Brian came into my life over 25 yrs ago, when we worked together at Speedy Muffler. He was a top notch mechanic and quickly became a close friend. We hung out together for many of those yrs, playing on dart teams, shooting pool, and working on cars. Brian was always willing to donate his expertise fixing cars for people in need. He was a very caring person, and would help others without looking for reward or accolades. Helping someone was his reward. His biggest joy was having his daughter, Heather, come into his life. He made it a point to drive her to and from school, whenever he could, even with prosthetic legs. Brian will be remembered as one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, and will forever be in my heart ❤ Rest in peace, Brother

Absolutely heartbroken to hear about Brian's passing. He was very good to my kids and I during an awful time in our lives and I'll never forget his kindnesses. While I hadn't seen him in awhile, whenever we spoke he always made me smile. May Brian Rest In Peace and may his family find peace in their hearts. With much love and respect for one of the good guys. Don & Kim Sparks
