Brian was always such a light and getting my hair done by him was always fun. My favorite memory was him telling me how excited that he was to be able to legally marry the love of his life, Keith. He had tears in his eyes telling me that he never imagined being able to marry the man who he loved so very much. We sat and cried tears of joy together. I am sending love and prayers to Keith and all of his loved ones.

I extend my heart-felt sympathy to Keith, family and all those close to Brian. I had not known Brian too long, but I knew at our first encounter by the sparkle in his eyes and the warmth in his greeting that he would be my friend. I will miss him but I know he is in Heaven with other Angels - although he has left us all too soon.
