Tammy,
I knew Brian since the mid 1980's when I drove down from Ashland and he showed me how to change shafts in my clubs for the first time. We hit if off immediately. He was a fantastic person, always with an easy smile and way about him. I live a short way from your home on Pinecrest Way and will miss doing something as simple as tooting my horn at him, waving at each other, when he was out in the yard trimming shrubs. He was a great guy and I will truly miss him. You and yours are in my prayers.

We have lost a good friend and co-worker with the passing of Brian. Brian was the best and most skilled club specialist in this part of the state. The golfers in central Kentucky will miss him greatly. His easy manner, smile and gentle disposition will leave a void in our lives.

Brian came into our lives during our ownership of Pro Golf and faithfully worked for us for many years. He helped us build a loyal following among Lexington golfers.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Tammy, Brittany and his entire family.

It is a shame for such a wonderfully kind and gentle person to be taken home away from everyone so young. Maybe they are short of special hugs and bright smiles in Heaven.
BR and I dated in the early 80's and he always knew how to have fun. He knew how to give great hugs even then. We had wonderful beach vacations together and even watched a shuttle launch while in Cocoa Beach one year.
I'm glad to have run into him earlier this year and was able to see what a wonderful family he has and to see how happy he was. Another friend had recently passed and we talked about the uncertainties of fate.
We can be certain that Brian walks in Heaven and will be ever watchful over his family.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
