Brian P. Collyard

Oh Bryan, I wish I would have gotten more time to know you. And as for many I wish you were still here. I will miss you, forever. For the short time that I did know you, you were amazing and wonderful. Thank you for being my friend. You will always be in my thoughts. Love you...

It's been a long time since some of the huge parties like the 4th of July bonfires, or outdoor music events. But whenever Brian and I saw each other it was a nice catch-up session that always lasted at least a few beers. I regret my being away when everyone gathered to support his closest friends and family. But to Scott and everyone else who loved him dearly, please know I look back fondly on the simple things like riding the bus to school and talking about music with him. He has a huge...

Where words cannot express how all those closest to Brian may feel, my sympathy goes out to you all with these borrowed words. "The highest function of love is that it makes the loved one a unique and irreplaceable being" ... There is not doubt that Brian is loved by many and will never be forgotten, even by those who lost touch through the years. RIP.

I'm lucky to have known Bryan. It has been a long time...too bad we never caught-up again after high school. See you on the other side, Bry. I'm remembering all the fun times, and hope the family and friends can do the same. Been reading all the entries. And, yes Bryan gave great hugs!
With condolences,

Love you very much Bryan.

Dear Cyn,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. My heart aches as I think of the hole in your heart from Brian's loss.No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My most sincere sympathies are with you as you grieve. As you go forward one day at a time please warm yourself of memories of what a wonderful young man Brian became and you are a big reason why he was such a special person...so special that heaven needed him, his music,& bear hugs. Cyn, you & your family are in...

I sat here and read through the Guestbook entries. I guess you hadn't changed much from when I knew you. Back when I was 18 and you were 19. Its good to know that some good things, some good people, never change.

I have alot of fond memories from those good 'ole days. Parties, parties, and more parties! Yeah, there were alot of parties.. Bryan never ran out of excuses to celebrate.. Everyday was a celebration of life, people, music, ideas..

I miss those days.. Jammin by the...

I'll repeat the lyrics Justin put down-"Some days are sad days and some days just fade away, some days we wont see to look away, some days are sad days and some days just fade away, some days we wont walk by to walk away. Sometimes isn't forever and life's just an open wound..SOMEDAY WE'LL SEE JUST HOW THE SUN, CAN HIDE BEHIND THE MOON." Old #7
You were the Sun for all of us.
