Mr. Cordle was my band instructor in middle and High school. He was always very kind and passionate. I liked how much he got into it, and I remember him tapping on his music stand. He will be missed, so sorry for his family.

Brian was my favorite Tech at the BOE. My husband worked out with him when they both had heart rehab. He was funny smart and sweet. Will be missed forever. Peace be with him and the family.

I knew Brian from high school and Marshall days. We were in several musical groups. He was an awesome musician, performing on several instruments as vocal groups. Rest In Peace

Brian was a co- worker of mine for many years. A multi- talented individual who was such a positive influence on his students. RIP my friend, you will be missed.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Brian at Cabell County Schools. He was always pleasant and eager to assist staff members.

My deepest condolences to Marieanna and all of the family as you grieve the loss of this man who touched so many young lives. He was so much more than a band director for my six years in junior and high school (1975-81). He was a father figure, a mentor, and a friend. I was so fortunate to have seen him while visiting WV this summer!

So sorry to hear of the loss of Brian. He was such a wonderful gentleman- quite the computer knowledge as well as an excellent musician. Thoughts and prayers for this family.
