Brian,
You were the best bud ever! I know we lost contact for a little while but we always could just start talking again like it didn't matter where we left off. You were one of the greatest friends I had. I hope you'll watch over and remember everbody that loved you. You meant so much to so many people!
Love always,

Brian, I am so sorry. I only got to know you for a little while, but you always made me smile, and I hope I brought that to you too. I'll always miss you and I hope you know you'll you'll never be forgotten. We met through a love of piracy, and one day maybe we'll pillage heaven a new hole together :).
Until then, Nicole <3.

Brian,
You're my best friend, like a brother to me. We known each other for years. We had alot of good times together, like the first time you tought me how to play 9ball and took us forever to finish lol and the one time at my Holloween party when Joe called you because you didnt have his new number and you both were sitting right across from each other and you had no idea that it was him lol man that was funny. Had alot of good times. But what i'm going to miss most about you is your beautiful beautiful smile, your laugh, your goofyness, how the way you could always make me smile and cheer me up, and most of all your bear hugs that almost kill me. I love you Brian you ment everything to me. You were something special a wonderful person even though your not here physcially but I know your here spiritually with me and to evryone else you will always be in my heart you always had your special place there and you will never be forgotten I will always think of you and when i'm down I will think of you and thinking of you will put a smile on my face and I know everything will be alright. You always had my back and I always had yours even though your gone in this world I know the world you're in you will always still have my back. I Love You Brian always & forever

I am unable to find the words to describe the shock and sadness that I feel. Shock because Brian was so full of life and sadness because I lost a friend. Brian's sense of humor and loyalty to those that he cared for are going to be missed. Though I only got to know Brian for the short few months that we worked together it was like I knew him for a lifetime. Work, nor my life is never going to be the same after having come across Brian.

Brian,when I first moved to Hudson 11 years ago you accepted me into the neighborhood instantly and became my best friend.Im in shock and devastated and cant believe that your actually gone.I know youll be watching over us just as you have the whole time we have known you.I have millions of great memories of growing up with you that ill never forget.From playing football,skating,and all the hilarious moments we had at county line.Im sorry we havent kept in touch in the past year or so and ill never forgive myself for that.Im sure everyone that knew you is just as devastated as me, especially your friends that have known you the longest like Mike,Rich,Edna,and Nick,and I hope they are doing ok.I love you.I miss you.Ill never forget you.

Brian, you were my best friend. I love you like family, and know that I'll never forget you. I miss you, and I wish you were still here. I don't trust a lot of people, but you were one of the few that I felt I could trust with my life. You were someone that I could tell anything to, and never once have the fear of being judged. Every time we hung out, I was always in a good mood. You just had that kind of personality. I logged onto Yahoo to check my email a few days after I heard the news, and I got a pop-up notice saying that you added me to your contacts and I burst into tears. It feels like you're still here. Everything I do, I keep hearing your voice making comments about every day things in the back of my head. Although I try not to remember you for how you went, but for how great of a friend you were to me. Rich and I are getting memorial tattoos for you. Mine will be a pirate hat with a white rose next to it, with your name and years. I hope you would like it. You were family to me, and I hope you know that you are missed and loved, not only by me but by so many others as well. I feel beyond horrible that I can't make it to your funeral tomorrow, because I am still in Holland. But, I've asked my parents to go(after all, they knew you too)and to put some roses down for me. I will visit when I get back home. R.I.P. we love/miss you

Dear Drucker Family,
Brian was my friend and we had a lot fun hanging out and playing football. I hope this poem will comfort you...
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Brian, you touched so many people's lives you probably could never imagine it. I'm sad we never got to spend a lot of time together, but all the boring days at WaMu when we got to hang out were well worth it. You were my source of entertainment! I am still in shock, I still can't believe it, I still don't know how to react. You always put a smile on my face including everyone around you. You always listened and did everything for everyone. I hope now you're doing something for you, where ever your are. I miss you and so many others do too.

Brian, where do I even start to thank you. You've touched so many different hearts in so many ways. I know you have taught me many different things about life, like being selfless... giving to others when you feel they need something more than yourself. Always taking the positive out of every negative situation... also putting every ounce of dedication into your friendships no matter what... giving people surprises because it would make them smile... You have no idea how much you are truely loved here and how much you are going to be sincerely missed... We will see eachother again one day and i hope when we do you are still wearing that goofy black hat and amazing grin that could light up any room. Brian Drucker you will always be remembered and loved forever.
love always and forever Mindy

Brian, I am going to miss our talks and your sense of humor. You could always make me laugh and I could always tell when you were on the phone with Kristen because of her laugh. Thank you for being such a good friend. I will always remember our last phone conversation because you called me "mama bear" and you were so happy!

Brian, you are missed more than you could ever imagine. You by far were one of the nicest people that I knew. You were always there helping your friends and you were selfless. You definitely left a mark on the world and in the hearts of those that loved you. I will never forget you.

Brian, you were taken out of my life just as fast as you entered it. I was looking forward to seeing where our relationship would go. Words cannot express the pain I'm feeling, along with everyone else. We are only left with the memories you made with us. I remember the last text message I got from you and still have it saved on my phone. "Let's cuddle babe :-)" it brings tears to my eyes to read it. I just hope your watching me, keeping me safe. I keep asking why, but there is no answer to my question. Your spirit is near, I can feel it. I love you more than you'll ever realize. I miss you pinching my cheeks, saying I make a cute chipmunk. You made an everlasting impression on everyone you met, including me. I love you baby cakes. You know it. Watch us all.
*Take care of my heart, you have it with you.

Brian, I never had the opportunity to meet you, but through Ashely & Heidi I felt as if I did know you. They both loved you so much and always spoke so highly of you, the way you always took care of your brother and the way you were always supportive of your friends. May God Bless all that knew you with HIS LOVE & STRENGTH during this difficult time. I know your memory will live on forever in so many hearts that loved you.

Brian, you had such a big heart. Whenever anyone had a problem they could always come to you and you'd instantly put a smile on their face because you could bring anyone from 0-60 in less than a minute. I don't know how i'm going to deal with this.. but i'm sure you'll still help me out along the way. I loved you so much and you know that. I feel you all around me, watching over me and keeping me sane. I miss you BriBri.

Brian, I'll never forget your huge smile or bear hugs. Your generous offer of helping Nick with his chores "because you didn't have any" and actually coming over and doing so. The trips to the Spring Hill skate park on Saturdays. Even at a young age, you impressed us with the responsibility you gladly took on. It was fun to see your excitement on your car, and comparing both our new cars next to each other. It was so kind of you to swing by late evening to offer assistance when Nick ran into trouble. Taking me aside privately, I have never forgotten your advice to me. Thanks for being such an awesome friend, your memory shall live on for many years!
