My sincere condolences to Rebecca, Marilyn and all the Kemp/Heck family in the passing of Brian. Memories Keep Those We Love Close to Us Forever Although words seem to say so little, I hope they help in some small way to ease the sense of loss that you are experiencing today. Hold fast to your cherished moments of the past, to the blessing and the laughter, the joys and the celebrations, the sorrow and the tears. They all add up to a treasure of fond yesterdays that you shared and spent together, and they keep the one you loved close to you in spirit and thought. The special moments and memories in your life will never change.They will always be in your heart today and forevermore. Every thing that happens is part of Gods eternal plan. Love and prayers.

I knew Brian for many years while driving for Monson Trucking. I will always consider him a true friend. I will miss all of the fun and laughs we had while "Runnin' Together", but will cherish the serious talks that were spent during the late night runs on the C.B.Radio. I was honored to know him, and all my love to his family and friends for our loss.

Brian and I hung around together at Hazel Park Junior High. We bumped into each other at football games in highschool and years later at What the Heck. The conversation always seemed to continue effortlessly since the last time we saw each other. My prayers go out to the Kemp and Heck families.

Somewhere in our dreams tonight

We'll see you standing there.

You look upon us with a smile

"Life isn't always fair".



You say you were chosen for his garden.

His preciously hand picked bouquet

"God said He really needed me,

That's why I couldn't stay".



Heather, Kristy and Tony,



I am truly saddened by your loss but my heart is filled with happiness and laughter because I am blessed to have experienced a love with your dad and I will remember the times we all shared together. You were all a big part of my life.



My thoughts and prayers are with you.
