My heart is deeply saddened by the passing of my Uncle Brian. He was one of a kind. He set an amazing example of love, faith, honesty and integrity. He deeply loved his whole family especially his wife and girls whom he was fiercely protective of and devoted to. He had the most amazing sense of humor and was awesome at making people laugh.He definitely leaves a big hole in our hearts but with Faith we know we will see him again one day. Rest in Peace uncle Bry, and continue to watch over your girls.
