Bro... Hola... :) ... it's been a while. But, knowing you .. we would pick up where we left of. I thank God for allowing me to meet you and your family . You will always be my muscle man. I wish I could see your face tomorrow when you see from up above all of your friends and family and the thunder that's going to be heard for your last hurrah. You will be missed, but the love will always remain. See you around. Love Ya Man. Your Puerto Rican Sister.

Brian wow seams to unreal to believe you're in heaven.
I'll miss teasing you (calling you Kevin) and you teasing me back calling me some other girl's name.
You put smiles on a lot of faces. When we think of you we'll be smiling back ??
Rest in peace and enjoy your new life. I know you'll make a great angel.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your loved ones ?

Prot~you were always such a character! Sweet with a bit of sass; but always kind hearted...you're love for life and infectious smile will be deeply missed. I am so thankful we were able to catch up just recently.
I pray the LORD comforts your family and those who love you in the coming days, weeks and years to come; until we see you again.

I went to school with Prot and have known him as long as I can remember. I actually got in a brawl with him in the 7th grade and got in a bit of trouble over it. I saw him again at our 25th class reunion last year and we both joked about it over a beer. He was a fun, caring guy and will be missed. My condolences to the family.

To hear how many lives you touched brings a smile to my face. You are going to be missed by so so many people. You had so much ahead of you, but you are with Mom now. I hope to feel the presence of both of you and someday I will see you agan. "I love you more Bro"

Prot. I don't know where to begin. I can still hear your voice in my head. Our last conversation. You were one of the last genuinely great guys on this planet. I will always consider it my greatest honor in life to have known you for the time I did. You will be missed by all. You've gone on the long ride home and I can only hope to meet up with you again someday. Peace be with you always!

I'll miss that famous cat-that-ate-the-canary grin of his. Could light up a room like nobody else. Had a way of making people feel good about themselves. Great, great guy. Glad I got to chat w/him at the 25-year. Hadn't changed an iota. One of the most real and genuine people you'll ever come across.
You left us too soon, B.
