Brian Lemke

Dear Jolene & Bill,
To our dear neighbors, words can not
express how deeply we were saddened
to hear of your tremendous loss.
We only found out on Christmas Eve
while I was busily making things to
take to our families celebration,
when Kelsey came in from the deck
with huge tears and her face red
with pain. My first thought was, oh
no... she had got into a car accident...but then she went on to
explain...that while visiting a friend,...

Dear Jolene,
Several years ago we shared in the world of "Elementary PTA Moms". Although I knew Brian only briefly as a young boy, I know he grew into an incredible young man. His spirit lives on and his legacy will continue to be a gift to us all.

Your courage and faith serves as an inspiration and I offer to you my deepest condolences and my continued prayers.

Sincerely,
Terry Fandel

Dear Bill and Jolene,
I am so saddened to hear about Brian. He was an awesome and handsome guy and i only regret not getting to know him better as a neighbor and a friend. I love getting to hear about all his experiences and love for the world though. Ill always remember him with a smile and inspiration :)

Dear Jolene,

I was on the Parent council with you years ago. I just wanted to say that the obituary for Brian was so beautiful. Your son, brought light into this world, what a gift for all of us. His legacy keeps giving, your faith and his are inspirational. Prayers of healing to you and your family. Peace Martha Konicek

I knew Brian for a couple of months through work. I loved seeing him everyday with his big wide smile, loud laugh, and so--- much energy. He cared for everyone and loved the Lord with all his heart. Brian will be missed.

Dear Brian's family,
Even though I don't know him I grieved for you when I heard of Brian's passing. I have 2 sons of my own and I had a wonderful brother whom I lost 19 yrs. ago who was very much like Brian it seems! Full of love for the Lord and full of life to live for Him! I prayed for you on his funeral and felt bad that the weather went bad until I heard that Brian loved to ski and I thought this snow storm he probably ordered just for everyone who remembered him and how much he...

Dear Brian:
I Will miss you so much! I am so thankful that I had gotten the oppertunity to meet you and I had gotten to go to JH Ranch with you... I will miss you greatly! You had done a lot for our church and everything else. You cared about everyone else then yourelf. I know you're in a better place with god now. I just wish your time didn't have to come so fast. I miss you so much! I will see you one day up in heaven! I love you BRian! Love ya britany

I never knew Brian, but his story inspired me and i'm dedicating my first Marathon run in Las vegas this weekend in his memory

Dear Joelene and family,
Words are difficult to find that will express the deep sadness and grief that comes with the loss of your precious child. His life and faith are a true testimony to God's promise and love. May you find comfort and peace knowing that His plan for us is perfectly designed - He has gone ahead and prepared our way. With sympathy, Loire Klade (Precept)
