Wow! 2006!?!? I can´t believe that many years have passed it feels like only a few years ago. Still so heartbreaking to think about. I can only imagine how you would be today if you were so here with us. Such an amazing person with a heart of gold. I can still see your smile and that laugh... I´ll never forget.

Well, Bri Bri, here we are again. Mase went to his first UM game and had a blast and talked about you, his Uncle Bri alot! You still live in our hearts! Days are easier but will never be the same. I called Alli today after a sappy movie and told her I love her, and thank you for being my BF and sister. Well thanks for bringing us back, and you will always be my BFF! I love you man!! Thanks for always being there and I'm sure you are still watching out!

Dear Brian.
This morning Callie passed away and is now with you in heaven. I know you received her with open arms and will continued to take good care of her. She was loved so much and I was so blessed to be able to take care of her for the past 3+ years. Callie was such a good and precious dog and a constant reminder of you and your life together. She will be deeply missed!
I love you Brian and miss you both. Give Callie a kiss and a hug for me.
Love, Mom

Well it's football season and the Canes are looking pretty good. Your Dad and Aunt Carol went to the Oklahoma game and had a blast. This weekend the Canes are playing UCF so I'll be rootin' for both sides. Your Dad misses you desperately.Jason is coming down for the game. Sure wish you were here to join us. Every weekend we drive by the "Glen" and I think about you. I know how much you loved it there.
You're always in our hearts and on our minds. Love, Kim

Hey Brian- I just turned on an old cell phone that I had packed away and went through the contacts, and well there you were. It's times like this that make you stop in your tracks for a moment and really think about how much you are missed! I got to spend sometime with your family and friends at the cemetary last month and it was really nice to hear the beautiful words that your Mom and Dad spoke of you. Everyone misses you so much! With love- Shawnee

Hello there "B"
I just want to say hello to you and tell you I miss you so much still. Today has been a difficult day. I can still hear your voice. I think about you every time I watch a football game. I know, I can not believe we let FSU beat us either.
Miss you & Love you- Tessa

To my beloved son,
Your mother is always with you...She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She's crystallized in every tear drop...
She's the place you came from, your first home.. She's the map you follow with every step that you take. She's your first love and your first heart break..and nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, Not space...Not even death...will ever separate you from your mother...You carry her inside of you. Remembering you in all my cherished memories on Mother's Day.
Love Mom.

Our darling Brian....
Oh what a huge void you have left. Everyone is struggling to accept and understand God's plan. The pain is unbearable and unending. Help us to heal. Help us to understand. Help us to love one another and offer support to those whose need it most. Everytime we think of you we see your smile. When you look down on us, smile and know our love for you is never ending.

My childhood is filled with fond memories of Brian. From feeding and raising that squirrel ('peanuts' I think his name was), to building forts in his back yard. He did so many things that I will remember, like when he would want me to do something he would always say, "Come on, please, I'll be your best friend." My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Kori Barrs

To my dearest brother-in-law, I miss you....
I couldn't of asked for a more caring, affectionate, fun loving, beautiful brother. You immediately made me feel welcome into your family, not only as your sister but as a friend that you shared life's ups and downs with. Your spirit still lives with us everyday. I know I don't have to ask Brian, but look over my baby..
She will continue to need the strength from her precious guardian angel "Uncle Brian".

I just found out about Brian's untimly departure. I want to express my sincere condolences to his family. I knew Brian in Middle and High school, and he was a wonderfully funny guy. Always full of laughter and smiles. Although we didn't know eachother as adults, I'm sure he was just the same.
Brian, Thanks for the school time memories. God bless your soul in Heaven!

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family of Brian's. I have heard so many nice things about Brian from his Aunt Linda, whom I have been taking care of the past year. I know that he must have been a very fun-loving, giving and special person. I only wish that I could have met him. It is hard to lose a loved one, especially a child, for any reason. With the grace of God, you will be able get through this time of grief. And remember that you and Brian will be together again one day. May God Bless each and every one of you.

When I think of Brian I will always remember his big smile. When-ever I asked him to do a job he didnt want to do he would say "OH ANGIE, I QUIT" GIVE ME THAT BIG SMILE and say OK. To say his time on earth was too short is a understatement. I just hope and pray Brian knew how much he was loved. Brian will always be in my heart and my prayers.

Brian, Brian... What a great person!! My deepest sympathy to his very forever loving family. Maryann & Wayne what a wonderful job you did raising Brian, he had such love to offer. I can honestly say he was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my lifetime. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it. I am so fortunate that I got to experience him in my life. I am sure that anyone that knows Brian feels the exact same way!! Brian will be missed more than words can ever begin to express.The pain is unbearable at times.Thank you for all you did for me. I am sure that he is having a party in heaven. They better be ready for some football up there next season!! I will never forget the special times that we shared!!
