I just recently learned of Brian's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. Cindy was so happy to reunite with Brian-he always made her smile and laugh. Although their time together was far too short, I'm so grateful he was there for Cindy during her fight with cancer. He was a kind, gentle caretaker. I remember him fondly.

I just learned of Brian's passing today and want to express my sincere condolences to his family.
I don't remember exactly how long ago we met, it just feels like I've known him for a very long time. I can't count the number of strange requests I have brought to Brian with art projects I've worked on, and he was always able to come up with a solution. Just this past Christmas He helped me with a present I was making and came up with the proper material to use and included a small sample piece for me to practice on. Brian was my "Go To" guy!
Brian was a valued member of the community will most certainly be missed by a lot of us!

I first met Brian the day he was born and my, what a tiny little of bundle of joy as he was our first born. He went on to be a big brother to sister Terri and brothers Collin and Tony. All were very close in age as well as being great playmates for each other. We moved several times during his years in school so made many lasting friendships. The best one was during our move to Cannon Falls, MN where he met, and eventually reunited with, Cindy Hanson. They were married in August of 2011. Sadly we lost her in 2014 to cancer.
Brian and I use to get together and play golf, go out to lunch, etc. and those were the times that I have missed since moving to CA. He was always there for us when we needed a helping hand.
I will miss him terribly but know he is now happily reunited with Cindy and all of his family who went before him.
Written with love from his mom,
Marjorie Litman

Sending lots of love and prayers to you, Marge. This makes me sad, other than knowing he's reunited with Cindy. Eleta from Edgcumbe.
