Not sure what to say?

Skating and Surfing SoCal. Just hanging out with friends. You were one of the coolest guys this Kentucky kid ever knew. Even though we didn't stay in touch after the Corps, we made memories!

Thanks Brother!

My son decided to trade some things and get an acoustic guitar so he could jam with me like Brian And I would do. Of all the smaller acoustics he pitched out one with a G on the pickguard. He did this on Brian's Birthday. I have to say that Brian had a hand in this. He will always be a light in my life. I miss you brother!

He served with me in the comm/nav shop aboard USS Boxer in 97. I had been wondering where and how he was doing and I stumbled upon his rememberance page on FB. He was funny witty and nice and will be missed! God speed Marine!

My Deep condolences to all whose lives were touched by Brian. A sweet kind gentle (and heroic) spirit, who departed this earth much too soon...

Brian was one of my best friends and personal hero. My wife loved him. I miss Brian.
