Brian and I met in high school his brother and my brother were in sigma phi omega. We also were fraternity brothers. We lost touch through the years but would run into each other occasionally. I always felt a connection of a close friend. We laughed alot together. Brian was a great guy and with all the messages that I have read it seems he turned out to be a great man. I will miss my friend but remember the great times we had. My thoughts and prayers for his family and friends. This really sends home that we cannot take for granted the time we have here. God bless him.

Brian was a precious young man. I met him first in 1991 when he was planning on going on a mission trip with our church to Brazil. He was not able to go. He called me Ms. Betty and always gave me a big hug when I saw him. He talked a lot about his relationship with God. He said he wished he had been a medical missionary. Brian will be missed very much. Jim, Jackie, and their family are in my prayers. We love you Jim and Jackie.
