I reconnected with Brian after our 40th high school reunion. He invited a group of us to his home, served us a lovely breakfast, and showed us wonderful hospitality. It was a lovely time and I remember how gracious and generous Brian was.

Dr. Silverlieb was the best vet ever! He took care of our 2 JRT's, Sparky and Bea, since 1996. He always reminded me of the Dog Whisperer with his uncanny ability to connect with the animals and form a bond. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and staff during this difficult time. Dr. Silverlieb was a good man who made a positive difference in the lives of so many. You can't do better than that!

Dr.Silverlieb, You took such wonderful care of our lttle Gracie. She was always afraid to go to the vet but loved to see you. God bless you and your family.
You could see Brian's love for animals in the way he would talk to the pets in his care. He was very special person and will be missed. God Bless!!!

My deepest condolences go out to Brian's friends and family. I first met Brian about 40 years ago and was only recently back in touch with him. I shall remember him for his intelligence, compassion and quick wit.
I was thrilled to hear about his son,Darryl, whom he spoke of with the utmost pride and love. My heart goes out especially to Darryl at this most difficult of times. Know that your Dad will not be forgotten, but rather lives on in the heart of every person or animal whose life he has ever touched. You will know he's there every time you hear a cat purr, see a dog wag it's tail or view a horse grazing in a field of grass.God bless!

Our condolences to Brian's family. We have known him since 1977 when we brough our first pet to his practice - our dog Teddy. Subsequently, we brought our 3 cats (Crystal, Cindy, and Spaz) and he treated them with such gentleness, kindness, and love. He was such a comfort when we had to put all of them down(with the exception of Spaz whom we still have). We just recently learned of his passing and are deeply saddened. He will be missed very, very much.

To Dr. Silverlieb's family. I met Brian in 1985 when I purchased a 2 year old TB filly that he had rescued from starvation. I owned that sweet gentle mare for the rest of her life - 20 years. I thought of Brian and his incredible kindness many times over the years. Because he gave that little filly a chance, she was able to go on and live a wonderful life. My prayers go out to you, he will not be forgotten.

Brian was a high school classmate. We reconnected at the 40th reunion of DHS in 2005. He invited our little group to his home on Sunday morning, and made us breakfast. We all had a wonderful talk, and I was struck with his generosity of mind and spirit. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I know he was devoted to his son, and to his practice. Just a kind, beautiful man.

I was so saddened to hear the news. I've known Brian since he opened his practice. He always took wonderful care of my pets and never hesitated to assist me with my wild rehab animals when necessary. I've always considered him a close, personal friend. His sincere compassion for all living creatures had no bounds. I also loved the time I worked with him and miss those days at the practice. He was a very special person to me and I will never forget his friendly smile and kind, reassuring words. I will miss him forever and pray for his family in these difficult times.

To Dr. Silverlieb's family and friends, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although we started going to Mt. Pleasant Hospital a short while ago and have not had the pleasure to meet Brian personally, we know many people who have known him well and expressed how extraordinarily he lived his life. I'm sure he was received by the Good Lord with a Huge Hug and a "Well Done My Son!"
Blessings to all. Tammy and Sara Hazen

To Darryl and the rest of Brian's Family
I am very sorry to hear the news. Brian was a great person who always made me feel welcomed. I will remember his sense of humor and desire to live. He was an excellent role model and will be missed very much. If there is anything I can do, do not hesitate to ask.

To Brian's family - Brian was our many beloved pets caregiver (and my friend) for almost 30 years. His love of our animals, his many medical miracles, his compassion...during many happy, and some very tearful times... will never be forgotten. My heart aches at his loss. How lucky we all were to have shared a moment in time with such an extraordinary man who fought so courageously and gave so much to all.
I'm sorry we can't be there to extend a more personal farewell. May God bless Brian, and God bless your family.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Brian - Not only have you been my vet but a good friend for almost 30 years. You are so special. You always, always took the time to care, made those hard phone calls when the news wasn't good and you always showed so much compassion and offered assistance in any shape or form. We would always chat before our visits about days gone by and the love we had for our horses. Then we would catch up on what was going on in our lives now. I am so glad I saw you months back and got a big hug from a good friend. We will miss you Brian but I know we will see you someday at the gate of "Rainbow Bridge" - God Bless You, Darryl and Your Family.

Dr. Silverlieb was such a kind man. When my daughter was little, we brought her first pet, a guinea pig to him when she became ill. He called a week later to check on her, although sadly, she had passed. He then sent my daughter a basket of flowers. He was so devoted to the animals and so thoughtful to the pet owners. He really will be missed!

Dr. Silverlieb was so kind and patient. One day, when I brought my puppy in with a cough, he sat on the floor after examining him and played with him for a good while, trying to hear the cough. He was so wonderful and I felt like he really loved my puppy. He helped me alot in those first few months and he will be greatly missed.

I was so upset upon learning of the passing of Dr. Silverlieb. He was an extraordinary veterinarian who knew just how to make our pets comfortable in an anxious situation.He will be sorely missed in our community.

When I was a new puppy parent, Dr. Silverlieb was so kind and generous in educating me about my dog. When I brought Sonic in one day with a cough, Dr. Silverlieb examined him, then sat on the floor and played with him until he could hear the cough. I was moved by his patience and love of animals. I will miss him very much, and will always be grateful for the care he provided us.

You were the best vet in the world! You were such gift to all of our pets and our family. You loved your work and all of our four legged family members. You treated them as though they were part of your family.
You will be so missed. Thank you for the exceptional care and compassion you provided to my Mom's beloved dog Rod, and our childhood pets, Heidi and Max.
With gratitude,
