I had the opportunity of working with Brian
at 3 different Mortgage Companies. We spent many hours discussing much more than business...My heart is heavy with this news but I know the Angels are rejoicing
and taking good care of him.
God Bless his family and his beloved Furry Friends.

Wow. I known Brian since I moved here in 1988 when he worked at Norwest with my neighbor Dennis Z as we played racquetball 2x a week. He got into mortgage business when I got into insurance business at the same time around 1990. We referred business back and forth, more him to me. We became good friends as our work ethic was the same, 24/7. Brian would send me quote requests at 10pm, Sat, Sunday etc and of course I'd get it to him ASAP. I'll really miss stopping by his office and meeting with him and our conversations about family, sports etc. Brian was a great person with a sense of humor I totally understood and I'll really miss him. I'm sorry I'll be out of town for the service but my prayers are with Sharron and his family.

Even though Brian and I didn't work together anymore, we seemed to cross paths and still enjoyed talking about the things we have shared in 20 years in the business. I personally will miss his random private messages on Facebook or emails. My heart and prayers go out to everyone who was touched by his wonderful life, spirit and humor. Linda Bertuzzi

Brian was one of my oldest and dearest friends. We met at a UNLV tailgate party not too long after he moved to Las Vegas. We had so many good times too numerous to list. I cherish my time with and memories of Brian and he will always be close to my heart. I am going to miss his wonderful infectious laugh and his witty humor. He was a friend to all that he met. Rest in peace my dear, dear friend. Derrek Yelton
