To my dearest friend Trina and family,
Trina, I'm so very sorry to hear about the lost of your husband. I fell to my knees when I first heard the news, I just couldn't believe this happened to my girl. But know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE LORD, whatever the devil meant for evil GOD will turn it around for good, believe that, JESUS will shed light on the situation. I didn't know Brian very well, but I believe he was a LOVED person. I Love you and them kids, whenever your ready I'm here. My prayers are with you and Brian's family.
Love Always,
MeMe

Mrs Ann, Kevin, Greg, Wife, Children, friends and family
My prayers are with all of you. As difficult as it may be to believe, Our Father, called for Brian. Brian has done such great work on Earth. Our Father in Heaven decided that it was time for Brian to rest peacefully. Brian has not left you, when the sun shines soo brightly and beautiful, know that it's Brian smiling down on you. When the rain falls, know that Brians' love is being pourn down upon you. Whatever the seasons bring, know that Brian is still with you. Let me remind you of GODs' promise to never leave you nor forsake you. GOD didn't forsake you, he wants you to be the loving, caring, kindhearted person that Brian was, regardless of the situation. As you wonder how this could happen as you continue to hurt from last year, remember that you will all be reunited someday and the hurt will be erased. I love all of you, and may GOD's love keep you strong.

To The Family,
When I heard the news of Brian's death, if was unbelievable. Not Brian I said, not the one that I always seen in from of Ammons talking with all the Young men that he coached. Not Brian the one that always sat in the balcony at church or operate the camera when my husband asked. And definitely not the Brian that my family (The Bryants) grow up with.
To this day I still can believe it!
I just want to give my heartfelt and sincere condolences to you all; Trina & the kids, Brian's mom and all his brothers and relatives.
Even though Brian was taken from this world to early, I hope that you all will have comfort in knowing that He is in God's hands.
I love you all and may God continue to confort and Bless you, now and forever.
Sincerely,
Donna & Michael Rivers & Family

To the Young Family:
I am deeply sorry for your lost. Brian was a good friend and great mentor to so many youth in the Hill District community. I have been involved with youth for the past 20 or more years, I personnelly know the difference Brain made in so many of the lives of the youth in and around the Hill District. I have had many opportunities to talk with Brian about a number of different subject. Mostly regarding his family, his job at the Ammon Recreation Center and his interest in becoming a certified basketball official, I am proud to say that Brian was one of the first people to participate in my program called "officials in training" for those who had an interest in working with young people around officiating the sport of basketball. Brain was very good at officiating and it came natural to him, he was well on his way to becoming a top notch official. But more importantly he was a great husband and father. I was proud to have known Brain.
Sincerely,

My deepest condolences to the family of Brian Young. To a friend whom I have known throughtout my entire life, especially over these last six months. As I sit here and contemplate/meditate about how life is always taken from the good guys, the only answer is to stay strong hoping that through perseverance and steadfastness, goodness will prevail. This has hit me as thought he were my brother. Hopefully, he has found peace. Your friend always, Tony Horne

I express my sincere condolences to the family & Brian's wife and children. I only knew Brian for a few yrs. but he was always such a nice person. No matter when I would talk to Brian or see him. I always wanted him to call me by my first name. But knowing Brian he always called me Mrs. Muto! He had respect for everyone and was very well liked. He will trully be missed but he is at piece now. My prayers go out to the family at this time. May Jesus give you all the love and piece to comfort all of you at this time of loss. May you always remember all his good memories and keep him in your heart always. He's not here physically but you can always take him with you in your hearts from day today!Brian will always be remembered and my family have many good memories with Brian at Ace-A-Matic-ReCon!
I pray Jesus heals your hearts at this time in the loss of your loved one!

Lord, although Brian has recieved the ultimate healing and is doing well, I raise before you his family.
I ask that you give them the courage to face the days ahead, give
them the fellowship of friends and family, give the peace of the evening to get the much needed rest that is required from such a stressful situation. I ask that you
give us all the compassion to be there for
Brians family when they need to lean on us. I ask that you keep in thier minds that you are here to carry their burdens, we all have the cross as a place to lay the load that is sometimes too much for us to carry.
We thank you for the gift of emotions that you have given us.
The joy the sorrow the despair and the happy times too. We will truly
miss the physical presnce of Brian
but we will never be deprived of his
memories. We will always have those
to cherish. In your most awesome
and Holy name. AMEN
