No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. I love you, Brian. Please help us to be strong during this difficult time. You'll always be my baby brother and I'll never forget you. Three B's for life!

What a handsome picture, of a young man gone too soon. Words just can't express the sad feelings, within our own family. Brian's soul has been set free, and his spirit lives on. He will forever be in your hearts. God Bless You All...

I met Brian on my first day of 5th grade when I moved to Armada. He was my best friend since that day. I have countless memories of him, and he showed me what a true friend is. He was always there when my life changed. Switching schools, and then moving nearly 100 miles away, when everyone else disappeared. Since we grew apart, I havent seen Brian in about 10 years, and even though I thought about him often, I regret not getting in touch with him. I feel blessed to have been able to spend all those fun teenage years with him, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Praying for the Shiemke family. R.I.P Brian.

I will never forget all of the fun times at Larry and Jim's apartment. And all the times you guys kept Melissa and I awake when we weren't hanging out with you guys because you liked to stomp on the floor (our ceiling.) :D I'll never forget your big hair, and your loudness, and how much fun you were. The first time I ever watched the jagerbombs and hair cut video was because of you and Larry. Every time I see it I will think of you. I am so glad I got to meet you and my thoughts and prayers are with your family, your girlfriend, and your daughter during this time. Keep watching over them all, as I know you will.
