Skating and Surfing SoCal. Just hanging out with friends. You were one of the coolest guys this Kentucky kid ever knew. Even though we didn't stay in touch after the Corps, we made memories!
Thanks Brother!

My son decided to trade some things and get an acoustic guitar so he could jam with me like Brian And I would do. Of all the smaller acoustics he pitched out one with a G on the pickguard. He did this on Brian's Birthday. I have to say that Brian had a hand in this. He will always be a light in my life. I miss you brother!

He served with me in the comm/nav shop aboard USS Boxer in 97. I had been wondering where and how he was doing and I stumbled upon his rememberance page on FB. He was funny witty and nice and will be missed! God speed Marine!

I have so many wonderful memories of Brian.
He was always welcome to join in on all of our family outings and was a plus to our Lake Powell trips.
Mr. and Mrs. Gum you truly raised a kind,loving and spirited young man. I am proud to say I knew Brian and enjoyed having him around. He left some very deep tracks in our hearts and we will miss him terribly.
