I did not only love him Brian, but I had the chance to be loved by him! He was and will ever be the greatest love of my life. I just wish that we had our 2nd chance at happily ever after. My heart will truly never be whole again, because he was the best part of it. I will miss you till the day I die my love, and hope that we will have our chance again the next time around!

I loved Brian very much and will miss him for the rest of my days.

Brian and I worked together at Suncoast. We had so much fun setting up new stores, remerchandising stores...even attending meetings. He was one of the sweetest, kindest, funniest people I have ever know. I will never forget his smile or the countless inside jokes we share. Rest in peace, my friend.

I had to pleasure of working with Brian for over 16 years and 2 different companies. His work ethic was what any company looks for in their managers. But it was the way the he conducted himself personally that really made Brian special. He had the highest level of integrity in everything that he did. He always put the needs of others before his own. He would go out of his way to show you his appreciation just for being there. He was funny and knew just went to throw out those movie quotes to lighten the mood. How he always remembered all of those movie quotes was a mystery to me. But he seemed to know just the right one to toss out at the right moment.

While he worked for me as one of my managers for all of those years, I will always consider Brian to be much more than an employee. He always asked how things were going with my family. He showed concern and support when times were tough. He celebrated when things were great. He genuinely cared about the people in his life. I am honored to be able to consider Brian a friend.

God Bless you Brian. We all miss you very much. Rest in peace.

Brian was my neighbor and friend of seven years. He was such a great guy -- thoughtful and considerate, loyal and dependable, kind, helpful, and sometimes mordantly funny. I feel lucky to have known him and I'll miss him tremendously. My thoughts are with his family and all who knew him.

Brian was the epitome of possessing a genuine desire to give and share himself, but simultaneously very wary of would be privy to his embracing warmth. And this intimacy he chose to offer you made it ever more radiant and consuming. Love you, Brian.

Words can't explain what you ment to me. Alaina and I loved you dearly. I just wish i could have hugged you, chatted with you, sing a Adele song, try to guess a movie quote, or gossip about celebrities one last time. You were more than Boss, you were more than a friend. You were the reason i came to work. We didn't always agree but i still loved you the same. There will always be a place in my heart for you. In your memory, i will be getting the "sweet dreams are made of this" tattoo you always wanted. I'll love you til the day i die. RIP Brian xoxo....to the family im so sorry for your loss. If i can help with ANYTHING at all...plz contact via email. Brian was my family. And i would love to be here for you guys.
