I'll never forget many years of Skateboarding around Kansas and Missouri with Brian. Everyone benefited from his contagious energy and enthusiasm and I'm blessed to have been his friend.

6 years and it still feels unreal. I think about Brian on a weekly basis. I think its his smile that I think about the most, and the warm energy that would come from him he laughed. He was kind even when other werent. I Reminisce about the good times and regret the bad, but Im grateful to have known Brian and cherish the times I had with him. Love you man

It was always good to see you at all the great metal shows, be it in Tokeka, Lawrence or KC. You were always a good person to talk to about music, and your enthusiasm for everything extreme music related was contagious. You supported local bands more than the actual musicians in said bands, and for that we all owe you a huge debt of gratitude. Thank you for being a constant source of excitement and for documenting everything so fully. I will always watch the videos you posted to your YouTube channel and think of you at every show making everyone around you move.

Dear Don and Debbie~
Such memories flood back to me of little Brian at Wanamaker, on the baseball team, and working with you both up at the school. I pray for your family to bear this grief that is unfortunately a part of life, and to rely on your faith, which is knowing without seeing, that God is taking gentle and loving care of your beloved Brian.

our condolences to you and your family. Brian was a great friend not only to me. But was someone who always brought laughter and joy to my wife and especially my kids. We think everyday about how passionate he was about the things he loved.About his infectious sense of humor. About the great times we shared working, enjoying music, and just hanging out. he loved his parents don and deb a great deal and its tragic a young man with so much potential had to leave us to go to a better place. you will truly be missed mac. thank you for always making Oliver smile.You will never be forgotten bro.
