"So sad to hear this news about Brian. He played for 7 years on a youth soccer team that I coached. Brian could run like the wind, and I always marveled at his stamina. He could run all day, and never seemed to tire. He had more to give the world, but just ran out of time. Mike bethke"

"Brian, I have no words to truly express how deeply saddened I am, we are, to learn you are no longer here on Earth. You were part of our family, and a great friend to all who had the pleasure of knowing you. Your uncanny wit and charm kept all around you smiling! Your laughter echos through my thoughts as I think of your zest for life. We will never be the same without you but I take a little comfort in knowing you are no longer struggling with your inner demons. You are able to finally be at peace and watch over us from above.
