I went to high school with Brian and worked with Brian at Seminole Elementary. Great guy and I can't even begin to understand the loss and pain y'all are going through. Brian never said no at work and always found a solution and made a way. I don't believe I ever saw him, in school or at work, all these years later, without a smile. He will be greatly missed and I know he was deeply LOVED. Prayers for all the family and friends!

It may have been a while since I've spoke with brian, but it seems like yesterday we were walking the hall of school. He always said hey how are you doing . He was a friend I've known since 5th grade. My condolences go out to his family and all his friends .

My thoughts and prayers are for Brian’s family in this most difficult time. I have had the honor of knowing Brian and Dale in their capacity of Maintenance Directors for Okeechobee Schools.
