Brian Thomas Upton

Brian and I met at work many years ago and although we had lost touch over too many years, he was and always will be very special to me. My prayers for the family and especially his beloved Mom!

I was so saddened to hear of Brians passing. As an old friend from WSU I would talk to Brian (Myron Lightbody) once or twice a year while driving by myself over the mountains. It was always a pleasure to hear his voice and his humor. I will miss his but will remember him each and every time I am on a long drive across our state.

Brian, I have a couple saved messages from you, one recent and one from my last birthday, just so I can hear your voice. Health circumstances kept me from your memorial, but I have a special candle lit for you and the family today. I'll miss your brilliance and sense of humor. Spending time with you was always a joy Until we meet again. Kathy

He was funny and bright, and from what Brad has shared, a devoted Mariner's fan who no longer has to endure the disappointment that comes at the end of the season. Rest in peace, Brian.

Brad and family, I always enjoyed Brian´s company. He was an intelligent entertaining individual. Brad, know that he thought the world of his big brother. Never was there a conversation with Brian that your name didn´t come up followed by some laughs. He´s at peace now.

My heart is aching at the loss of my wonderful, funny, caring, neighbor! Brian was my parent's neighbor for over 20 years. Daddy loved it when he would stop over to visit whenever he saw him outside. Brian gave me peace of mind knowing that he would check on Daddy if he had not seen him out on his smoking bench for a few days! I truly enjoyed getting to know Brian more after I moved into my parents' home. He was so intellectual, and our discussions were interesting and very varied. Brian had...

Brian and I were close as kids, but I always considered him a friend (even when we had drifted apart). My sincere condolences.
