I didnt know Brian very well. I saw him at Aunt Judy and Uncle Dan's for Christmas and maybe once in between. He and my dad (Curt Shryack) were close and he will miss him very much as well as the rest of the family. May God bless you Brian.

I am so sorry, I can't believe this Brian was a great guy and I looked up to him for raising his son on his own there are not to many dads that would do that. Brian and I had a lot in common we loved are kids more than anything, and we both knew hard it was to be single parents. Thats all Brian would talk about was Travis and how proud he was of him. He loved Travis being in football. Brian gave me all of Travis's books for Cameron 4 years ago, and Cameron still treasures them. He said he wanted to give them to someone who would make good use of them boy have we. I gave Brian rides home all the time and we'd have long talks about the struggles of parenthood, but he also said in the same breath he would'nt take it back for the whole world. I will miss Brian very much and my heart goes out to all of you.
