I am extremely sorry for your loss, Brian was a pleasure to coach and get to know. He always was a person that others wanted to be around. I only shared a short period of time with him, however he was a great person and teammate. Again I am sorry for your loss and may he Rest In Peace.

You have my greatest sympathies. I remember Brian as such a good-natured boy. I was his sixth-grade social studies teacher at McHenry Middle School. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My greatest condolences go out to Brian's family, as well as his dearest friends.
Brian was definitely something special. He was so much fun to have conversations with. He was charming, ambitious, smart, funny, but most importantly, he truly cared for others.
I will miss Brian dearly.
Again, my deepest condolences,
Anna Henrikson

Brian was not just my friend but my brother. He made every moment spent with him memorable. One of my favorite memories of Brian was when he made up the nickname Ricky Hernandez from boyz in the hood, and got most people who didn't know me to call me Ricky... his love for friends and family was beyond inspiring. His legacy will never be forgotten, but remembered in all our hearts. No matter what happens in life be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind just like Brian did!
