Brian was one of the kindest, most creative people I've ever met. Hearing him play his guitar and sing was always the highlight of my day during a rough time. In fact, his version of Lightning Crashes is way better than the original. Regardless of what he had going on in his life, he was always one of the first to lend a hand to someone in need. He was a person who could make you smile and laugh so hard it hurt, no matter what kind of mood you were in. He was truly unmatched in his wit and charisma. He will always be remembered. Love you, buddy.

My deepest condolences go out to the Jacobs family. I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm sorry that I can't be there in person to mourn the loss of my friend. I have nothing but the fondest memories of Brian and your family. Brian had the biggest heart... Just yesterday I told the story of how Brian was more upset than me after he accidentally knocked my teeth out playing baseball. I'll alway cherish our time together playing baseball, watching WWF or just hanging at the pool with his brothers. I hope you find peace in knowing that he is in a better place now probably thinking of new ways to make us laugh like he always did.

From your smile to your talented voice leave us here with no choice.
But to remember all the good times we had together and cherish those moments because they dont last forever.
Now you moved on to a better place, where you can play your music for the angels to embrace.
We will remember you always as we look to the sky, knowing your happy and rocking out with the big guy!
We love you Brian and may you rest in peace

Goodbyes are not forever, Goodbyes are not the end, They simply mean until we meet again!
You have always been a shining light in my life for 34 years, and not a day will pass without your memory. You were one of the best parts of our family and a loss that will always be felt. I have always been and always will be your biggest fan. Hug Grandpa for me. I LOVE YOU more than words can say!

Today the world is a little colder, a little more gray, a little less magical without Brian in it. We will carry with us the memories of joyful moments, beautiful music, mischievous smiles, and even the deep searching conversations, keeping our time with Brian always fresh and evergreen. Sending love and prayers for peace to Dina, Tom, and all of Brian's family ~ which is greater in number than he even knew.

By remembering all the fun we had together puts a smile on my face and keeps happiness in my heart. As we grew up even if we didn't get a chance to see each other a lot or speak often those memories are what always kept us in touch.
You always knew exactly how to make everyone in the room laugh and were one of the most talented people I knew.
Until we meet again, Love and Miss you Brian

Brian always knew how to make everyone laugh with either a joke or straight sarcasm. I know we never had a chance to be super close but I enjoyed the time I did spend with you and will never forget the laughs and memories made with you at grams. You will be missed so much by so many.

Love is a bond that death cannot part, your gone from our arms but forever held in our hearts.
We have memories that will last a life time, I just wish we still had you here instead!
Remembering you always ❤ Keep doing what you love and sing for all you hear, someday we'll all be together to hear it again! Love you so much and miss you even more!
