In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. I have so many wonderful and sometimes funny memories of Bryan. I have known him since he was a toddler. I wish that I had one more time to talk to this kind, gentle and loving soul and tell him" I love you Bryan. You will be missed my friend.

Family, Friends, Co-Workers to Bryan,

If we could all just have one more day, one more hour, one last minute with you Bryan, we all would have our own sharing of our times together.
For us, it would be to take a drive to Fish Lake, get on that pontoon, and fish away and relax in the sun and watch the loons, and the Eagles!
This is where Bryan liked hanging out with us.
Some good steaks on the grill, with mushrroms of course, and a bonfire at night, looking at the amazing stars.
We are so blessed to have a great dinner at the OLD GUTCH's on HWY 12 last spring........we laughed at OURSELVES and some of the dumb, funny and GOOD TIMES we shared. We knew you were not feeling well for a very long time......and that saddens us.
Bryan, you are TRULY FREE........watch over everyone that is so dear to you........we know you will.

We LOVE YOU!
