A bright smile that could light up a room. That is how I will remember Victor. As a child he would come visit and was always warm and friendly. My condolences go to your family.

We didn't know Victor. We just happened to be there the day of his accident. We've kept him in our prayers...and will continue to do so. We so wish we could have done something, but God had different plans.

I will never forget Vic and Peter and their summer's at the beach where they would make comments about the girls, laugh and take photos of the ocean. I would always tell Vic where the sunscreen was and finally after a few summers of nagging he came to know the cabinet it was located in. They would then come back to our house for a Bud Light Lime, some food and decide where they were going for the evening.
We will miss his smile, sense of humor and support that he gave this family. He was a true friend to everyone.
Vic will remain in our hearts and thoughts until we meet again.
Our deepest condolence's to his family and friends.

May the love and light the Vic spread help us all to be better people and live in an example that would make him proud.
When I think of my buddy Vic, I am warmed by the thoughts of his constant smile, warm heart and friendly approach to life. I'll never stop missing you, I'll never stop loving you and I'll never be able to go 'home' with out wishing I could see you just one more time.

Dear Susan, though we've only met through the BRHS FB page, it seems like I have gotten to know you. I've followed the story of your son Vic's tragic accident and I am so impressed by the grace with which you have stood in the face of all that has happened. I believe all the prayers from friends and loved ones have sustained you during this fiery trial. You certainly raised a wonderful family and the bond between Vic and Alix will never be broken. You and Alix will continue to be in my prayers. I pray for the Lord to receive Victor into His loving presence, where you will all be reunited some day. Vic's spirit will always be with you. God bless.

I knew Vic since he was a young boy as he was and will always be one my brother's best friends. He was a kind and joyful spirit that we will never, ever forget. Red hair, beautiful smile and wicked sense of humor. My last memory of him is laughing hysterically at our annual July barbecue over the dessert table. Rest in peace Vic and my sincere thoughts and prayers to the family.

Our condolences to the family. Got to know Victor personally and he was a very respectful young man. All I can say is just good things about him. Always had a smile I remember when he first started to work at the water company. Introduce himself like he knew me for years. I will always remember his smile and laughter.
