My thoughts and prayers go out to Linda and the Gumieny Family. Brian was such a wonderful, bright light that burned out too fast. I had such wonderful times with him that I can't believe we have to say goodbye.

Dear Linda,
Tim and I are so sorry for your loss. I don't think we ever met Brian but we know that he must've been quite a wonderful young man to have you in his life. You made the wedding days for both our daughter McKenna and our son, Christopher beautiful lasting memories through your amazing photography. We wish you and your children all our prayers for strength and comfort as you go forward from this tragic loss.
Fondly, The Bryant Family

To Brian's family (Dottie, Sherry, Kurt, and Tami), and to his wife Linda and his children:
I am so sorry to hear about Brian's death. I offer my condolences to all of you. It has been a long time since I have seen Brian, but we dated for several years in high school and college, and Brian was an incredibly important part of my life during that time. I will always remember Brian for his great sense of humor, his sense of style, his charisma, and his warmth as a person. I will never forget all the great times we had in our young and crazy years. I will always have a special place in my heart for Brian.

Linda,
I met you through my daughter Cara Mooney a long time ago, but I remember a lunch at a soup place and I remember how cute little Nevan was then. Such a creative kid.
I'm so sorry for your loss and for the loss for your children. As a young widow with very young children myself many years ago, I empathize with what your struggles will be. I know you're strong and a good mother and that you and the children will get past this. You and your children are in my thoughts. I wish you all the best for the future.

Dear Linda and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your great loss. Brians infectious humor and wild antics will be greatly missed! We still have the fish pen he provided to sign our marriage license! You will be in our prayers that God gives you strength to get through these days! It was so fun to share our new marriages and first pregnancies together. May all those special memories stay in your hearts!

I am so sorry for your loss. Brian was such a bright, spirited, and very talented person. I knew him both in high school and then again through Linda and his photography work. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts are with Linda and his children.

Dear Linda,
I have never met you or your beautiful children, but I grew to know and care for Brian greatly. I came to know Brian in very different circumstances on the other side of the planet. Brian loved you and your children in a way that was remarkable. It was his compass in life, His life was his family. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. My wife Helen and I keep your family in our prayers always. May God bless you with His everlasting peace and may God take his child to his New Life in Glory.

Having known Brian only through Scout meetings and one camping trip, he seemed to have a lot of energy and similar interests to me. I would have liked to have known him better. Certainly will miss him and hope Nevan can cope with this loss.

I was a grade school friend of Brian's and was so saddened to hear this news. He was genuinely a great friend when we attended school together at St. Mary's. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to your family as you try to move forward.

A fun memory I have is from the first time I met Brian. It was at the old studio space way back in the day (1999ish).
My fiance at the time (now wife) Nicole and I were looking for wedding photography and had an appointment set up with Brian and Linda. While sitting and looking through samples in their portfolios I noticed Nicole's and Lida's faces light up red as they started saying and repeating how strangely familiar eachother looked. Well, It turned out to be a very small world...
Days earlier, my wife who is a labor and delivery nurse in Milwaukee had delivered Brian and Linda's first child, Nevan.
I will deeply miss Brian and will never forget all the fun, experiences and dreams of seeing the world and the bond we made as two dads and friends.
