Not sure what to say?

Brian showed me how important it was always to do what is right, to be fair, and always be good.I never knew a better example of such by which I compared everyone else. He will never be forgotten.

I'll miss you Brian. Thanks for the childhood memories and joining my life again as an adult. Fly free.

My deepest condolences to Brian's family and friends. He will be truly missed. I will always miss his smiling face.

My deepest condolences to Mama Connie, Dad Bill, son Kyle, and daughter Mattie, and all the family and friends. For Brian: Your time with us was too short. Your life mattered. YOU were important and YOU made a difference in this world. We are better off having had you for this brief time. I thank Connie and Bill for allowing me to tend your beautiful yard, while you were in the hospital. Brian, I got to know you a little better thru your flowers in that yard. I look forward to...

We didn't know Brian, but we both knew his Dad, Bill, when we worked with him at LBPD. If Brian was anything like his Dad, we know he was an outstanding police officer and a fine young man. No doubt Brian was loved by many and will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and Connie, and your beautiful children. Rest in Peace, Brian.

Brian was my brother in law he was great man and a great father to my neice Mady and my nephew Kyle you will be missed Brian RIP

Met Brian while working next at Brian and Cathy's . Super guy. Life has a funny way of grabbing you and telling you to live every day, every moment!!! This is one of those times.

Our deepest condolences to Bill and Connie and the entire family. Brian was a first class guy, father, son and friend to many. May he rest in peace and solitude.

Our family did not get the honor to meet Brian,but we have been very privileged to know Brian's mother Connie.
She is a very special & wonderful lady who I admire and look up to.
From myself and my family we send our love and deepest sympathy,
Venditto, Lewis & Crist family.
