My heart goes out to Kellie and their children. Brian truly made a difference in the lives of many people through coaching, mentoring and his overall smiling personality. I was blessed to be his friend since elementary school and whenever our paths crossed in life as adults, he was still Brian! He proudly boasted his children and life with Kellie. May he rest in peace and know he was one person that truly made a difference in the lives off many!

I would like to extend my condolances to his wife Kellie, his daughter Ashleigh and son Jordan. Brian coached my sons little league when we lived in Farwell. He was a great coach and from what I witnessed he always did everything to help a kid succede with his own kids and others whether on his team or not. I grew up in farwell and I knew Brian only through passings on the street and through little league and rocket football. Thank you Brian.
