Brian is not forgotten, even after years have passed.

I worked with Brian for a couple years great guy and a hell of a guitar player! I'm glad I had the chance meet and jam with him. One great memory I have of Brian is one I will not forget. I was eyeing this guitar that really wanted to shred on, I had told Brian I did not have enough to purchase it. My brother Brian offered me a loan to buy it so I took his offer. Thank you Brian for looking out for me as a fellow guitar player
RIP brother.

I was shocked to read of Brian's death. I didn't realize he had been sick.

I met Brian many years ago when I worked at P.L. Cahoots. I met him, as well as many other musicians, who became friends through the years, especially during my 20 years at Griff's Landing. I always worked where the bands played.

My sympathies go out to his family, his many friends and countless fans of music he played.

Brian was a great guy and extremely talented guitarist. I loved the post from the 'Jr. High sweetheart', how accurate:) For me as a musician though ... evertime I listen to 'My Old School' I will always think of Brian. My deepest sympathy to his family.

We were jr high sweethearts, 8-9th grade; you were at W.Frederick & I was at TJ. Monie Castle got us together at the People's Drug Store restaurant in the Fall of 8th grade. We had a lot of good times together going to the "Y" & TJ dances, movies and carnivals. A few times I was lucky enough to actually have you dance with me and not be playing in the band BUT I really enjoyed watching you play that guitar and sing (you & Brett together). After a year, we went our separate ways. It wasn't until many, many years later that we ran into one another & it was like I saw my long lost friend! You and your talent will not be forgotten & will be sorely missed by all. Every time I hear "I'm a Soul Man" on the radio I think of you and those Y dances. RIP my friend...

Brian, I will miss our Facebook conversations, your movie recommendations and seeing you on stage Friday and Saturday nights. You were born to play my brother. I will miss your guitar solos terribly but you will always be in my memories "playing that funky music"! RIP my friend.
