I was one of Dr. Browns first patient at CaroMont. He was a great doctor and friend to both my husband and I. He was intelligent, funny and very concerned for his patients. I was his patient until he and his family moved to New Zealand. I wish he had come back to CaroMont. I will miss him very much. Please accept my deepest sympathy. My prayers will be with you as you deal with this so great loss. God Bless you with his everlasting love and comfort.

I am sorry for your loss. I only met Dr Brown 1 time when he examined my 2 year old son this past Feb. When he looked in my son's ear he said let me see if I see the birdie. He then made some faint, distant bird sounds that got a little bit louder. It was very impressive and my son really thought there was a bird in his ear. My son was quite intrigured by this and I thought it was so neat. So sorry to hear of his passing.

I cannot put into words what a wonderful person Brian was. The memories we shared are as bright and beautiful today as the day we made them. He was the best man at my wedding and the best friend anyone could hope to have. I will never forget the time we spent hiking and camping out West, the time we went to Dolly Sods, and the times we spent on the Gaully river. He will be sorely missed. Brian, every Sierra Nevada will be for you.

I cannot put into words what a great friend Brian was to me. We shared many good times over the years and those memories are as bright and beautiful today as the day we made them. I will never forget the two months we spent together camping out West nor will I forget our trips to the Gaully river. He was the best man at my wedding and he was the best friend anyone could hope to have. He will be greatly missed. Brian - every Sierra Nevada will always be for you.
