I already miss you Br. You are my friend and brother and all the times you and Karen and Lori and I have spent together are part of what makes me want to be a better person. I will not let you down, Karen is still a cherished friend and sister-in-law. Your love for life is inspirational. I love you man, your big brother Dave

I was fortunate to share a lot of great memories with Brian on our many adventures in the treetops & crawling through tunnels. Brian had a wonderful zest for life & love of the outdoors. HIs spontaneity & positive energy were contagious. His friendship will be missed although I know Brian has made the ultimate climb to heaven to be with the Lord.

I am heartbroken for the Truitt family. Brian talked about them all the time. I am truly going to miss the conversations we would have when I would get to work in the morning. God bless you Brian.

My heart is so heavy right now, I will truly miss Brian. Brian was strictly dedicated to his job and his family. We would talk about the job and then our conversation would go from there to his family, my family including dogs, and God. There were times we both would be so frustrated but we encouraged one another. Brian had his surgery and I had mine a week later, he sent me a prayer that I will always cherish and we both checked on each other. Brian was such a caring and loving person his shoes will be very hard to fill. To the family please stay strong and cherish all the memories cause that’s what Brian would want you to do. I will keep you in my prayers. ❤❤

Brian was such a positive person. In my dealings with him in my role as a quality assurance inspector for Mid-American Cleaning Contractors, he was firm in his expectations but so very fair. I will miss his input as well as his stories of his many travels, particularly of his overseas trips. He was a terrific contact, and my heartfelt condolences go to his family.

Brian was the best friend anyone could ask for. He always knew how to talk you off a ledge, make you laugh, listen when your heart was breaking or even sing to you when you thought no one cared. Brian was a dear friend and my heart is just broken, and although we no longer worked together, I will miss him dearly. Prayers and love Karen, you and the kids were his world he loved you all so much. ❤

I will miss Brian's presence at Big Lots, especially his phone ringing to the Notre Dame fight song. We always knew Brian was in the area when his phone went off. It just won't be the same not seeing him in the hallways and will miss his ability to fix absolutely anything! But I know that every time I hear the ND Victory March, I will think of Brian.
