Brian - it's been five years and you have been sorely missed. I saw someone who looked like you today and with this 5th anniversary, it was a very sad moment.

Kristen, your smart and handsome son Aaron and your beautiful daughters, your sister and perhaps others visited your grave this afternoon to spend time thinking about you. Kristen is having a difficult time this year. Jon's been over fixing computers the last few weeks and helping in the way he knows best.
Me, I'm working, traveling and studying. You would have understood.

I just wanted to say to the Sullivan family that I am sorry for your loss. I know it has been a little over 2 yrs and it is a shame that such a young man's life has been taken away because of somebody else's poor judgement and irresponsibility. From what I have read, you are a strong family and will get through this. It will be tough to do but remeber that Brian will always be with you no matter where you are. He will be looking down on you and your children and make sure you are all safe.

To the family of Brian Sullivan,

About 8 months ago I became friends with Brian through a mutual friend who introduced me to his six mountain biking buddies. I was a "regular" from that day forward not only because of my love of mountain biking and the beautiful outdoors but because I really enjoy this bunch of guys. We are all very much alike - young families, busy careers, etc. and with every ride we get to know each other a little better. Brian spoke often of his wife and kids and what they were up to. He was very proud of his family and it was obvious that he was a great dad and loved to spend time with his kids. On the trail Brian was great to ride with…he was the best climber in the group and always pushed us. His layed back humor and quick wit always made it fun to have him with us.

This tragic event has ripped a piece of our heart out as a group. When we heard of the accident Saturday evening, we decided to go on a tribute ride Sunday morning because we didn’t know what else to do…we needed each others company. We attended the wake, the funeral and, although none of us know any of you, it is clear to us that this is a strong family and there is a ton of love and support to help you through this difficult time. For our riding group, the rides will never be the same without our friend "Sully". We will never forget him and the good times we had with him. His spirit will be with us on every ride as our healing continues.

Our thoughts are with you all...

Kevin, Dave, Drew, Dan, Mark and Russ

Kristin and Family:

I am so deeply saddened by your tragic loss. I used to go skiing with your husband and his brother, Bruce in high school. Brian and I were in the same class, and frequently in the same homeroom. I remember him as being a sincere, honest and giving person, which I'm sure has been instilled in your children. May God wrap his loving arms around you all.

Chris (Robinson) Carter and family.

Kristin,

It is just so hard to comprehend what you must be going through. Grant and I are so sorry to hear about the terrible accident. Today is a really sad day for me, as it is the first year anniversary of my mom's death. No one can compare the death of an 84 year old woman(my mom) to the loss of a young man and husband, but it hurts so much for all of us and takes so much time to live with the hurt and tears.

Much love and prayers to you and your children to help get you through all of this.

Love, Judy and Grant Baston

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,

In the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer,

In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,

In the beginning of the year and when it ends,

When we are weary and in need of strength,

When we are lost and sick at heart,

When we have joys we yearn to share,

For as long as we live, they too shall live,

For they are now a part of us,

And we remember them.

To the Sullivan Family,

We are so sorry for your loss.

May time and the support of loved ones comfort and heal you.

The Fisher Family
