Dear Brian, I found it a pleasure to know you even though I was usually on the do also, from one end of the country to the other. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I met Brian at Jackson Community College and quickly became friends with him. We were in many of the same classes. I was one of Brian's 2 roommates at the U of M which again found us in many of the same classes since we were both studying for an EE degree. Over those 4+ years, it was great to share hiking, backpacking, XC Skiing, and college antics with him as well as rides in his Camaro. It is wonderful to learn of his successful career and to know he had a loving family. I regret having lost touch with Brian after graduation and am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to his family.

My sincere sympathy to Brian´s family, we worked together at Jackson Citizen Patriot for a few years. He was a great co-worker & friend. Always upbeat and fun to be around, we had many fun times together. So sorry for your loss, God gained an angel.

My hart dropped seeing Brian's passing. My sympathies go out to his family. I worked with Brian for several years at the Jackson Citizen Patriot where we became good friends. I have many memories of the good times we had at work and after.
