Dear Brian,
Today will be 13 years since you've been gone, but you haven't truly been gone for a single second you live on everyday through every person who's life you touched, including mine. So much has changed, and I constantly wish that I could sit down with you and catch up on everything, but I know that you've been keeping up... I know that you're here with us all the time and you will never be forgotten. I've been thinking about you a lot this year, little things just pop up here and there; pictures, memories, a song. As young as I was, you were always a brother to me, I looked up to you, and I still do. I can still feel you guiding me through things when life gets rough. you truly were a light in this world, It's your memory that inspires me to be a better person every day, and I can find hope and peace in knowing that one day I will see you again.
Until that day, I know you'll be around even if I can't see you.
Love, Devin.

Brian, it has been three years and I miss you just as much today as then. Time has not dimmed your memory. I spent the day on the anniversary of your death thinking of you and looking at the pictures, cards, program, everything I have in a basket about you and that terrible day. Your Mother misses you so much and will never be the same. We love you, Grandma

Hi Brian,
It's been really hard to show my emotions since you've been gone. Every time I hear your name or see a motorcycle, (which is every day), I think of you and all of the good times we've had. Experiences that won't happen again. We all miss you so much.

Brian, I miss you so, I will never know joy like I did. Christmas will be so sad without you. Your mother will never be the same. So many things remind me of you, your old high school, places you loved to eat, where you bought your first truck, so many things. I will never be the same. I miss you so. I don't cry as often but still miss you all the same and think of you all the time. Sometimes I laugh thinking of funny things you did. You were a part of my life for 22 years and was like my child. love Grandma Janice

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints in the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circle flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die.'

One year later and I am still thinking about this family.
I did not know Brian, but he certainly sounds like such an amazing person from all that has been written in this guest book.
I pray that each passing day will get a little easier and the happy memories of your loved one will always be with you.
GOD BLESS!!!!

Brian,

This day, two years ago, you asked me to marry you and it made me the happiest person on earth! That was the happiest day of my life because we decided to spend the rest of our life together. I will cherish that memory and all the ones we had together for the rest of my life.

I love you and miss you very much.

Brian-
I still have the program from your memorial service on my fridge in
honor of you.
As we get older we see alot of family members, friends from high school and work who pass on and we get use to it because it is a part of life.
But I have to say that your passing was the most difficult to accept. I
cried not only because you are not here on earth with us, but because
I know that your mom, dad, grandparents and the rest of your family will never smile with the same joy because you are not here.
It was an honor to know you,
I hope we will all see you again one day and we can all sing along to
"Sweet Home Alabama". I will never forget you.

I just found out about this guest book, so I'm sorry I haven't written before. Brian is missed by many, especially by his mom. She loves him so much. I cry sometimes thinking how sad she is. Brian was the kind of person that you would actually LET your own daughter marry. I know of no greater compliment than that. I remember visiting Cindy and Matt through the years and Brian and I always had this thing we did that was so cute. I would say I was going to kiss him, and he would proceed to run around the house and I'd chase him. But he'd always let me catch him and give him kisses (of course, that's when he was younger - after about 15, that would just be wrong!!). I do miss that though. I miss sweet Brian. Cindy, I know September 20, his birthday, and October 20, the day he died, are going to be the hardest days of your life every year. Know that I am praying for you and I love you. Matt, I know you miss him, too. I'm so happy you are remarried and have another chance at being a father. It won't be Brian, but you'll have a child to love again. I'm happy for you. Bob and Janice and the rest of the families, I know you all loved Brian so much and miss him. I'll pray for all of you, too. I was so glad to see those of you I hadn't seen in years, but I hated that it was at Brian's funeral. Sometimes I wonder why God takes the good ones and leaves the bad ones here on this earth for us to have to deal with! I know we are supposed to learn something from it, but it's hard to think that way when I know Cindy is so heartbroken, along with the whole family and anyone who ever knew Brian. I'm going to try my hardest to live this life by God's rules - that way I'll get to see all of those good ones again when I get to heaven! I hope all of you do the same. I love you guys! Dale (May) Pickett, friends w/ Cindy and Matt since junior high.

At first it was shock and then disbelief. Now one year later it is grief. He is missed more now than before. He was so special. There has never been a more perfect person. His mother is grieving so much. He is missed by so many. I am putting flowers at our alter at church on the anniversary of his death. I know we will never get over his leaving us. This guest book will end soon and I will miss it. It gives me somewhere to talk to him. I charish the time I had with him and the many, many memories and pictures, videos, so much. I miss him so, his grandmother, Janice

Brian, This is the first time I have written, because it has always been so hard to put my emotions into words. I have called your phone so many times just to hear your voice one more time, you are a true inspiration to not only me but everyone you have touched in your very short life!! You were taken too young and I will miss you dearly!! My life is never going to be the same. You were what we all tried to aspire to be like. You were not only my cousin, you were my brother, my friend . It hurts still because I know that people who enter my life in the future will never know you as the wonderful man you were, they will only know the name and stories I tell!! My heart breaks everyday and I selfishly cry for me because I MISS YOU!! I don't cry for you because I know you are in a better place, but I want you in my life today, tomorrow and forever. There was comfort there in knowing that I could always call you for whatever silly reason I had. I know I have to be the best I can be while i am here, because I desprately want to see you again, so I promise you I will do my best so I can see you again. I have so many regrets, but I know that you know my intentions were good. I LOVE YOU!!

Hey Brian...It's me, Beverly. I'm sorry I didn't sign this sooner - I didn't know about it until your Grandma sent it to me. I was at your memorial service with my family - it was beautiful. You'd have been proud of both your Mom and Dad. Since Chelsea died I'd have to say that the LORD has been racking up His "angels." You two were our angels here on earth. We love you and miss you both. Give her a hug for me and have her do the same. We love you too!

Hey honey! I miss you so much...Everyone said it would get easier as the days go by, but wow...it gets harder! I think about you all day, every day. I know you are looking down at me with that big beautiful smile of yours. I miss that smile and coming home to you every day and everything else about you! I will see you again and when I do...it will be a beautiful day! :-) I love you more than you love me..... (bring back memories??) I love you so much baby!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Brian, we got through the Memorial service and I know you would have been proud of your family. I still cry because I still can't believe you are gone and not a day goes by that I don't mention your name or I'm reminded of you in some way. Your Mom finds the nights are the hardest for her. You made us all so very proud of you and your memory will live on forever. What a handsome, sweet, gentle nephew you were. I love you and miss you my dear sweet Brian. Aunt Karen Ankrum

There are not many people in this world that could touch so many lives like Brian did. I admire him so much for that. He had such great friends and even though I have just met some of them for the first time during this time I feel like they are Chris and I's friends immediately. That just shows you what type of people Brian surrounded himself with. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.
To Kim (my sister-in-law)
My heart aches for you. I love you very much and you know that whatever you need, your brother and I are always here for you!

October 30, 2006

Kim, Cindy, Steve, Chris, Tara and Devin...I don't know where to begin but what I'm about to say is everything you already know. As I sat at Brian's memorial service and witnessed the number of folks that have come into Brians's life just during his time in this area, I was overwhelmed by the love flowing all around for Brian. I especially felt heartwrenched to watch your family that day as this felt so final. All the testimonals spoken just re-irrated how truly special Brian is. Kim, My prayers are with you as you have lost someone so special and I know you were so excited about planning this BIG wedding, and Steve/Cindy, my prayers are with you because I know how excited you were to have Brian into your lives. He is truly a legacy for this family!
God Bless you all and you will meet him again.
I love you all!!

Cindy I know how much you loved Brian and my heart breaks for you. When you talked about him it was always clear to see what a proud mother you were and what a remarkable young man he must have been. I hope that knowing how special he was and all the loving memories you have will comfort you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cindy, I can not begin to express my condolences to you for the loss of Brian. Over the past 15 years of knowing you both I have watched as Brian grew from a boy to man... The one thing that stands out is the happiness and love you had for each other which will carry you forward with everlasting memories...May God comfort you, you are in my prayers.

October 28, 2006

I dont know where to start. I have been so inspired by what I have witnessed through this time. From so many people that have given so much support to our families. Our world is still so full of such heart filled people and it has really shown in this time of need and sorrow. Brian was a son in law to me and I was really looking foreward to sharing so many experiences with him and our family. I was very proud of this young man although he at times appeared to be much older if you look at what he had accomplished already. My comfort now comes from the fact that God has assured me that we will meet again, but until that day I will remember all the times we all shared and that GREAT attitude he had. Well miss you son, but we'll take care of things here until our day comes. I JUST CANT THANK YOU ALL EHOUGH FOR SHARING IN BRIAN'S LIFE AS WELL AS HIS PASSING. To those of you who did not know Brian but were there for him in his last minutes may God Bless You.

It is so hard to find the words to try and comfort those who have suffered such a loss. Kimberly, We knew a long time ago that you had captured Brian's heart. I knew the first time I saw him you had found your prince...standin' right up in the Bob Evans Restaurant, just a smilin' that beautiful smile!!! His love for you is something you can cherish always, along with all of your beautiful memories. I know that you know you will see him again, and while it is so hard for us to understand, I believe that your Brian was so special that God just couldn't wait to see him!!! And Heaven is a happier place because he is there.
I Love You Sweet Girl and you are always in my prayers.

To those who helped Brian that Friday evening, I believe you were Heaven Sent! You reassure me of God's Love at work among us!

To Brian's family I extend my deepest sympathy. May you take comfort knowing that Brian is safe with our Heavenly Father.

To Steve Cindy Devin Chris & Tara, I am overwhelmed by your love & support of Kimberly and I am sorry for your loss as I know Brian was your family as well. I Love You All.

~Brian: hey there its " your other woman heather" i can't get you out of my prayers and thoughts, i miss you so much and can only hope you are at peace and that there is a field full of mud in heaven because we never got to go muddin' together. i'll miss you and be seeing you soon.

Our hearts ache for Cindy, Matt, Janice and Bob as well as all of our extended family who loved Brian so much. Ther can be no greater human sorrow than that which comes from losing a child. Brian was also like a child to Janice and Bob. Our sorrows can only be lessened with time and the knowledge that Brian is now with the Lord --as Jesus, who cannot lie, promised. Those who knew Brian are assured that Brian trusted in the Lord, and is, therefore now with Him. We cannot bring him back, but we can go to be with him eternally.

We're sorry that we cannot be with the family at the memorial, but we're two thousand miles away. We have been praying for God to heal the broken hearts.

God Bless You! With all my love to the VanHorn and Greer families,

It's a shame Brian was taken so soon, but I know he's in heaven and happier than the rest of us can even imagine. He was like a brother to me and we had some really fun times growing up. Even though he's younger than me, I looked up to him, and always tried to emulate his character. Words can't describe how much I'll miss him. God Bless

I love you, Brian
Your cousin,

The last time i saw Brian was at his Aunt Valerie's wedding. I did not keep in touch with him directly but i knew of all his accomplishments through his Aunt Sherry. I have been close to the VanHorn family for a very long time and I know how much love they have for each other and that will help them though this sad time. My heart goes out to Kim as I know first hand what it is to lose the love of your life. Kim, keep fresh in your mind all the great memories you have with Brian and that will help you through these difficult days. God has a plan for everything he does and I believe he has taken Brian to be a Guardian Angel to all those he loved and to those who loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you.

Brian is my sister's only grandson. She always had tremendous pride in him as a little boy and then a man. My own daughter was very impressed with Brian when she met this happy, handsome and polite young man at one of our reunions. Our hearts ache for Cindy, Grandma Janice, Grandpa Bob, and all that family.

I was at the scene of this accident Friday night and I stayed the entire time praying for this young man laying in the road so helplessly. So many people were there trying to assist and help. I did not know Brian...but I felt compelled to sign this guest book and let his family, friends and his fiance Kim know that I am so very sorry! I have been thinking and praying for all of you since this accident. I pray you find strength to go on and know that you will one day see Brian again.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!

I am Brian's Fiance and I will miss him very much as will the rest of his family and friends. I know he will live on in our hearts and he is always looking down at us with that big, beautiful smile! He is now my permanent guardian angel and I believe that with all my heart.

I just want to say Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Brian worked with both my husband and myself at Hendrick Honda. To me Brian was very shy but my husband was his team leader. Brian was a hard and very dependable worker who will be missed. At times like this knowing that a young man was so loved by friends and coworkers should be some of a comfort. He worked with a great group of people who considered him part of their family. Our brother, friend and coworker will be missed but will always remembered by all. We send our sympathy to the Greer family and to Kim.

FROM THE TIME IN WHICH BRIAN FIRST ENTERED POLLIE'S AND MY LIFE WE HAVEN'T BEEN THE SAME. THIS BIG STRONG YOUNG MAN WITH A HEART AS GENTLE AS A KITTEN REDEFINED THE WORD FRIEND IN OUR LIVE'S. BRIAN WAS AN EXPERT IN GIVING OF ONE'S SELF AND WE COULD ALL LEARN FROM HIM. I AM A BETTER PERSON FOR HAVING KNOWN HIM AND I AM SURE HE WOULD WANT US TO PASS IT ON TO OTHERS.
HIS SPIRIT WILL FOREVER BE WITH US THROUGH THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE KIM. ALTHOUGH WE MOURN HIS PASSING, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE JOY AND CELEBRATION THAT TOOK PLACE WHEN BRIAN ARRIVED IN HEAVEN. TO KNOW BRIAN WAS TO TRULY LOVE HIM. THANK YOU BRIAN FOR EVERYTHING AND FOR JUST BEING OUR FRIEND.
GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
IN LOVING MEMORY,
LARRY AND POLLIE.

I only knew Brian for a short time while working together. I have to say that he was one of the funniest kids I've ever met and I am better off for having known him. Everyone he came in contact with was left smiling and there are not too many people you could say that about. Brian will be sorely missed but if you knew him you know that he is in a better place now. I'll miss him, he was a great friend.

My nephew was my friend, a brother to my daughters, and a gentleman to everyone he met. God creates a few good men and he was certainly one. Cindy and Matt did a wonderful job raising a man that all could be proud off. He stands tall in God's Kingdom and is a light we can all aspire to emulate. My condolences to Kim and her family. I love you Brian. Uncle Kenna

It is hard to know what to say at a time like this. But I will always remember Brian as the cutest little boy with his mommy's brown eyes. I will also remember how his grandparents, Bob and Janice would light up when telling us stories about him. He was loved so much. We are so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our daily thoughts and prayers. We love you all.

I came to know Brian at his first technician job out of school. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of him is perserverance. He knew what he wanted to do, and was going to do it no matter how difficult. A good outlook on life. I'm so dissapointed we won't see him and Kim experience their future together, but I know Brian is in a better place and all the rest of us can do is be part of a bigger plan we may not always understand. We'll miss you Brian.
