Bk speading cheer at my wedding.

From the first time I met BK, some 8ish years ago, a hand shake was never enough. If we said hello or good-bye, it was with a big hug that made me feel I was really part of the Klungeseter family; like I was a special person he wanted to hold onto. I'm sure everyone he crossed paths with felt the same love. I will always hold him that way, in my heart. Some day will come when I can think about him without the tears and pain of missing him. Then I will be able to just enjoy all the great memories of the times I got to shared with him.

You will be missed so much.

Bryan David Klungreseter who would have thought a little brown eyed boy with such a big smile could impact so many lives. My nephew Bryan was so very special to my family.

Bryan I know you our up there watching over us. I hope you see how many people love and miss you. I love you and miss you so much. I will think about you and remember your infectous smile and heart of gold for the rest of my life. Jove Auntie Barbara

Little Did We Know That Morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to loose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day god called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

My cousin, my brother, my friend.....I will miss you so very much. You are at peace and I am glad for that.
Uncle David & Aunt Vickey- We love you and we will honor Bryans' constant request of making more time for family.

Bryan, you are my friend, a teammate, and adopted brother...We spent the "magic summer" together in high school and our adventures continued together. You were a light in dark times, and a loyal friend in times of wrongs. I will hold your spirit in my heartbeats and will hear your laughs with the rising of the sun. I know that you are in the hands of God and I hope to be with you in the pastures of heaven. You will not be forgotten in this life or the next. Hanta yo my friend- "clear the way and let my people go free." I will love you always my brother.

Although I have not spoken to him in many years I will miss my old friend very much. I know that he is in a great place with our Lord and Savior and will always be smiling upon us from above. Thanks Bryan for all the great memories.

Dear Family,
I was shocked to read of Byran's death. He was such a wonderful third grader with that contagious smile. He was always a friend to everyone ! Those days at Conway will always be precious to me, as I am sure they were precious to Byran and Kelly too.
May Bryan's love always live on in your hearts. With deepest sympathy, Kay Galyean

To David, Vicki, Kelly and family - we love you so very much and wish we could be there in person to hold you tight. Know that our hearts are there with you and pray for some measure of peace.
Love you more than words can express

The fabric of my life is made so much richer for the pieces you have added to me and for that I will be eternally grateful my dear nephew. For now I will learn to live with the empty place I hold for you but I am certain it will be filled when we meet again.

To my dear family I extend my regret for not being there to take you in my arms to hold and hang on to but know that I am with you in all ways but the one of presence.

I was totally floored when I read this on Friday. I knew Bryan and his family since my little league days at Washington Park, Escondido High School, and of course all-stars. Bryan was a great friend, teammate, and a great person. I will miss his imitation of Willie Mays Hayes from the movie Major League. My thoughts go out to his family. You were always family to us!

My heart aches. I will treasure the memories of my big brother forever and I will carry his spirit with me, now and for always. Uncle David, Aunt Vicki, and Kelly, I wish I could be there to celebrate the man with the never-ending smile. All of my love to the whole family...
And now he climbs the stairway to heaven and basks in the glory of our Lord.

Love always and forever

Dear Dave and Vickie,
Jim and I read of Bryan's passing in the NC Times, and are heartbroken for you and Kelly and her family. I know your faith in the Lord is tremendously strong, and I know you will lean on your Savior during this most difficult of times. Jim and I are praying that God will comfort you in your sorrow and grief, and that someday He will lift you from where you are to a place of joy once again. Know that we are keeping you in our hearts and in our prayers for strength, for belief still in the goodness of God, and for peace beyond your understanding. Even though we are separated by distance, you have always had a special place in our hearts, and we have not forgotten you. Our hearts join with yours in the depths of your hurt and pain. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. Rest there and know His peace.

With God's love,
Jim and Diane

Just A Memory Away
We're no longer by your side,
But there's no need to weep;
We've left sweet recollections
We're hoping you will keep.

Eternal joy and memories
Stay in our hearts forever;
Strengthening our special bons,
That parting cannot sever.

Now it's time to journey on,
So let your faith be strong,
For we are in a better place...
We're home where we belong.

And if times of loneliness
Bring sorrow and dismay,
Don't despair, for we are there....
Just a memory away.

Bryan will always be in our memories, we will think of him as we look through the family pictures and remember the laughter that he brought to our lives.
David, Vickey, Kelly and Family, Your are in our thoughts and prayers now and always.

Love,
Kim and Steve Goebel

God's Promise

God didn't promise
Days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
or sun without rain.
But God did promise,
strength for the day,
comfort for the tears,
and a light for the way.
And for all who believe
in his kingdom above,
He answers their faith
with everlasting love.
