Bryan was also my advisor at Temple U. I actually just found out the news and I'm shocked. He was such a nice person, he was always willing to help me even if I came and saw him twice in one week. His positive attitude always cheered me up. As a transfer student, he guided me very successfully and I really do appreciate him for it. I'll miss coming to his office for help. He really was a sweet and caring guy. My prayers are with the Hessert family and Bryan.

Mr. & Mrs. Hessert,
I am so very sorry and shocked to hear of Bryan's passing. I remember him fondly during PE class at Sterling having him as a junior. He was always upbeat and smiling, a good kid. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this trying times.

Brian was my advisor at Temple University. I remember walking into his office and telling him how warm and inviting his office was. He had the only office that said, "Sit and stay awhile." It had warm lighting, which he said he had done to create a warm atmosphere-effect achieved. I felt so comfortable talking with him, and I knew he cared about me as a student because he took the time to go over the roster I had created, making corrections where needed, in order for me to reach my goal-to graduate. I called this morning to schedule my appointment with him, and that is when I found out about his passing. I was so blessed to have met and experienced his kindness. What a humble young man-I didn't even know was a graduate student.
