What a wonderful person Brian was. Our family was fortunate to spend several years with Schiavetti family while they were in Virginia. He was my son's best friend then, and my 'other twin son.' We found the whole family very humble, down to earth people who were our great neighbors. He was a free spirit, always funny and a very caring individual. We'll miss him a lot. Our heart felt condolence to a grieving family. Brian will live in our heart for ever.

Our deepest sorrow to all family & friends. Words typed can not express the sadness in our hearts. In the times of tears, and heartaches ahead, try to let your memories of all the happiness, of all the goodness you shared be your strength to guide you forward. Our prayers are with you.
