Dear Bryan,

I love you so much and will truly miss your physical- mortal prescence. Bryan you could never do anything wrong in my eyes. You and I have done the best we could do with what god has given us. You are truly the most remarkable person I have ever known. Bryan, you always made me feel so special, with your kind words and encouragement (but really that is for you). Bryan, I have learned so much from you, but most of all Bryan, Your passing has shaken me up so much that I will work so very hard on what I abuse to get through the dailey grind. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH, AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME. LOVE JEFF

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Bryan. He was a great person to everyvody, especially my dad. I have never seen those two any happier than when they were together. He always knew how to make a person laugh even though it may had been inappropriate at times. Having him and his wonderful daughter Tyler come and stay with us for a couple days on Spring Break of 2006 was a blessing. I love Tyler as if she was my own sister and Bryan as another wonderful uncle. It was a shock to hear the horrible news. You would never have thought that this would happen to him at such a young age. I am very sad that I couldn't attend on Saturday's get togther for his loss but I would like every one to know that he meant alot to me and I wish that I could be there with the family just to give them support when needed.I love you all

Just wanted to let the family know that we will miss Bryan. Bryan lived next door to us in Virginia and we talked and shared stories. We are sorry for your loss and will keep the family in our prayers.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you know how much my wife and I cared about Bryan. After knowing him for years in the ink business and surviving a number of adventures, Bryan introduced me to rock climbing which I still enjoy.Truly one of the most articulate and inately intelligent people that I have ever met.He taught my wife to listen to the backup singers on her favorite Natilie Merchant album. At times he was truly hilarious.Always enjoyed when he proudly brought Tyler by, and anyone who loves dogs as much as he did is a good soul. I have been missing him daily.I will send you some pictures if I can find some! Love ya Tyler! See you soon Jimmy.

Nobody will miss Bryan as much as myself and my family. His life is the stuff legends are made of. He was my friend always, no mater what the circumstances. We are truly sorry for his loss. We all loved Bryan and and wish to express our heartfelt sorrow to the family. Gary White & Family

Family of Bryan

My prayers are with you at this time. I've worked with Bryan at Alcoa and he was a nice man to work with, who often talked of his daughter Tyler and their visits. I've prayed for his illness as well as recovery but God has a plan. Please know that while tears fall in the night joy will arrive in the morning. God Bless those that are left behind.

Sincerely

Jimmy, Scott and Hinton,

I just want to let you know that I am thinking of you. I cannot tell you how shocked and sad I am to know that Bryan is gone. I have lots of great memories of Bryan, your parents, Tresco Road, Penhook, Smith Mountain Lake and your whole family. Those memories make me happy to have been a part of his life.

I will be out of town this Saturday but please know you will be in my thoughts.

Much love,
