Brian was a great friend in college and after. I'm so sorry that we eventually lost touch and to hear of his passing. Please know that I'm thinking of you and missing him.

I am sad to learn of Brian's passing, and pray that his family may be comforted. I ran AAU summer track with Brian for a year or two a long time ago, and was impressed not only with his athletic talent but also his upbeat spirit and great sense of humor. We met again a few times after his injury, and his spirit and humor were still in evidence. The world needs more people like Brian.

A very caring brother with quite a sense of humor! At Ingles House, the wheel chair speed limit is 7mi/hr. How many tickets did Brian get Byrin? Just one of the fond memories. Rest in peace!
