Brian Worth Keevers

Gail,
I just learned of Brian's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. What a strange coincidence that we both find ourselves in the same situation in less than two months. Shane and Brian are probably together now having a few laughs. Take care of yourself and God be with you.
Sincerely,
Linda

Brian Keevers Eulogy 5/23/02

Four years ago many of us first came to know Brian
as he joined us here in Atlanta

Intelligent, unflappable, even handed and fair were qualities
that combined with a wonderful sense of humor

All were qualities that produced a great manager, colleague...

Brian, Where do I start? I will miss you so much. Who will I give a hard time and who is going to be there to throw it back at me? Thank you for accepting my fiestyness and showing me how to be blunt but tactful all at the same time. I don't usually have emotion to death, but right now I am all chocked up and full of saddness. I will miss all of the stories about life and how we must live it to its fullest. All of your jokes and crazy comments. The stories about all of your trips. You were so...

Brian will much missed. We often spoke about my country Panama and he told me about his upcoming cruise...we spoke about the Canal, I truly hope he did enjoy the Panama Canal and am very touched about his thoughtfulness in buying me a beautiful T-shirt from his trip there. He was always so thoughtful!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Keevers family . I will miss passing Brian in the hallway and the way that he used to joke to me about how I only work half days . I will miss discussing his trips he took on the weekend to Hilton Head . Brian was a very caring and thoughtful person and he will be missed greatly .

I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY CONDOLENCES TO MRS.KEEVERS AND FAMILY.BRIAN WILL SURELY BE MISSED.HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE.I AM SO GLAD I HAD A CHANCE TO MEET(WORK FOR ) HIM ALONG THE WAY.MY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL.I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS.

TO THE KEEVERS FAMILY: CONTINUE TO HOLD TO GOD'S UNCHANGING HANDS. THROUGH ALL OF YOUR PAIN AND SORROWS; KNOW THAT GOD WILL NEVER PUT NO MORE ON YOU THAN YOU CAN BEAR. WHEN YOU FEEL THAT THERE IS NOONE TO TURN TO; REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN THE "CRADLE OF GOD'S LOVE." MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU IS MY PRAYER.

With deepest sympathy to the family. Brain was a wonderful man
and a joy to be around. We will miss you. Your family will be in
my prayers.

To the Keever's family. May you draw on God's grace, mercy and strength during your time of bereavement.
