What a wonderful young man. I cant even imagine your pain in your loss. Please know we will pray for you on this anniversary. I read a poem lately that said something like; as you grieve, remember that had he not lived, you would never have had all the awesome memories that his life here on earth with you created Much love to you And your family and friends. Pam and Jim Roberts.

Your family is in my thoughts & prayers. I went to school with Brian & although I didn't know him very well, he seemed like a great guy! My older brother has Cystic Fibrosis & I hope they find a cure for this awful disease soon, so nobody else has to go through what Brian & so many others go through. Rest in peace, Brian.

I am very sad to hear Brian has passed. I have many fond childhood memories of playing floor hockey and basketball with Brian. He was always fun to be around, nothing ever bothered him, and he knew how to brighten everyone's day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. You'll be missed B McD.

Jeff, Colleen and Melissa,
I am so sorry. I take comfort in the fact that Brian did not let his disease stop him from living his life to the fullest. I enojoyed watching him play soccer and how excited he would get watching Chris play hockey. He always had a smile on his face and he was truly a nice young man.
May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
