While I had not seen Kelly (hard to call him Brian since I knew him at about a week old) I will always remember his sweet nature and how much he loved to eat fideo when he was a little guy. You left too soon Kelly. Will love you always.

I worked with Brian at Cigna many years ago, but we never lost touch, even when our careers took different paths. When we catch up on the phone, we didn't miss a beat, even if it had been a year since we last spoke. Brian was just like that, and I always expected him to be there for our next chat. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My heart aches for the family. He will be missed so much!

I speak for many when I say that Brian has left a huge void in our lives. He was a very special man; full of love for his family and friends. His mighty stature filled the room, his laugh contagious and the twinkle in his eyes blinding. A lively spirit with a warm heart who's light in this world has been extinguished far too soon.

Jennifer Ketner

February 24, 2015

I worked for Brian 10 years ago and we traveled the North Carolina mountains together, while working for Cigna. He was so much fun to be around, it never seemed like work. He was easy going and such a patient and wonderful teacher. I have missed him over the past couple of years and am saddened to know that my need for "catching up with him" will never be fulfilled. My heart goes out to his family. He spoke of them often and he always seemed to be "close to home" no matter where he was physically.

Brian was and is a wonderful person. My heart aches for the loss of him in this world, but I know I'll see him in the next. My heart aches for his family, and there is little that can be said to ease their sorrow now - but please know that he was loved, and you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will always be thankful for the gift of many happy years we spent together.
