Dear Robin and Nathan,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and father. I came to know Brien via a referral for his plumbing expertise. He completed many jobs for us in the last few years. Brien always had a pleasant and kind way of carrying out his work. His work ethic and the quality of his work were outstanding.
Brien was clearly an exceptional man. We will be keeping Brien and your entire family in our prayers.
Sending sincerest condolences.

Dear Dickson family,
We were saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Brien. We have been longtime customers of Drain Brains for our two homes in Westerville. Brien approached his job with enthusiasm willing to do more than what the work required. No job is too small or too big for Brien. He always displayed a pleasant disposition when fixing even the toughest plumbing situations. Brien will be remembered as a friendly, helpful, reliable, and a caring individual who delighted his customers with his presence in their homes.
Please accept our deepest condolences.
From a grateful customer family,
Vivian, Rodney, and Alexis Tucay

Robin and Nathan,
Words cannot describe the loss of this tremendous man. His love for you both shined through in everything he did. Any time he mentioned Robin, his eyes sparkled, and Nathan, he was so proud of your many accomplishments. We were the fortunate ones to have him touch our lives. I pray for comfort for you and the family.

My deepest sympathy for your loss of Brien. May the God of all comfort sustain you now and in the days ahead. May God also grant you a measure of peace.

My husband John and I last saw Brien in January when he came to our home. Over the past several years Brien helped us with problems big and small. He was there in a pinch, sometimes free of charge, always with a kind smile and happy demeanor. We enjoyed spending time talking to Brien after he would finish up solving our latest issue. We'd hang out and chat about family. He was a very proud father and a good family man. May he rest in peace. Loving prayers to those he leaves behind. He will be missed.
