Brian Dunlap

It´s been 19 years and I still think of you and the last phone call we had in November 2004 right after Thanksgiving from Iraq. Little did I know that would be the last time I heard your voice. Sadly, At Saint Johns Catholic Church, it was my birthday when they carried your casket in. Walls lined with Marines and Firefighters to pay tribute to you my friend. I stood in awe in tears. The 18 year old I knew gave his life at 34 without having a wife or kids. You put our country first ALWAYS....

Sending out messages as to the amazing individual you were. The butterflies in the garden this year have been in "full force". I know you are one of them as you fly by me. Every year it does get easier but I do so miss you standing in the kitchen with your "Big Gulp of Coffee" and us "discussing politics". So miss that. I never met someone SO dedicated of wanting to go a make a difference being in a combat zone in my life. Still hard for me to grasp but I know that's what was important to...

Outstanding Fireman! Outstanding Friend and one of the most funniest people I ever met. I miss you everyday.

I miss him living with us before he went to.Iraq. I made a butterfly garden in the backyard and the monarchs visit me all the time. Chuck and I miss you.

Brian, “Little Brian”, Brother,
It’s been so long, yet it hasn’t. Thinking of you on this day of remembrance. I’m honored to have known you as we were young and growing up. I can’t begin to fathom the honor those who served with you must feel. How big is that. Wow. I know you kept them in good hands.
I was just reminiscing with Bob Shaw about hanging out and wrenching on old cars with you. He misses you too.
You left a lot of kindness and love in a lot of hearts Brian.

Missing you today. Your smile filled up any room and your blue eyes will never be forgotten.

Remembering days of us in high school. Who would have ever thought you would have become such a hero. Rest in peace and thank you for your service.

I'm sending my condolences to the family of Brian E,. Dunlap, sorry for your loss. Micah 4:3,4

You are on my mind today. We miss you so much.
