Keenan Family,
I wanted to share my deepest condolences. Brian was a kind soul and would regularly stop in my office to talk Cowboys or other things on his mind. I will miss those talks and keep him in my thoughts and my prayers.
-God Bless

I first met Brian 21 years ago when I started at Labcorp. He always took the time to chat, tell a story and conclude with a joke. He had a good rapport with people and always made you laugh. My deepest sympathy to the entire family. May his memory be a blessing and may Brian be bound in the book of life.

You were at the center of my life for the past 10 years. Thank you for all the love you gave me.... I know that you are standing beside me and we will meet again someday. I will love you for all of eternity. YOU WERE THE NICEST PERSON I EVER MET. I found the text messages the other day that said you were sure someday we would be married.. All I can say is wait for me my "Mr Blue Eyes" and we will stand together again when we meet... I love you with my whole heart Brian. -forever your "Hunny Bunny"

I went to high school with Brian, in the past few years I would run into him in Medical offices or the local store . I always enjoyed stopping and talking to him about life. If it was about the Cowboys or what rock bands were coming into the area. Such a kind soul taken from us way too young.

To Brian's Family & Friends,
I knew Brian from watching the Cowboys together and he was such a nice guy! I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. And for all the Cowboy and Giant fans that knew him, I'd like to shout out "FUMBLE"! :) He said that many times throughout the games (even though no one really fumbled). He will be missed. God Bless You All
