Brian, it breaks my heart having to write this. I am so thankful for the friendship we had when we were younger. For some reason we had every class together in middle school and every class we would get in trouble because you would make me laugh so much. I have never met anyone with a sense of humor quite like yours. It was so unique. Thank you for the many years of laughter. To Brian's friends and family my thoughts are with you.
