I remember sitting with Brian on the lake shore as we were serving together. We were talking about life and he had mentioned wanting to be more involved with an organization like Student Life because he saw it making such a big impact. I was more than ecstatic about that because he is exactly the kind of person we would want to jump in with what our ministry is doing. It was a pretty neat conversation

Brian was a bright and passionate team member. Brian always had a smile on his face and really loved being a part of the One1T team.
We all remember Brian as someone who was positive, patient, and had an interest in learning.

Prayers and a heavy heart go out to Brian's family. What a fantastic young man he was. I remember the many campouts we went on with the Troop and he always had a smile on his face that was infectious. He is truly a gift taken too soon from everyone. God Bless.
