Bri was a great guy. I worked at two different radio stations with him. Actually made dinners for Jennifer? When she had his kids. So sorry for your loss.

It's been 4 years since your passing and reviewing your pictures and your friends grieving thoughts from 2014 and it's still hard not to shed a tear for you. You were one of a kind, and no one who knew you can ever forget you. See you someday on the other side Bri.

I just found this page and am saddened to hear that Brian passed. We met and worked as Landscapers together briefly in the late 1990's. Every day Brian arrived on the job with a smile and a joke. One day I was starting a chainsaw and he told me one of the funniest jokes I'd ever heard. I dropped it on my leg and still have the scar. Even though we went our separate ways not long after that, I always think of him and smile when I look at that scar. Always pleasant to be around, and the little singing he did for me,... was magic. RIP Brian. Fond memories of you always.

I meet Brian in 1989. I remember his sweet high notes that he was hitting as he practiced singing. My heart and prayers goes out to his family and friends.

I had been knowing Brian since the 4th grade. We played in the school in band coming up and hung together outside of school. He was a fun guy to be around. He will be greatly missed.

Brian worked with me at the Music Mall for a couple of years. His quick wit and smile always brightened the day. He was always happy to be in on a practical joke and his laugh was contagious. RIP Brian. You live on in my heart.

Brian was a great person inside and out. I spent a lot of time at his house way back in the day, he was a genuine good person with an infectious smile.
