Memories and Condolences
for Brian Wilson

December 10, 2023
In remembering Brian D. Wilson, Jr., I find myself reflecting not just on the loss of a remarkable individual, but also on the profound personal impact he had on my life. Brian was more than just a friend or a peer; he was an inspiration, a catalyst who transformed my own aspirations into reality.
When I first met Brian, his passion for technology and his entrepreneurial spirit were immediately evident. He had already taken the bold step of turning his love for computers into a thriving business with Integrated Network Solutions. Witnessing Brian´s journey from a talented hobbyist to a successful IT professional was nothing short of inspiring. His ability to upgrade and modernize IT systems for local businesses was not just a display of his technical expertise, but also of his vision and determination.
What truly set Brian apart, however, was his innate kindness and selflessness. His interactions were always imbued with a genuine desire to help and uplift others. Spending time with Brian, whether on simple errands, at his home, or working alongside him, was a lesson in humility and altruism. He had a unique way of making everyone around him feel valued and important. His selfless nature was not just an aspect of his personality; it was the essence of who he was.
Brian´s influence on my life was profound and transformative. Seeing him successfully operate a managed IT firm, something I had only considered as a distant possibility, made the dream seem attainable. He demystified the path from hobby to profession, showing me that with hard work, dedication, and a willingness to help others, one could turn a passion into a successful career. Inspired by his example, I took the leap and started my own IT company, turning what was previously an avocation into an occupation.
His sudden passing was a tremendous loss, not only to those who knew him but to the community he served so selflessly. Brian's legacy is not just in the business he built or the projects he completed, but in the lives he touched, including my own. He showed us that success is not just about what you achieve, but how you impact the lives of others along the way.
As I continue in my own professional journey, I carry with me the lessons learned from Brian, his spirit of generosity, his unwavering commitment to his community, and his belief in the power of technology to make a difference. His memory serves as a guiding light, a reminder of the impact one individual can have, not just through their achievements, but through their character and their heart.
Rest in peace, Brian. Your legacy continues to inspire and guide those of us who were fortunate enough to know you. You will always be remembered, not just for what you did, but for who you were and the lives you changed, including mine.

Hi Sweetheart,
Tomorrow is the one year mark since anyone has seen you. I'm glad you called me and pop a few days before. We had a chance to talk about the new part of your life you were heading toward with Sharon. We were so happy for you that day. One year later, and the tears still drop out of our eyes each time we think of you. We miss you ever so much. We still cannot believe this all happened. We will continue to talk to you in our nightly prayers. We still have all of our memories and all our our photo's of you. We live in Texas now. We know you would have been here to visit us.
Love and hugs, forever be in our hearts.

Hey Bri, I was thinking of you today because I'm not feeling too good. My pain is at a high level and you always made me feel good when I've been down. I was reading all the stuff on the LS1GTO site about you and it made me cry. I miss you "Brother", oh and I'm displaying my little memorial in picture board at the Friday night Hooters meet. Many people didn't hear that you have passed on and were very sad to hear the news. They stood and looked at all the pictures and talked about when they met you and how much fun they had with you!! I also display the Trophy your parents awarded me at the 09 CCSU meet in your memory, proudly right in the middle of my engine compartment for all to see. I really miss our talks Brian, and often think of you when I'm down like today. I feel much better that I got to write to you today, as always, thinking about you takes my mind off of my problems. And today is no exception.
Love and miss ya Bro,

Brian,
Yesterday was your sister Meaghan's Wedding Day,(July 4,2009). I know we don't have to tell you how beautiful she looked. I know we don't have to tell you Tom, Linda, Danny and Sharon were there, and that your little sister, Jessica was a bridesmaid.Poppy walked your sister down the aisle dressed in his new white top hat. You were supposed to have been in the wedding also, and we all missed you. We think you were right there with us though, surely in each and every heart of those who love you.
Thinking of you every minute.

I met Brian at tunxis, it has been some time since I met him, he inspired me to start my computer company and I was hoping to reunite with him after I built the company up to all the things he once told me he wanted to do for his. I have now reached that point and after going out to relocate him and get in contact I find he has passed on. It sucks to say the least, one that I am finding out about this a year later and two that from what I am hearing he had a heart attack. That man was awsome, from the semester I got to spend with him he has impacted my life immensely. Without him I likely woulnd not have started Dynamic Network Solutions, a small jump from his Integrated Network Solutions. He was a great individual and as long as I draw a breath his legacy lives on through me and all the other people who he inspired and influenced, I only wish I had more time with him.

I remember when I first met Brian. It was the summer of 1993. My cousins Ken and Dan(Tank) had just come back from Rhode Island and I met Brian and his sisters Meagan and Jess at my Aunt Chris's. I remember that day in vivid detail; we all played Legos and such. The last time I saw Brian I think was the Fall of 2007. Brian you will be dearly missed. May God keep you now and always in his presence. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1-3

To my dear friends Tom and Linda-I cannot even find the words to express how very sorry I am. Brian were so blessed to have you two for parents and I know he is in heaven thanking you for everything and watching over you. I know nothing can ease the pain right now, but draw strength from your family and friends and don't be afraid to ask for help with anything. Love, Maria

My heart goes out to everyone in this time of grief. Brian was such a wonderful person with a big heart and unique personality. Although i didnt know him long I am greatful for the oppertunity to get to know him. I will never forget the first time i met him... he helped me move into my condo with his girlfriend and my good friend Sharon which got him the nickname from me "the strongest person i know". He will be dearly missed.

I am so sad to hear about the passing of a good friend. Brian was so full of life and anyone who knew him knows what I mean. He was like a Brother/Son to me who always was worried about my health and well being. He also was a Member of the G.O.N.E. GTO Car Club among the many other clubs he belonged to. I will cherish the memories I have of Brian and the good times we've spent together. Rest in Peace my friend you will be sadly missed!!
