BRIAN OLIVIERI

Rest In Peace my friend. We had some good times together. Bob Awkerman (Links)

Brain was a great guy. Lost him to soon

Far too late - just saw this after wondering where my friend of old was. We went to concerts all the time when we were younger - drove all over and listened to music for hours. We had fun, and then lost touch. Last time i saw him was 15 years ago, but I will always remember the incredible experiences we had. I have missed you and will miss you. All love, Joy

My heart is broken. The finest, most candid, charming and kind man I have ever known. The world is a lesser place without you. I took comfort knowing we were still here under the same sky together. My sincere condolences to his family and many dear friends.

RIP dear cousin Brian. I remember all the great times we had with you and your family. Plenty of good Italian food, good cheer and lots of laughter. I wish you could have been around for many more years to pursue your dreams and aspirations.

This is a very sad loss for Brian's family. I am very sorry this pain. I am glad I was able to meet and get to know Brian a little as an adult. Reading the memories posted it is clear
he was an amazing individual that play a very positive and important roles in many lives. I am very impressed by the words in these memories, a sad loss for many. Rest in peace, I know you are in the company of many that love you...

Oh my dear friend ! I think about you all the time and miss you so much. I can not tell you, Brian - and I know you are hanging around somewhere near by with that awesome smile on your face - how lucky I feel to have worked with you at RCA. You were fierce and funny and SO talented! I loved teaching with you and laughing with you and learning new things from you and reviewing old things again and again . But maybe the best thing was watching you GIVE and GIVE to those kids you loved and cared...

I cannot express how much this wonderful, passionate man has touched me. He was the first person to light a spark in me and instill hope that I can pursue my love for the arts.
When I had first started out at the Regional Center for the Arts, I had not realized how hard it would be to put myself out there, do the work that acting requires, and take risks. I wanted to give up; and I am so grateful that I had taken his acting class right at that time. He is the one that made me stay.

I was one of Mr. Olivieris students when I was studying acting at the Regional Center for The Arts. He always had more faith in me than I had in myself. He encouraged me to go to deep and personal places with the craft which lead to a lot of self-discovery and he was always there to help when those things brought me to a dark place. He wrote one of my college recommendations with words kinder than I could possibly ever muster to regard myself. I owe him a great debt and I truly regret not...
