The Bugg family,
Brian and I went to school together all of our lives, and even though we grew apart after school, I always had great memories of him as a good friend. I cant believe that he is gone now, but know that he is in a better place and is still watching out for us like he did so many in school.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time words can't express the way my heart felt when I heard "Bugg" had passed. I worked with him at C&S Door he was one of the highlights that kept me sane there. He always knew how to make me laugh and sometimes just thinking of something he said would crack me up. He was an amazing person with so much to offer I loved working with him. I helped him out and gave him a ride a few times when he was having truck problems and he never forgot that even if he was giving me a hard time about "my driving like a maniac" he always said thanks and smiled. I saw him not long before I left Va and he was still the same big smiling bright Bugg I remembered from C&S. He will truely be missed by so many. Love, Thoughts and Prayers to Bugg, his family and all his coworkers at C&S.

Brian's Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Brian. He was a wonderful friend to me throughout school. I graduated with him in 1993. We really had our good times together on field trips and just hanging out in school. He always gave me a hard time, but that was just Brian being Brian. I loved him for that. I just want to let you know that we will be praying for you.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious. We love you very much and you will always be in our everyday thoughts. Karen, Donnie, Jacob and Kennedy

To the family and friends of Brian Bugg~

I am so very saddened to learn of Brian's passing. As I read the other entries I see that they all have the same running theme. Brian was a great friend to many. He was beautiful and caring. His many friendships were greatly impacted by his wonderful sense of humor and relentless loyalty. He will sadly be missed by so very, very many people. I enjoyed his sense of humor and have some great "Bugg" stories. It is my hope that even though his life here on earth with us was short, his family and friends will find some peace and comfort in the many wonderful memories they were able to create with such an incredible man.

Respectfully,

Barbara & Sonny Snead

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bugg,

I can not imagine the pain you're going through, loosing a sweet, wonderful boy like Brian. I am Mrs. Juanita Sutphin and my boys are Chris Snider and Donnie and Keith Tawney. They have been best friends with Brian since they were all kids together. We thought a lot of Brian. He was always respectful and sweet. The boys and him would pick on each other and I would laugh at them. They had fun together and we all knew that Brian was a great friend. He will be missed by us all very much. Please accept my condolances. We will all be praying for you and your family that God will give you the strength to get through. Mrs. Bugg, it may help you to write a journal to Brian like you are talking to him. I am doing that since I lost my husband last week and it is helping. Again, I am so sorry for your loss, but heaven just got a wonderful Angel!
