It´s been 9 years my friend that you have been gone. You are missed terribly. I was so fortunate to have you for my friend, we met each other the first day of first grade and we stayed friends up until you were 63. You should still be here, but unfortunately you´re not. I think of you every day. Diane and I still have a hard time believing you´re gone, love you Bri

Hi Bri, I just wanted to talk to you and I decided to come here and leave my message for you. So many things going on with me, and I just wanted to talk with you because I use to call you anytime of day or night as long as you weren´t working or working on a project. I miss you so much my friend, time is gone by so quickly without you in my life. I hope you´re safe and with your family. I have your photo up in my home in a few places and I always smile and remember you. I often wonder if people take the time to remember someone they love who have been gone for a long time.. If you see my Kathy please hug and kiss her for me and tell her I miss her, I love and miss you both so much... I Love you my friend & miss you, Renate

Brain came to Del Web to put on one of his amazing show. He always was a favorite here. This show he was doing old songs which everyone of us were enjoying so much. He then said I want you all to meet my cousin Suzanne...get up here Sues and dance with me...and that I did.
Now every time I walk through the garden where we were I can still picture that amazing night, and continue to think of him. I'll never forget him in my heart always.

Miss you, Bri. It's been one year ago today that you left us for a better and healthier place. Tammy is with you now and I'm sure you are taking good care of her once again. She is also out of pain now.
I miss you so much. You left a big void in my life. Tonight I am going to our favorite Lou Malnatti's and, hopefully, will see Bill. We always talk about you whenever I see him. I don't go there very often anymore, though. It just isn't much fun without you.
Love you,
Mare

Brian. every time I think of you I remember the wonderful times you performed at the Ray Graham Fashion Shows. You made all the children so happy dancing and singing with them on stage. You will always be remembered by all as the warm and loving person you were. God bless you and keep singing and dancing.

Brian Fowler when you were born God gave you so many wonderful talents so you could share them with us. Your voice was Heaven Sent. No one could sing "If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot like you. Thank you for singing it for me when I requested it. You and Lisa are in Heaven putting together the Show of Shows. It was an honor to know you and to be a fellow entertainer with you. You will be missed but I know that you are in Heaven with all the great musicians and entertainers. God bless you and I will be praying for you and for all of our wonderful furry friends.

To all who loved Brian, we wish you strength of heart and wonderful memories. He was the kindest soul who really "got" what animals go through and, given how many indifferent people and enemies they have, how much they need good friends like him. Everyone at PETA sends condolences and thanks you for being as good to him as he was to all our constituents in the animal kingdom. He will be very much missed by all of us working at PETA.

We wish all family and friends strong hearts and wonderful memories of this super-kind human being. Brian understood the suffering of animals and objected to it. He opened other people's eyes and hearts and his loss is a big loss indeed.
Everyone at PETA sends their condolences and our regrets at his loss.

Bri,I was very sad to hear that your cancer had returned, but the only pain now is in the hearts of those you leave behind. We haven't seen each other in a while, but you will be missed very much. Love, Nancy 'Rose'

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so much to me and always will, too. The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain, but you're forever in my heart until we meet again.

My wife and I always enjoyed going to Tuxedo Junction where Brian was a great host and MC. Whenever we feel we could use a boost in morale, we dig out the LP, play it, and once again enjoy the spirited performances. He made many people happy and will be missed.

Brain always had a sparkle in his kind eyes and positive spirit that never missed a beat even on a cloudy day. The residents at Cordia LOVED his beautiful voice and incredible dances. His energy and passion for making others happy was embedded in his soul. He will be deeply missed.

So sorry to hear of Brian's passing! Worked with Brian for many years hiring him as entertainment for weekday luncheon shows I produced. I always told him that I never worried about the quality of his shows...even if it was a new idea I threw at him...he always came through with standing ovation performances! He will surely be missed. Join the chorus of angels in heaven Brian...you will do them proud!

Dear Bri, we never believed this would happen, we all thought you were going to beat cancer because you fought so hard, to see you in so much pain and agony was horrible but we all knew you were fighting hard. I know in your mind you were fighting extra hard because of your concern for Tammy and Tiger, you don't have to worry anymore because they will always be with us, we are all going to miss you terribly, but the day will come when we are together again! We all love you so much,
Dave, Kathy, Amanda and David
