"I had the pleasure of meeting Brian about 5 years ago. He became good friends with my son and came to my home many times for dinner. We all went to church together and he was such a good sport about singing loud and proud to our heavenly father. He even let loose and clapped along to the songs! Brian was a tender hearted, fun loving guy who loved the Lord! My deepest sympathy to his family! May he be at peace with our heavenly father!"

"This is the meaning of Bri's name. Consistently it means tall, strong and noble. I shared this with him a few months ago....he truly lived up to his name. Strength and Honor. He is a very intelligent guy, who keeps his priorities straight and is extremely well rounded. Not only is he smart, but he is athletic, handsome, sexy, funny, and a great guy to hang out around. Trust me his somewhat klutzy personality can be funny when he plays the role/ He can often be very dramatic, in the good way. He is one of those guys that you can just share about anything with. He instantly just gains your trust. He is very reliable. Brian will always be there for a friend, no matter what the conditions. Brian is very creative and loves to contribute ideas. He has dreams of changing the world, and making it a better place for all to live. He is always true to who he is. He is a natural born leader, who can lead a group of people yet still have time for each individual. Only the lucky girls will get to be in a relationship with this guy, but anyone can be his friend. Even though we lose someone we Love they live on forever in our hearts. Much Love and Comfort to you"
