Dear Yohe Family,
I am SO sorry to hear of your loss. Brian was a special person. I've never been in his presence that he didn't have a smile on his face. His countenance was always happy, smiley, kind, loving and jovial. I had lost touch with Brian over the years, but the few times I had run into him, it was as if we were still neighborhood friends, just picking up where we had left off. A precious one has been laid to rest! Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
-Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
May God be with you and grant you peace!

Brian, I know you are at peace and smiling down on all your family and friends. I so enjoyed all the fun times at the Hill Tavern. Your amazing, fun personality kept us all happy. Love to your family and hope for good memories to help with the grief. I am sorry I missed the service. Love from Helen and Keith Becker, also. I know they are saddened, also.

Brian, what can I say?
Even though we didn't always stay especially close in touch, we will always be joined at the hip.
I think we're somehow from the same stock, so to speak.
Truth, justice, friendship, family, and tolerance of all people.
And of course, speaking our minds and getting into trouble for it. Lol.
I will forever be honored to have been with you in the yearbook.
They even created a new catagory just for us. You can't beat that.
Sorry I missed your service. I've been caring for my Mom and missed the announcement, but you're forever in my heart as I know I was in yours.
Until we meet again in Heaven I pray, may your family and all who knew what a blast you were, be especially blessed.
To the original excellent "Most Unusual" persons, from your honored sidekick; Cassandra Renee' Cushing Sigel. SGHS Class of 1985. Forever ??????????

Sending hugs and condolences to Brian's family. Tanya I so sorry.Last time I saw Brian I asked about you and he said "Oh I love her" and just smiled the biggest Brian smile. He loved his family so much. I hope you all find some comfort in all the beautiful memories. I am so sad but can't help but smile when I think of all the times he made me laugh. He was a rare gem indeed.

Brian - I remember when we first talked about your illness and fund raising was brought up, you didn't "want to bother anyone", that is how you approached life - always wanting to make someone else feel better. I can't remember a time when you didn't make me laugh and smile, we shared many good times. I am happy that you are no longer suffering, heaven has certainly gained a superior angel! I'm sure you will be placed on the welcoming committee with a smile from ear to ear to greet those that will come to follow. To your family, I know you are aware but feel the need to say what a wonderful, loving, compassionate man you have in the family. Though our time here is done for now, bless you and your family and lots of love until we meet again. Love Kim and Rich
