On the anniversary of Brian's untimely passing, I would like to note that many people still hold him in their hearts and thoughts. We will for a long time, perhaps until we pass ourselves. This is just one gift that Brian left; memories never to be forgotten.

Though I met Brian only briefly his humor, generosity and intelligence, along with his faithful commitment to his loved one David Grignon was exeptional. I knew him mostly from my brother's voice, and found from my parents that he was an incredible human soul who endeared himself to everyone he met. In passing too soon, the people who's lives he touched will carry him forever in our hearts.

We will miss Brian tremendously. In the last two years, as the parents of David Grignon, Brian's loving partner, he became a very inportant member of our family. It took only one family gathering for us to fall for him. He was so intelligent, funny and generous and so very, very good to David. The family was always asking, "when is Brian coming out again". He has left a large gap in our hearts and we will miss him so much.

Brian was always funny, brilliant, serious and a delight.
I knew him many rears ago, and came in contact again very recently.
I'm shocked by this news, but hope that Brian has found peace at last.
I shall think of him.
