Mary, I posted this last night, but don't think you would see it.
He was a man who loved God. He was burdened for kids. Please join in remembering his honest contributions to the arts in our friendly town. From his first moment as a teacher in WW until this year, he never budged from his focus: healthy students... He deeply loved and cared for more than most thought possible.
Honor this tremendous man for the work that emanated from his life of commitment to teaching excellence.
Brian, you are much loved, and much missed!

Thoughts and Prayers to Mary and the entire Senter Clan in the wake of this inexplicable loss. Brian was singularly talented, deeply complicated and sensitive, and inexhaustibly compassionate and empathetic to virtually everyone he came into contact with. His life, legacy, and presence will be indelible and irreplaceable to anyone who knew and loved him, as I did. I'll see you again, Senter Lad. PEACE/LOVE

Brian was my best friend starting the day he moved to Reardan...we found out his grandmother was a Piper..mine s Simpson and we're actually distant cousins...much like everyone else in Reardan...he was closer than a brother...I'd like to say I'm sorry for breaking your arm in 8th grade...sorry bout the ruptured spleen during our "parents are gone..lets go sledding in the dark" excursion...I wish I had known you better as an adult...I'll always love and remember you fondly...my heart goes out to your family...this is untimely and not fair by any standard..my deepest sympathies to your family...I wish I was closer..I'd attend the memorial..you will be missed dearly Bran K. Senter..

Love to the Senters from the Melvins. Somehow, I have a memory from our visit in 2003 ... Brian, sitting there, tying the laces on his enormous boots. He was on his way to work/school - of course. Larger than life! Much love to you, Mary, and kids.

I am so sorry to hear about this. Went to High School and graduated in the 1983 with him; did not know him well, but I can still see his smiling face and talent through the halls of Reardan High School. God bless his family.
