Bryan was not only a dear friend but also a very talented professional partner and mentor to me for many years. Our busy schedules kept us from saying in touch over the past few years...I will miss him greatly and will miss that lunch he and I kept talking about having but never found the time to set up. Sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

It takes my breath away to know that my Cousin Bryan is no longer with us. I can picture him giving me a hug at each of the last funerals and weddings with a hi Kit!

Cathy, my prayers are with you, Grace, Clare and all of Bryan's dear family during this time. Bryan and I traveled numerous miles and enjoyed lots of meals together with our work and I enjoyed the time spent with your wonderful husband and with having the privilege of calling him friend. I'd come home from these travels and share our discussions with my wife and she felt that she knew Bryan and his family from how we'd shared. Bryan was glad to change jobs and be at home with his family each night and I believe that this is how the Lord prepares us for unknown changes. I'll miss talking to my good friend and colleague and we are here for you and your family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Bryan both professionally and personally with the lines often blurred. He was a true professional to work with, always contributing and providing the right sense of balance in guiding the quality part of the business. Outside of work, he was considerate, had a wonderful sense of humor, and was the type of person you always enjoyed being around.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bryan's family. Bryan and I were peers for 7 years while working for The Shaw Group....as we navigated the corporate landscape together we developed a friendship few are lucky to experience in a work setting. He truly was a remarkable man whose intelligence, work ethic, and dedication was second to none. I'm sure God has a pretty good quality control program in place but knowing Bryan, he will be there to help if called upon. Rest peacefully my friend.
Pebbles, Erik and family.

I am so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to Catherine, Grace, Clare, and Mr & Mrs Koehler. Bryan and I were nearly inseparable for about 10 years starting when his family moved to Fairview. With just 1 house between his and mine we grew up together goofing around in the summer, walking to school, playing football, eating Mrs K's pancakes with blueberry syrup (the best), watching SNL, lifting weights, shoveling snow, breaking the neighbors picture window, … Together we went from boys to teenagers to men; looking back I realize how much he helped me through that process.
November 25, 2013
Dear Cathy, Grace, Claire and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad and difficult time. Bryan was a kind and warm-hearted person with a wonderful smile. We will remember him fondly. Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. Sincerely, Peter, Katie, Cray & Madeline Taylor

I'm very sorry to hear of Bryan's sudden passing. I knew him as the very personable manager of Argonne's quality assurance program and was impressed by his commitment to effecting improvements in the program. Rather than admonishments, he offered support. Although he was here only a short time, he will be missed and I will miss him.
The thoughts of others disclose that he was the same sort of person away from work. I pray that his family and friends find some measure of peace knowing how well liked and admired he was by those with whom he worked.
