John, Brad & family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was taken back when my mom told me about Brian's sudden passing. I can remember as kids acting out strategic military scenarios (full physical combat I remind you) with Brian and Brad like it was yesterday. There were never any restrictions on the use of makeshift weaponry, albeit there probably should've been. They always had a size advantage on me, so you can imagine how that turned out, Me = Loser. And I'll never forget those pet guinea pigs crying throughout the night during sleepovers. There was nothing quite like that sound to lull one to sleep. Those were some good times. My thoughts, prayers and love go out you and your families. I know Brian will be missed dearly but his memory will live on with those lucky enough to have known him.
