Such a beautiful ceremony to remember Brian ! We pass along our sincere condolences to all of his family and friends. Brian's family were neighbors and he was a high school student of Pat's. We also enjoyed seeing Brian perform in musicals, chorus and the Portland Opera. Thank you for the opportunity to meet Daniel, and Brian's family again and view all of Brian's incredible fashion creations. May his memories be a blessing to us all.

Brian and Family welcomed me wholeheartedly when I was new to community and faith. I will never forget the easy fellowship he offered me and how he made me feel valued and a part of the community. my condolences to his family. I love you all.

I haven't know Brian for as long as I wished I could have, I have only known him for a little over 3 years. Daniel introduced us and the moment I met Brian, I knew he was an amazing person with a beautiful heart and soul. I have been blessed to have this amazing man part of my life and he will forever be in my heart and missed tremendously. Love you Brian.

As Brian's coworker, I always enjoyed speaking with him, whether it was resolving an issue at work or sharing his excitement over the beautiful Chanel inspired suit he was making for his niece (which was absolutely beautiful). His quick wit always made me smile and his presence will be greatly missed. Thinking of you, wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, and comfort in the midst of pain. Wishing you peace, Pina Cline

So sorry to hear of Brian's passing. I knew him at Whitford and then Beaverton before we moved to Hillsboro. I remember being happy when I heard he had decided to go to Reed (as did I) and distinctly remember him riding his unicycle there. We didn't spend much time together, although we had more in common than I realized. I've loved the classes I've taken at PFI and so glad he found it too.

Brian and I attended high school together, and I was also a member of the Valley Community Presbyterian Church during those years. My heart goes out to Brian's partner, family, and friends.

I was so sorry to hear about Brian.

I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. I remember him well from singing with him in the Portland Opera Chorus. A good friend, a good singer, a good person. And I remember the beautiful afghans & quilts he would work on during opera rehearsals and backstage. What a gift! His presence will be missed by many. I send prayers to Brian's family, and especially to Daniel.

First memory: Brian was Dave's and my photographer for our wedding reception in 1982. Other memories: He graced the Valley Presbyterian Church choir for many years, some of which Dave and I were members, as well. Wearing Olde English garb we were part of an ensemble of strolling minstrels for a church event.
