His neighbors will deeply miss him! He kept an immaculate yard.. I remember when I moved across the street I saw this man sitting on the ground with a spoon of some sort digging out dandelions, I still chuckle but the jokes on me because one couldn't help but admire his beautiful lawn compared to my dandelion garden yard.. he was a courageous man who fought till the very end! Fly high Neighbor!

I'm so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. I worked with him at PPP and he was my daughter Annisas cousin. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
