Dear Mrs. Luczak,

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn the news of your son's death. He was a student of mine last semester. A unique individual who displayed a genuine enthusiasm for art and the creation of it. I know he will be missed by many and I am one of them.

My condolences to you and your family.

Your warm smile and alternative style were a breath of fresh air in this cookie cutter world. You could always make me laugh & I loved our talks! You left an impression on me & everyone else that you came across. You will be missed, but your memory will last forever in our hearts & minds. Love you! ~LIZ~

Ms. Luczak, although Brian and I talked less towards the end of high school, he is someone I will never forget. I will always remember him as someone who could always make me smile and laugh, who was an amazing artist, and a genuine friend. He will be missed so much by anyone who knew him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, and I hope that God may bring you peace.

Brian and I were never best friends but that was the thing about Brian, those kinds of things didn't matter to him. No matter who you were or what was going on he always treated everyone the same. He was a caring person and a great artist. I'll always remember hanging out after school freshman and sophomore year. He will be missed.

Brian and I were never that close of friends but he always knew how to brighten a persons day. I remember junior year people forgot my birthday. Brian took off a ribbon from his shirt and pinned it on me and sang happy birthday to me. That was Brian, he made the simplest of gestures into a world of difference. I still have that ribbon that he gave me because it meant that much to me. It's sitting here in front of me as I write this. He has touched my life and many others. Brian was the most caring individual. You didn't have to be his best friend, but he treated everyone like they were. I will miss him everyday and I will pray for Brian. I offer my condolences and my prayers are with you and your family. God Bless and take care of you.

Ms. Luczak,

Even though I only knew Brian briefly during my first year of school at SAIC, I was extremely fond of him. I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to know him better but I will always keep with me the good memories I have of him. I am very sorry for your loss and wanted to let you know that he will be missed very much by all of us.

Dear Donna:

I just heard about this today. My heart is breaking for you and your family.

It reminded me of the letters you would always write to Brian whenever you went on a trip. The first time you shared that story, I remember thinking what a loving relationship the two of you had, and what a blessing he was to you.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Ms. Luczak,

I remember the times we spent at ur house. I remember how Brian would care for everyone. As cliche as it seems he really never had a bad word to say about anyone. You are not alone we all love and care for Brian. I pray for his soul and i pray for you in this time of need. May the Lord bless you.

I wish I could think of a story or experience I had with Brian. But all I can remember are the little things. Like the pictures he drew in history, his honesty and courage, his friendliness. I'm sorry I didn't know him better, but I'm grateful that I was there at all to know an amazing human being like Brian.

Although Brian and I haven't talked much since High School, we were the closest of friends for our first couple years there. We shared many laughs together and held some of the most meaningful discussions of my young life. I'm stricken with grief, yet I know God has a reason for all of this, and I ask His blessing on Brian's family and friends.

Although Brian and I were the closest our freshman year of highschoool, one never forgets a good friend. Brian, forever in our hearts and memories will you live on. You have touched so many lives, and have shown us that loyalty in friendship is a must. Thank you for everything, you will be missed.

Brian was an awesome friend, roommate, and all-around person. He was there for me sometimes when no one was around, and he was just a great shoulder to lean on. He will without a doubt be missed, because he was a one of a kind, true friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Sincerely,

Armand Fields

Ms. Luczak though I've never met you, I heard many times from both Brian and my roommate Christian what a wonderful person you are, and I can't begin to describe my regret for your loss. Brian was a good, honest, generous friend to me, and we had many great nights together. All I hope is that he has found a more peaceful place than the one he has left behind.
