A true friend indeed... I will never forget the time we first met on that cold, windy Chicago day, It seems like forever ago...we were so young and the world was different but one thing that always stayed the same was your contagious laughter ....the great memories we had over the years that followed will be held in the most precious place in my heart.. I miss you so much already and I hope that our paths will cross again in this infinite universe....XoXo

To the family of Bryan,
Please know I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I met Bryan through a meditation study at Northwestern, and at a few other cancer-related events. He was so charismatic and carried with him positivity, warmth, humor, and most of all, hope. His light shined so brightly during dark times. I will forever hold him in my memory and heart, and honor him through a commitment to remain hopeful and positive in my own battle.

To the Korobkin family,
I met Bryan at Northwestern as I am also a cancer fighter. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting him I learned quickly that he was a special guy. Open, honest, witty, charming. I will have him in my heart always and will pray for your family during this difficult time.

Bryan was one of the first friends I met on an online support group for young adult cancer survivors. We instantly connected and remained close friends throughout our cancer journeys. We have been through chemotherapy, radiation and a stem cell transplant together. We carried each other through some of our darkest times. Words are inadequate and heartbreak immeasurable. I love you for shining your light so brightly. Fly high my beloved friend. You are loved and missed by so many of us.
