Judy & Steve ~ I had always hoped to be in contact with you again, but certainly not this way. I am SO sorry for your loss. Ann emailed me tonight, and I called her immediately. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies. And may God hold you in his tender care until you find peace. Love, Deb (Yorko) Gibson, Beth Ann and John Moore

I knew Brian for the past 5 years. He truly was the best person I have ever met! Brian was a very special person. He loved his family so much, and was so proud of his mom and dad. I remember when Christin was graduating from high school - he was such a proud big brother!! He was truly an angel, and I thank god for getting the chance to know someone as special as he was. RIP Bri!!

Stephen and Judy, I was able to work with Brian when he was in England. He was a joy to be around. He would always make you laugh even when you felt like you couldn't. He was a blessing to everyone that knew him..

To the family of Brian...I was his Flight Chief for a year when he was stationed at RAF Lakenheath. I am sorrowed to hear that you have lost a fine young man. It was great to know him and work with him. No matter how bad the day was, he would always walk up and ask for a "High-5". It seems silly to some, but it was him; always lightening up the scenerio! To use the phrase "I am sorry" doesn't even begin to touch the surface. I asked my girls to say a prayer for you all last night after I found out. May he rest in peace with the Lord!

I had the honor of working with Brian durring his time in England and Afghanistan. He definitely brought joy and laughter to all of us in the 492nd. He always took the time to pass on his abundent knowledge of the F-15 to anyone willing to learn. Brian was a great Airman and an even better friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to Brian and his family... God Bless

I pray that you will all feel the strength and the power of God's presence as you go through this very difficult period of your lives. There are no words that can take away the sadness and loss you must be feeling. But somehow, some way, God will give you the strength needed at this time.
With my prayers,
