BRIAN LEE REHKOPF Jr.

I think of BJ often, of his kindness and his warmhearted and fun personality. You don´t come across people like BJ too often and I´m so glad I was able to call him my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He truly was a very dear person and a first class gentleman. Sincerely, Lisa Gunter

It is heartwarming to see BJ's handsome face again. I remember fondly our time as neighbors on Ensley. Peace be with you all.

As we celebrate our heroes and those who have gone before us Its not only a Celebration but a Memorial.
BJ will never be forgotten as he will forever be a memory for so many lives he touched. I pray for all of you each week. In Christ, c

Dear Sandy,
My heart breaks for you and your family with your loss of BJ. I met him several times when I would go to your home for BSF training. My prayers are with you all and for our Father's arms to gently hold you and care for you during this time.
Much love,
Joanie Janzen

Thank you BJ for being such a good friend. I will always remember the kindness you showed to everyone you knew and the magnetic personality that you had. A truly special person that will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

I remember BJ from when we were kids in the youth group at First Southern in Bakersfield. I have since reunited with his sister Suzie since our daughters became friends but I haven't seen Bj since we were kids. My sympathies are with Suzie and her family and Sandy and Brian. They are such a sweet, close-knit family and I can't imagine how hard this must be for them. You are all in my prayers. I am so glad that BJ grew up in church and knew the Lord. We can all rejoice knowing he is with our...

So hard to find the words..but I will try. It seems that no relationship occurs out of happenstance. The Lord is sovereign over those people we meet. I know that He arranges such relationships to come to pass for His purposes.

The season that BJ and I 'ran' together is written indelibly in my memories. Flattop haircuts, surf magazines, country music and youth group spiritual journaling, highlight the nature of our interests at that time. We were 14 and 15 year olds, growing up in the...

Brian and Sandy,
We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your son. Please know our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

Brian & Sandy,
Am so very sorry for your loss. BJ was a very dear friend and close brother in the Lord. BJ and I communicated just about everyday and most days several times. The days when we were out and about he was always finding the best in someone. Such a kind, gentle and sincere heart he had, and it was a true gift from our Lord. I will miss him so very much. However, I know that we will have eternity together to worship our Lord.
