I worked with Brian at Tyson Foods on several projects and we and ran after business in Dallas and Houston. Brian was a joy to work with and he made my laugh when I'd get a call from and him regarding Cedar Hill Football. My cousin was the head coach so Brian kept me informed.
We walked about Jesus and our role as fathers. I encouraged Brian and he encouraged me. That is what brothers do! God bless Felicia and the kids! We will see Brian again! Thank you Jesus!
