I loved Brian with all my heart. My heart constantly hurts missing him. I wish things were different. He was the sweetest man I ever been with. My family loved him instantly. He will always be in my heart forever. I know he's in heaven and will meet again. My condolences to Sauciers.

Brian,
Hearing about your passing breaks my heart. I have not seen or spoken to you in many years but so many of my childhood memories have you in them. When I think about you when we were kids I remember you were an awesome soccer player you had a great smile and you were very kind hearted.
I always wished the best for you. I occasionally run into your Mom, Dad and Brittany around Slidell and my heart breaks for them right now I know they love so much. Eric and I will be praying for your family to get through this terrible time.

My Sweet Nephew my heart is so broken. We are left behind enduring the pain of losing you. I will forever treasure the beautiful 36 years I had with you. Knowing you are resting in the arms of our Lord brings me some comfort, but doesn't take away the pain. I am so proud of you and love you with all my heart. Rest in peace my baby...until we are reunited again.

I love you cousin, I'm kind of at a loss of words. Just been thinking of all the good times we had growing up. Riding jet skis in the lake during the summer, trick or treating way late into the night on Halloween. Having the block parties at your mom n pops spot durning New years eve. Talking the boat out fishing on fair weather days. And all the countless nights we stayed up till 3am playing halo on the xbox. Going scope out our parade spot for mardi gras at 2am the night before and grilling some burgers till the sun came up. So many good times that i can remember. It's hard to believe that you are no longer with us man. I miss you dearly already. It really hit me the other day when i was looking through my phone and saw your number with your picture next to it and realised i won't be able to call it anymore and get to hear you answer on the other end. That i won't be able to see my number one partner when i come to visit new Orleans anymore you wont be there to greet me. It really saddens me and i just still don't want to believe that it's true. I love you man, you were always more of a brother to me then a cousin. We did like everything together growing up. Always at each others houses and going places together. I will truly miss all that. You will be gravely missed by me and so many more. The world lost a great person when you left us. I love you my brother, may you be in a better place and rip. I'll see you on the other side one day. Till then rip, i love you.

Saucier Family,
I have known y'all my entire life, and though Brian was a few years older then myself, every time our families got together for celebrations or special occasions he was always such a sweetheart and nothing but kind to me. He was in a way like the older brother I never had. He will be greatly missed by all his family & friends and may the love of said family & friends help you all get through this difficult time. God Bless. Rest in Paradise Brian. ❤
