I met Brian when I was a lifeguard at the YMCA for 4 years. I love people and making new friends. After almost close to 3 years of speaking with him almost daily, he finally opened his heart and life up to me. I am truly honored and blessed to have been in his life. I have a crohnic iillness and I am frequently hospitalized, he would send me a Facebook message to check on me and make sure I was okay. Brian you are are bright light in my life and I will miss you so much.

Didn´t know Brad well, just through the event in Oshkosh, but I found him to be a nice, friendly guy. We will all miss him. Condolences to his family and friends.

We knew each other in highschool and became better friends at the campground. My wife and I are glad to have shared time together with you and Linda. God bless you.
