Brian, I miss you so much. I remember staying up all night on the phone with you. You driving somewhere and calling me when you were confused and needed advice or were just going crazy about something. I remember you making a silly AIM screen name that was an inside joke between us, and I'll never forget the sound of your voice and "I ain't never scurred" impersonation that I would always make you do over and over. I miss you so much Brian, and I hope that you're happy. I love you.

Brian you were such a nice kid and a great brother and son to your sister mother and father and brother. You grew up just a few houses down from me and I witnessed you grow into a great young person. The turn out at your memorial service was amazing full of love and support of many people that you have touched with your kindness, throughout the years of your young life. Rest in peace Brian.

Brian is always in our heart and deeply missed... i'll never forget how much of shock it was too hear the news... it was either that night or the night after he visited me in my dream.. he told me he was in a better place and to not worry bout him cuz he is ok now and in no more pain... he also wanted me to let his mom and sister know this... i did... and that dream has helped me... but it is still very sad... but i agree god couldnt have picked a better person to become one of his angels... a guardian angel for many of us...

Dear Brian Craig Hall,

The grandboys(Thomas and Michael, Carrie's boys) and I went for our usual walk and of course Thomas wanted to go by and see your name on the murdered children's memorial in North Riverside Park so I took them. It is amazing since he was so young when you were taken from us. We still think of you and love you. I spoke with your mother and they have a farm in Oklahoma now. love from Mike, Thomas, and Michael.

I miss you.
More than anything.
I miss our late night conversations.
I miss skating with you.
I miss you being silly.
I just miss you, period.
I didn't think it'd be this hard, but it is.

Terry and Hay Family,

Terry, you did a wonderful raising Brian since he was two. You are a big credit to the fine young man he turned out to be. Your love for music and history was something dear to Brian. Remember the concerts and music that you both shared. Keep close the time you were able to spend with him a couple of days before he died as well as the time these past three years you spent together at your house. He was proud to be your son as much as you were proud to be his dad.

Brian and I had several classes together at East. I remember when we were sophomores in English class, we had a group project, and without Brian's knowledge for mechanics and construction, we would not have been able to earn an A. Brian, I know you were excited about your senior year and graduation. I will remember and pray for you as I wish you were able to walk across the stage with us. We miss and love you so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Mrs. Hay, Hannah, and Brian's other family and friends. Thank you for letting my know you Brian.

The entire QuikTrip family feels a great sense of loss with the death of Brian. Most of our QT family never had a chance to meet him, but know that we are all touched by his life. From the kind words that have been said, it is apparent that your son was truly one of a kind. Brian will be greatly missed. May God bless you and cover your family with his peace and comfort.

Sheryl Wilson

Brian was one of a kind. Brian visisted my family many times with my brother Mike. You see, I am Mikes sister, "Aunt Sheryl". Brian brought great joy to our family. He is and will always be a gift from God. He touched everyone he came in contact with. My husband, Lanny, my children and grandchildren have nothing but good memories of Brian. I pray for his mother, sister and also for my brother Mike to see thru the pain and someday we can all sit down and talk about Brian together. I loved Brian as one of my own.

I just wanted you to know that there is a city here of people in Wichita and Park city, that felt your lost and cried with you and are praying for your family.I just wanted you to know that you are not alone. May your son rest in peace. I will keep you in my prayers. May you find comfort in remembering the love and memories of your beloved son. God bless the Hall family. Sincerely Rosa Sullivan and Family.

March 23, 2006

Praise God, Creator of all things. During these sad times it can be difficult to remember to give your burdens and sadness to The Lord. He will heal you if you let Him.

Brian and I had English together at East this year. He was an amazing and touching person. He will be missed dearly by all who knew him and those who didn't. He was a great guy, his mother should be very proud that she raised such a wonderful young man.

Ken Woodard

March 17, 2006

I did not know you,

Yet, you spoke to me.



You were not born of me,

Yet, you are my son.

A young man whose life was tragically cut so short.



The loss has placed a ache in my heart. I have lost a son, a young man whose life was so full promise.

We can only wonder what kind of man you would have become.



Our lives are changed forever through no fault of yours. I hope this change is one of faith, compassion and understanding that this world, no matter how bad, how cruel it may seem, will become better because of you.



May the good Lord take you, wrap his arms around you, make a place for you a his table. For your work here is done. Eternal comfort is now yours forever!

When I heard the news that a QT clerk had been shot it deeply saddened me. I met Brian once or twice stopping in to QT before going to the hospital to see my mom. As a former member of the QT family it is hard to imagine a tradgy like this happening. I could never imagine loosing my son. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends along with the QT family, I know this will be hard for all of you to get through. May the lord be with you all.

Jim Trinkle

Judy and Hannah, I heard about the incident from some co-workers but did not know it was Brian until about two hours before the funeral. I will try to make it. Where would I be without Brian to pull me from my burning house, saving my life? All the years that I have known Brian, he was the most caring and beautiful human being that I could imagine ever meeting. Just know that he was loved and those of us who know him will always have a place in our heart espically for him. Thank you Brian for being my HERO!

A Friend of Terry Hay

March 17, 2006

I would like to send my condolences to the Hay family. Terry Hay is Brian's step-father. Brian spent most of his life knowing Terry as his father. Although Mr. Hay is no longer married to Brian's mother, I know he loved Brian very much, as his own son. Terry, may God be with you and your family at this time of need. Be Strong.
