The Jeske Family was truly saddened to hear of Brian's untimely death. Being neighbors in the '70's & '80's, we saw Brian and Susan almost daily. He was a wonderful boy and after the Johnson Family move to Idaho, we knew Brian would be successful in whatever he did. Art, Cathy, Susan and wife Dena and families, our heartfelt sympathy go out to each of you. Sincerely,
Bob, Denise, Justin and Cicely
