Bryan and I had a special connection that will truly be missed! Even though we didn’t always see things eye to eye, it was important to both of us that the other approved of our life. He was extremely proud of my family, and he never hesitated to state how much he cared…and we loved him and are especially fond of Jeff and Jason. Bryan had been through some tough times, and it makes me so happy that things settled down the last couple of years and we were able to spend some quality time together! I am so glad that Kent and I were able to go to the LeAnn Rimes concert with Bryan and Wendy recently…we had a great time that will never be forgotten. I am also thankful that we had a chance to spend time together during the last few days. Bryan was always tough on the outside and gushy on the inside…he had a lot of love for everyone and family meant everything. We will all sincerely miss him!!

Bryan you are our baby son. The way you liked to tease we didn't know if you were kidding or for real. We hated to see you suffer in the hospital and glad to know you are with your brother, Rob, in heaven. We will miss your loving hugs and your beautiful smile. Thanks for the mamy memories we have had together....we miss you.

I will cherish the memories that I have of your loving smile and compassion. Taking time to remember those good times helps me with the pain and sorrow I have now. There are so many wonderful memories but I will never forget the Christmas where he took our slime and ran it through Lea's new tennis racket. She wasn't too happy with him. He was so full of life, honesty and caring. I can hear his voice telling me how proud he is of me and my family. Bryan - I am proud of you too! You will always be in my heart and soul.

Little brother with a big heart. Memories with a quick wit, quicker smile, and blonde curls will fill my heart and mind forever.
I love you brother.

When I married into this wonderful family in 1968, Bryan was only 9 years old, so I guess I can say I knew him most of his life. The last two weeks while he was at UCI we talked, we cried and we laughed out loud. Especially when he was trying to shave himself after he'd received a shot of morphine. He was standing at the sink in the room, and couldn't keep his balance. To make matters worse, he handed me the razor and asked me to shave him. What a picture! We were laughing so hard the nurse had to come in and ask us to keep it down. I'm so glad I was able to spend that time with him. I'll miss you, Bryan.

While I have only been in the family a short while, Bryan was always very interested in what was going on with me, and made me feel welcomed into the family. I will miss him. He was a great person that I feel blessed to have known.
