So very sorry to hear of the loss of Brian. I went to grade school and high school with Brian. I also got to see him from time to time after High School and I always enjoyed catching up with him. He was such a nice guy and I know He will be missed deeply by so many people. I am praying for his family and friends as they mourn him.
