Our Deepest Sympathy to the Cannon Family. Brian was a tenant of ours for over 10 years. Immediately when he moved in he took pride in helping us keep the yard and house clean. He was a friendly and kind man. He will be deeply missed. May he memories bring you comfort. RIP My friend

Brian was someone that would go out of his way to do what was best for the people he served. Brian always advocated for those in his care, able to notice and address even the smallest details. His caring nature for the individuals in the group home made his an exceptional staff member. It was a pleasure working with Brian and he will be missed.

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Brain for 4 of his 15 years of service in Bridgewell.
I supervised Brian directly at 4 Anne Dr. in Peabody MA. Brian was very passionate about his job. Brian was a great advocate and for the four individuals who live in the program. He served them diligently with all their interests at heart, making sure all their needs were met. He was a caring, devoted, hardworking staff member who readily took up responsibilities to ensure the program was running smoothly. He assisted me in any way he could, always going above and beyond in delivering his duties.
My staff and I greatly miss Brian and so do the individuals he served. His sudden departure is a huge loss for us and for Bridgewell.

Brian,
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace!

To Brian's family,

Brian worked for me at Bridgewell for over a year. He was the staff member that truely cared for the individuals at the group home that he worked at. His caring nature for them made his an exceptional staff member. When I ran the house...he was my right hand man. He would make sure so many things for the guys would be done...he truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND for them.
After I left the group home I stayed in connect with Brian often. We became friends and chatted often about common interests as well as the human services field. He fondly talked about Jess any chance he got.
I am profoundly sad about the loss of Brian, as my friend and coworker. His caring nature, passion for the people he served, and love he had for Anne Drive is a huge loss for Bridgewell.

Brian--you will be missed greatly.
