The Brian I knew was such a gentle soul and best friend to his wonderful wife!

My heart goes out to all of the Van Schmus family. So hard to believe this very sad news.
Sending prayers. So sorry for your loss.

I remember Brian laughing. He always found something to chuckle about, and gladly shared stories of his own goofiness if it would make the room guffaw! He also balanced Nina, and adored her. You could see it in his eyes, his deep love for his family.

Brian will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. We hear his laugh whenever we think of him. He was an important part of our family. Love, hugs and prayers to Nina, Anthony and Devin.

We are so sorry to hear about Brian. Praying for you all. May God bless you and your family with joyful memories and unexpected blessings that give you hope and peace.

Beautiful and heartfelt words. Brian will always be loved and missed. We will cherish memories of him and keep him in our hearts.
