He just said, "It's what I have to do." He will always live on in my heart, and he is a true hero in my mind.

To Brian and family:
I'll keep it light. Here's one of my Brian stories... We all know the "Terminator" movies - well I regularly would greet Brian in that voice that the cyborg creature had in those movies. As y'all might remember, one of the main characters in those films was "Brian Conner". He was the key to saving humanity. Maybe Brian will help do that for us now in the form of the Archangel that he has become... He always got a smile from my "Terminator" impression :-)
Lovingly submitted, Gary

I am truly sorry to learn of this very sad news and pray that God will bring you comfort during this time. Brian was a soldier of unique talent and abilities, he made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the cause of freedom. He is now counted among those our children of today and tomorrow will call "heroes". May we always cherish their service and committment and be even more committed to do good because of what they did. We all truly miss Brian.

To The Family and Friends of Brian,
One life lost, is one life too many. We are just getting our lives back in order after losing our beloved Granddaughter, A1C Elizabeth N. Jacobson, the First Female Security Forces Blue Beret, who lost her life in Iraq, 9-28-05. She is now guarding the gates in Heaven while waiting for Brian, and we want you to know that he will not be forgotten and hope that you will be as proud of him for serving as we were of Elizabeth. Without our children this Country would not be what it is today, whether from the first War for freedom until today's wars, we give our lives so Freedom can be obtained. I wish it was different, but unfortunately, it is going to be someone's loved one. May G-d bless our troops, and hopefully, someday Freedom and Peace will reign, so they all can be brought home safely.
No matter what type of accident or act of war, a loss of a child or friend is very traumatic, I know that it isn't much consolation, I hope that you know that there are others that feel your pain.
Elizabeth's motto was "We're only on Earth for a little while, so live life to the fullest and carry a smile."
prayers to you all
