Brian Brach Obituary
Music, art, politics, and world events were of great interest to Brian and he enjoyed spirited conversations on these topics.

He is survived by his step-father, Bruce Gordon of New Mexico; brother, Vincent Brach of Texas and a cousin, Jasmine Star of Washington. Brian's charismatic personality and sense of humor will be missed by all.
A rosary will be held at 3:30 p.m Friday, March 5, 2010, at Steed-Todd Chapel with a memorial service to follow at 4:00 p.m. The cremains will be buried at a later date in Tyler, Texas.

My life was enriched because of Brian's perspective, it always made me think deeper. He was a thinker! My life has been enriched by our meeting one sunny NM day at Dairy Queen. Brian encouraged me during a sorrowful time with my son's illness. I then saw Brian at Legacy Life Family Church where we shared our faith in Jesus Christ. He always smiled and gave me a hand shake no matter where we were. I am glad to have known you Brian, I am a better person for it; I will surely miss you. I am without doubt you are walking on the streets of gold praising with the angels! You are well with Him!

We were blessed to have met Brian when we were stationed at Cannon. We knew him 5 plus years while we all attened Sandia Baptist church together. I remember seeing him at Wal-Mart one day in the winter, the weather was so horrible and he said he was going to walk home. I offered him a ride and he agreeded, but my car is kinda short and not tall inside, so Brian being the big guy he was had gotten in and had his neck sideways so his head could fit. He then asked if I could open my sunroof! It was funny and one of many great memories of Brian. I loved his "Crome Dome" jokes. Rest in Peace Brian.

The photo of Brian captures his personality...love and laughter. We loved Brian, his sense of humor, and his quest for knowledge. The world is just a bit less bright without him. For the family, please know Brian brought much happiness and laughter into the lives of everyone he touched.

Brian, you were a cooky kind of guy. Always a smile on your face. I recall driving you in my Taxi to the Airport years ago when you had corrective surgery on your eyes. You were a delight to have conversations with. Now your hanging out with my son in heaven. Rest in peace brother.

Hey Brian... This is your cousin, Jasmine writing to let you know how much I will miss our friendship, conversations and your crazy puns! You were a unique and "one of a kind" type of person, that is for sure! You always remembered me each holiday with a phone call and a greeting card with a "God bless you" note in each card. I still have the Valentine's Day card and Birthday card you sent to me this year. Today, as I passed by the greeting cards in the store I thought of the guinea pig Valentine's Day card I sent to you this year and remembered how much you enjoyed it. I still can not believe I will not hear your voice again and your wonderful loud laugh. You always told me how much you loved your spending time with your friends and teachers in Clovis, painting and "enjoyed living each day to the fullest". I will continue to think of you often. Sorry, that I am not able to make it down to Clovis for the Memorial service and have chance to meet your friends. I will say my prayers for you at my home tomorrow. Best wishes to you, as always. Keep smiling, laughing and telling your puns to everyone that you meet!
Love, your cousin, Jasmine

I will miss Brian and his nice smile and handshake. I took an art class with Brian many years ago. We had to do a drawing of the person next to us in one of the assignments and I drew Brian, I still have the drawing. Brian always brought a Christmas card to me at the Library every Christmas. I will miss him.

I would first like to convey my condolences to the family. I had met Brian several years ago, back in the nineties when I was a new student at Clovis Community College. I remember when I fist met Brian. He always approached me as being friendly, happy, cheerful, and outgoing. He always seemed to take the time to care and get to know you as a person. I'll never forget his huge laugh and his wonderful smile. He definitely was a gentle soul and will be missed and not forgotten.

Brian was my dear friend for twenty years. His joy of life was a force of nature and it will always be the first thing I think of when I remember him. It was always a pleasure to spend time with Brian and it is so difficult to realize that he won't be dropping by my office at CCC anymore. All the wonderful conversations, that big marvelous laugh - I sure am going to miss you, buddy!
