Brian was a great friend to me while I was living in Alaska back in 2003. I didn't know a single other soul and he really took me under his wing -- we went hiking, horseback riding and road tripping, and he was my pal for restaurants, movies, and even the dance club down the street. Brian had a great laugh and a kind heart and I really regret not reconnecting with him. I’ve thought of him often through the years but wasn't able to find him online. Just a few days ago I found some old photos from Alaska and thought I’d search again — I was so sad to come across his obituary.

I was so sad to hear of Brian's passing. He was an excellent operations agent at Alaska Airlines and I was proud of him when he followed his dreams of becoming an Airline Captain.

He was very kind and always helpful, especially with his frequent IT advice. There were so many things I appreciated about him. His passing is a great loss to all of us.

I'll miss you, old friend..........Phil Morgan

Brian was a great friend of ours for the past 20 years. He was like family to us as he was a part of our wedding, a part of our kids´ lives, a roommate, a great cook, and loved camping and taking road trips with us as a family and with my husband, Cody. He loved all things outdoors, flying, camping, Alaska, essential oils, cooking and much more. He will be missed by all of us. Fly high, Brian!

Will miss you bro.

Brian was a great friend and a brother to me. We knew him for 20 years. He was there for our wedding and every other special occasion that my wife and kids had. We put Christmas trees up every year, which he loved the trains that went around it. To going on many wild and crazy adventures around the country. We climbed mountains together in Alaska, went on trains in Colorado, and even flew airplanes together for Era Airlines. Brian was a great guy who always helped people out. He would put others first before himself. I am very proud of him in that he was a brother to me in which I always look up to. Cherise, Piper, Jett and myself have so much great things to say about Brain including how he was such an amazing cook and how he loved to cook healthy food. So many wonderful and funny memories with Brain that we will cherish forever. We all love you brother and we will never forget you. We will always remember you for all the great things you had brought into everyones lives that had a chance to be apart of yours. To his Parents and family we love you all and are always here for you. You had raised an amazing son with such great standards and morals. We will not Just miss him but he will forever be in our hearts. Love you Brian and we will see you again.
I would like to say from one aviator to another: "Straighten Up and Fly Right Brian" May you always have smooth air under your wings and clear skies ahead.
