My prayers and heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Bevis clan. I just found out from the Carroll newsletter (went to school with Bryan at Carroll and Washburn).

I read about Bryan's death in my Washburn Alumni magazine today. I am so sorry to hear of this. Bryan was a classmate of mine at Bishop Carroll H.S. in Wichita. He, Doug Bauer, and I were the only three from BC to attend Washburn from our class. Bryan was a genuinely nice guy with never a bad word about anyone. You have my sympathy in your loss. I will pray for you.

Joanie, I remember how much fun we all had at Lake Powell. Bryan was an instigator! I've stayed in touch 'through the grapevine' over the years. My heart goes out to you and your family; he was one of the good guys.

I hope Bryan's family knows what Bryan meant to all of us in the Victim Witness unit at the DA's office. I met him in 1981 and he was the most helpful, kind, knowledgeable, with a never quit attitude to complete an assignment to find a witness who did not want to be found.

I will remember him forever.

All my love to his entire family.

God Bless you all.
