Brian Lee, you were an unequivocal force of life and love. Life without you & Jr is unimaginable, my brothers from another mother. I love you both. You kept me in stitches when you were pre-law at State and every time I answered the back line at your dad´s office, your voice would echo "wha´s goin´ on?!" I just can´t find the right words to express what you mean to me. I will miss you endlessly, Brian Lee. Give my daddy & Junior big hugs for me. Until we meet again, I will remember you every first day of summer. Counselor, I am so sorry. My love to you, Pam, Aubrey, and Logan.

Dear Dave & Pam, it's been a long time since we've met through Brian and sadly a long time since I've been in touch with him at all but I feel the loss. I'm so very sorry and heartbroken for the pain you and Aubrey and Logan are enduring at this time. As long as it's been since I've seen Brian, even I have tears for the loss of him. He and my son Nate had a great bond and for Brian's kindness to Nathan and keeping in touch with him, making him feel loved, I will never forget him and will miss him just being here with us. My condolences, sincerely, Kris Monroe

I have known Brian for many years through bankruptcy court. He represented debtors and I represented creditors, but although we were on opposite sides professionally we became friends. Brian was a good attorney and friend, but most importantly he was a genuinely good person. He will be greatly missed.

The first time I met Brian was at one of his acclaimed office Christmas parties and I noticed how effortlessly charming he was. (Who can forget his unapologetic "singing" renditions?) His infectious smile and warm personality made everyone feel welcome and it was very clear that he had a remarkable way of connecting with people. As a lawyer, he carried himself with professionalism that was only matched by his kindness and friendliness to everyone that he encountered. Nicole, I can only imagine how deeply you miss him. Brian's legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched and also in the incredible love you both shared. May that love continue to bring you strength and comfort in the days ahead and always. I extend my deepest condolences to all of Brian's family. I know how proud he was of his children. Brian's passing is an immeasurable loss to our community and to everyone who knew him. May his kindness, warmth and love live on in us all. I am praying for us all during this difficult time.

I met Brian when I worked at the courthouse in Clarksville TN over 15 years ago. He was such a funny and nice guy. I would see him around town and he always had a smile on his face and a hello for you. I am so very sorry for the loss to his family and friends. He will definitely be missed.

As a chapter 7 trustee, I often had the opportunity to work with Brian. I knew him as a diligent and conscientious attorney, working hard on behalf of his clients. He was always kind and gentle with his clients and honest and respectful in dealing with other lawyers. We will miss him very much.

This is a truly sad loss for those that knew him. I loved that every time I saw him he had a little joke and a smile to share or was happily vibing to some oldies. His light hearted nature was a blessing.
