Brian was such a kind and helpful guy! He helped me tour my apartment and was always there to help when I needed it! He brightened everyone’s day without even realizing it. God bless his family through this tough time.

He was the man of the great courage. He came to Poland when our country was just starting to develop after the fall of the communism. He shared the gospel with many Poles. He made his mark and many people are thankful till today. I am very sorry God took Brian. I pray for his family and friends. I am glad we will meet again.

We met Brian in Poland as a Christian missionary. We got to know him as a humble man, ready to serve, with a very positive attitude and a fantastic smile. Brian visited my home town in the mountains and met my parents who also got to like him for his beautiful smile and kind spirit. We want to express our condolences to all his relatives. We are thankful for getting to know him. Aleksandra and Mariusz Grabowski, Krakow, Poland

I was very saddened to hear about Brian passing. He was a kind and decent man even though he supported Liverpool football club. You'll never walk alone Bryan. Love, Carole

Brian was a missionary to Poland. As a Polish friend I will always remember him as a joyful, humble and helpful man. I personally received huge support from him while studying in USA. He was so kind and loving. Great loss to many of us and great gain of heaven where he received great reward for his quiet service. Condolences to the family. May God comforts your hearts.

Brian was a special man, with a heart bigger than most. He had a wonderful laugh and smile and it was so easy to be around him. We had many wonderful moments together. I always felt safe with him and respected him. He has a legacy of these wonderful boys. They are in our prayers as well as Brian's family! God Bless you all, Rodger and Eeva
