Had the pleasure of working with Brian for almost 6 years. He was always so calm and easy going. The very few times he did get upset only lasted a moment. We had lost touch after we had stopped working together but a month or so before he passed I had contacted him to offer him his job back. I trusted him and now I miss him.
To Brian's mom, you raised a great soul. He loved you and respected you deeply. When we worked together we spent a lot time driving so that left a lot of time to talk one on one. I'm sure you know this but he had a lot of respect for you and what you had to overcome. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for Brian.

I remember Brian on our visit to Florida. He gave up his bedroom for an aunt and uncle from California. He said to us, "you must be special because mom never turns on the air conditioner." I must say "back at you Brian, you are very special!" and will always be in our prayers and thoughts.
