Brian - remembering you today as it was 13 years ago you were last here. I still can see your smiling face and was so happy that we were reconnecting after 8 years of silence. When I drive by your old house on Burning Tree Road I remember the times hanging out with you there. I remember the summers with Paul and you driving around town. You were a great friend and I miss you and think of you often. Hope you are having fun performing in that big theater in the sky. Till we meet again XOXO

11 years - can't believe it - you would have just celebrated your 59th birthday - you would have been teasing me about being a year younger as you always did. I miss not being able to talk or hear about what play you may be doing now. Talking over what shows I have been seeing here in Boston. Maybe in the warmer weather getting you to come to Boston to see one with me. You would have loved WICKED and Hamilton. Miss you bud. Until we meet again - always in my heart. XOXO

I can't believe it has been 8 years since you passed. We had just started talking again over Facebook after a 10 year hiatus. I think of you often and remember your smiling face. I miss you bud. If you were still here we could talk about our performances and our love of theater & musicals. Till we meet again. XOXO

Mr.Brian inspires me every where I go. I wish I could see him again.When I found out he was dead I could not stop thinking about him. But in my mind he is still here with us,and watching us. If I knew he was going to die I would have hugged him for 10 minutes and told him that I love him with all my heart! Whenever I perform it feels as if he is watching me from the audience.
Sincerely, Alicia Davidson

Last night, out of nowhere, Alicia wanted to watch "A Night At The Smithsonian" (Center Stage Recital from 2010).
There you were, as the night watchman, making us laugh and cry, again.
A whole year has gone by, and we still miss you so much.
Alicia talks about you often, she writes you notes, draws you pictures, and mentions you whenever she performs.
You continue to inspire her.
I know she will love you and remember you always, as will I and countless others.
This picture appears on our desktop regularly. Being in Oliver with you is one of her fondest memories.
Love,
Linda and Alicia Davidson

I took a last walk around our old high school on Saturday and remembered so much about the times we spent together in those halls and it made me miss you that much more. I also found your high school picture and read what you wrote on the back over and over. I have a picture that I look at from my graduation party of you sitting in my dining room by the cake...lol...I remember the summers we spent just hanging out and the winters watching you play hockey. I remember your smile and wish I could just see it if only one more time. I miss you and will forever be your goodie 2 shoes...xoxo

There are so many things we could say about Brian. We could talk about how he never said a bad thing about anyone. How he inspired me (as one of his students) and I think about him every day, feel like I'll never get over him. I could talk about how comfortable I was with him. I could talk about how much I loved him. I still do. He was like a father or an uncle to me. He was fun, high spirited, the best actor (ever!). The emotional trauma from this incident has effected my life so badly and I feel like I could never feel normal again. If I said all these things about Mr. Brian, how much we all dearly miss me, he would be modest and lightly accept the compliment.
Mr. Brian, I miss you.

After tonight's performance at the NSB Little Theatre, once again we asked ourselves what happened to Brian. We talked about how fearless & talented he & so many of the actors there are in the roles they take on.
Looking for answers, we turned to the Internet. It allows us to answer so many questions ... sometimes with answers we do not wish to hear.
Now we know why Brian is no longer involved at the Little Theatre. He is missed. Our condolences to his family, close friends, & loved ones.

Thomas,
I know how sad you feel
for the loss of you brother Brian.
This sorrowful time feels so unreal you need to look above for the strength that you need.
I hope, with my whole heart, that your pain will decrease, and that your spirit will gain strength again. I pray that your faith will create inner peace.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load, I’m right next to you, waiting to come to your aid.
Just let me know, and I’ll walk down that road with you until the dark times start to fade.
Love Mar

After They Are Gone
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear Brian would want us to heal,
Now that he is gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember & time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.
Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a way to get to tomorrow.

Allthough Brian and i were just acquaintances, he was one of my wifes best friends. He was a man with a heart as big they come. He was a talanted actor, gifted singer and a great friend to all who were blessed enough to cross paths with him. I only wish I had the opportunity to have known him as well as I would have liked, but Brian You were a great man, friend and confidant to my wife and my son, and for that I am eternaly greatful! I grieve for the world because we have really lost one of "THE GOOD GUYS"!

I lost a best friend, our community lost a person that we should all strive to be. Success should be measured in quality of character. Brian was extremely successful.
I will miss him every day.

If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. There is no greater love than this. There is no greater gift that can ever be given.
– “They that loved beyond the world cannot be separated by it; only to return to the world from which they once came.”
All who knew and loved Brain, you are in my Thoughts and Prayers.

Brian was a kind and talented person who will be sorely missed, including by his many theater friends. I am very grateful to have had the chance to meet and work with him. Deepest sympathy to his family and dear friends. My husband, Mike, and I are praying for you as you deal with the shock and heartache of his death.
