Dear Brian.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this, and my heart aches knowing that I wasn´t aware of your passing after all these years.. The news of losing you has hit me harder than I could have imagined. We shared so many unforgettable moments-hanging out at each other´s houses, playing video games, swimming, and having sleepovers. Those were some of the best days of my life, and you were always at the center of them.

Even though time and distance separated us after I moved back to Korea, you were never forgotten. I often thought about those carefree days in Scottsdale and wondered how life was treating you. It breaks my heart to know that your journey in life ended far too soon, and I wasn't there to share more moments with you or to say goodbye properly.

I´ll always treasure the memories we shared together-the laughter, the friendship, the innocence of our childhood. You were one of my best friends, and you´ll always hold that place in my heart. I´m sorry we lost touch, but I´ll carry the good times we had with me always.

Rest easy, Brian. You´ll always be missed, but never forgotten. Until we meet again old friend.

Your old childhood friend now from the other side of the globe,
- Won -

Brian was a friend and Son-in-Law that taught me much in life; he was amazingly bright and knowledgeable far beyond his years. He had insight that still astounds me; I will never forget him or be the same without him. I will always offer all I can for the kids Brian, as long as I live, count on it.
-Until we meet again good friend.

Dear Alan and Cheri;

I am so sorry for your loss. Brian was 13 years old when he first came to my office back in 1992. I have watched him mature into a remarkable young man who loved his family and was a responsible father and provider. I will miss his caring smile.

I had the pleasure of working for Brian and the Robinette family for four years. Brian was a wonderful mentor and companionate friend. He had an amazing ability to master any skill, whether that was working with his hands or with people. Brian always had a passion for life and led by example. I owe thanks to him and the entire Robinette family for the lessons and friendship I received from the time I knew Brian. He will be missed by many, but his life lessons will live on through me and all the others that had the pleasure of knowing Brian.

Brian you were the coolest big brother. Even though you hated me tagging along and playing with your friends, you always had my back when need be. You honestly had the biggest heart and I can't believe how much time you put into helping others. Your selflessness was beautiful. Mr. Fix it. When something breaks we are going to freak out. I have the fondest memories of you. Lake Powell, childhood, friends, family and your 4 beautiful children who represent everyday from here on forward. God rest your soul big brother. I love you so much and I will see you soon enough in my dreams and whenever we meet again.....
p.s. I got a tattoo too but I am sure you are less surprised than you were to hear that Aunt Debbie and teresa got one.xoxoxox

Brian was my brother and best friend, he was one of the smartest and talented people I've ever known, most of what I know I learned from brain. He hardly ever lived a dull moment between all the trips we took to all the things we blew up. Brian will be missed and we will stay strong.

Teresa Robinette

Brian was the absolute best big brother I could ever ask for. Everyone came before him. I always remember him trying to keep Michelle, Jayce, and I all together and safe when we were little. We have the best memories at Lake powell. He was always helping my dad fix the boat. He always fixed everything. I miss you so much Brian. I learned so much from you. I love you. Please come visit me in my dreams soon.
Love always and forever, Teresa

ps. I got a tattoo of your name and a little bomb on my back in your memory. We all know how much you liked to blow stuff up! xoxox

Brian was a great guy - he would do anything to help me or my family. I remember the fun times as kids, having water gun fights. I know I will miss Brian and his laid-back, easy going attitude. Thank you for the great memories

Brian was my nephew. We were close and spent alot of time talking. I would like everyone to know that he was a kind and gentle soul. He was smart, handsome, funny and would do for others before himself - especially his family. My heart aches because I miss him so much. I cant imagine the pain of his parents, brother, sisters, wife and children. I loved him more than life and will miss him everyday forever. I love you Brian! Love Aunt Debbie

I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of your beloved Brian. Having known him professionally for over 15 years, he was a very kind and thoughtful man whose eyes would "light up" whenever he spoke of his family.
Please find comfort knowing he is still with you, in your hearts, watching over you.
I will miss him too.

I met Brian and Alan when I contracted with them several years ago to eliminate my termite problem. Brian became my account executive and always obviously did the best he knew how whenever I found a new place to treat. He was aways courteous, timely, pleasant, and without fail filled holes and swept up left overs. I will miss him along with many others. My condolences to the family.

Brian was our nephew. Our fondest memory of him was that at the age of 10 years old he videotaped our entire wedding. The camera was huge and hurting his shoulder and he just kept saying he wanted to do this for us. We love Brian and he will always be remembered in our hearts. Love Uncle Todd and Aunt Alicia Harris.
