Dear Karen & Family, I first met Brian at a past employment and we became friends; it was easy to be a friend of Brians, he was open and honest, funny and smart. We shared parties at our house and yours years ago and he had such love and pride for all of you. He and I shared or love of birds and I still remember the thistle bunch that he grew for the birds; always looking out for the benefit of people and animals. A truly genuine human being--so many great memories for all of you to cherish. Sharon & Larry

I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. He made many
contributions to the community, including the school
district. We are all diminished by his early departure.
May God bless and support his family at this difficult
time. We all join you in your sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. He was a brave, kind and positive person who inspired me by his courage. In the face of bad news he remained strong and hopeful. I knew him only a short time through our monthly meetings but he left a footprint on our hearts and will always be remembered. May God give you strength during this very sad time. Prayers and hugs to his family.
