While in Afghanistan, Brian and I worked together and I never felt I was at work. He always greeted me with a hug - I miss those.
To Brians family, thinking of all of you as you remember him - his soul remains with all of you and his memory always.

I had the pleasure of working with Brian for 6 months in KAF. He was always a good fiend and did many things to make people feel special. A great guy gone way too soon.

It was indeed a pleasure to have known Brian. I met him in Kandahar. And I could tell right away that he was a man of great integrity and had a great sense of humor. I would like to send Brians family and friends my deepest and most heart felt condolences. It is no doubt that he will live on in everyones memory that had the pleasure of knowing him.
