To the Carmack Family,

When Bryan went to join Our Merciful Father, a shinning star, an angel of all angels was added in our Lord's Heavenly Gallery. Bryan will be missed, it was a blessing knowing him and working with him, he was a loving kind person. It has been a blessing knowing all of you. May our Lord's mercy endure forever with you.

A Friend Always,

I am so very sorry to hear about Bryan's passing. I grew up living down the street from Bryan and went through 12 years of school with him. Although our families moved and lost touch - I am thankful for the shared childhood memories with Bryan. He was such a sweet guy. I wish his family strength, peace, and love.

I will miss Bryan greatly, I only knew Bryan for a couple years working at ASLS. But in that short time we became not only colleagues, but good friends and shared many a great conversations and shared life experiences. He was a great man with a very compassionate loving heart that will be greatly missed by his loved ones, his friends and the rest of the world.

To the Carmack family:I am deeply saddened for your loss. One thing I admired about Bryan was his endless devotion to his family. He made that very apparent. I could tell he was very proud of his kids, and deeply loved his wife. Aaron, Alisha, and Mindi I bet you miss him so much. Luckily he will live on in your hearts forever.

Dearest Carmack Family,

May the God of all comfort hold you in the palm of His hand and close to His heart as you go through this valley. May you be keenly aware His presence as He collects, and makes note of, your every tear. Bryan was a wonderful husband, father and friend.

The comfort of the hope of seeing one another again on the other side is one of the most precious gifts we have from our loving Saviour.

I'm so grateful for our friendship and the precious memories we've shared over the years. Bryan's gentleness, kindness, generosity, humor and his love for God will live in our hearts forever.

My fervent prayers have been and shall continue to be with you.

Love & blessings,
Debra Place

Dearest Carmack Family,

You have been so much in my prayers and on my heart these many difficult months. I know that none of us can fully experience or remove your grief, but know that we are lifting you up in prayer and that you are not alone. "The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms..." I pray that His grace would comfort you and meet your every need, and that each of your hearts would be strengthened in knowing that you are held in the arms of God.

Mindi-- your undying love and devotion has been such a testimony to me as I watched you stand tirelessly by Bryan's side with the heart of a servant and a loving wife. I have so many precious memories of our families spending time together over the years, and I will always be thankful for the privilege of knowing Bryan as a close family friend— one who loved God, loved to laugh, poured his life into his family, and was happiest being among those he loved. I am so thankful for the comfort of knowing that we will see him again and rejoice with him in the presence of our Savior.

Love and prayers always,
Bethany

Dear Mindi, Alisha and Aaron:
You all have a special place in our hearts not just as family, but because sometimes we face the same unwanted journeys such as loss. As you surrounded us in unconditional love, devotion, extreme giving and care with mom, we want you to know that we extend our prayers as that is what we can do from a distance. But these prayers are full of love and thoughts as we know the toughness that you are going through, and yet we also know that God's peace can amazingly carry us a long way. We pray that His indescribable peace will cover and wrap around you all, and that you will know the warm of Him being near you and holding you.
We love you...

Mindi,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Bryan made our lives better. We enjoyed his humor and outlook on life. We miss him greatly.

Bryan was a wonderful friend. We both enjoyed homeschooling our children. Sometimes together. We attended the same home fellowship and congregation. And we both enjoyed the "Red Green" show from PBS. Bryan will no longer need to pray the "Man's Prayer -- I'm a man, but I can change -- if I have to -- I guess." Bryan has changed. To life eternal. I will see him again one day. Maybe he will teach me to play golf on the greens and fairways of heaven.

I had the pleasure of working with Bryan at ASLS. He always took a personal interest in helping EVERY student achieve financial success. He did the same with the employee's as well! Bryan will truly be missed.

Mindy, Alisha, Aaron and family,

It wasn't that long ago that you poured your time, energy, love, etc into my family as we went through our loss. As the Lord walked so close to me and tenderly showed Himself, I know that He will do the same for you. Bryan is finally home, and we will all one day enjoy or new home together with our Savior, Jesus. May the Lord give you deep peace and a renewed purpose as you trust in Him.
