So very sorry. My condolences to the whole family.
I will never forget you kindness at a time in my life when I needed help- and you stepped in – offered a hand when I hadn’t seen you in years- And you did that more than once! Your kind heart and friendship will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kay and your family
Kay and Family,
It was always a joy seeing Brian when I was out mowing my lawn. He was always so helpful, kind and giving. He will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Kay & Family, we are so terribly sorry for your loss. May God bless you & comfort you
We are so saddened by your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Brian will be missed but never forgotten. I pray for comfort for all of the family during this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss, i always looked up to Brian as a big brother while growing up with Greg.
Kay, I’m so sorry for your loss. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Brian was a great guy. I so enjoyed his sense of humor and the way he picked on everyone ( meaning he liked you). He will be truly missed.
I enjoyed working with Brian and getting to know him. He will be greatly missed and our days at Texas Spine and Joint won’t be quit the same. My prayers for his family during this time. He will be missed by so many. He was a wonderful nurse respected by so many.
Kay and Family,
Carl & I are so saddened to hear about Brian. We really enjoyed working with him and thought of him like a brother. We pray God comforts you and your Family in this difficult time.
Kay, you are in my heart and prayers. I worked with Brian for many years. He used to call me “Yankee” . I know he did it jokingly even though at the time I thought he was trying to get my goat. Brian is a good person who really cared about people. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a catchy laugh. God Bless you Kay.
Our prayers are with you and your family. Brian was a great friend to all who knew him.

So very sad to hear of Brian’s passing. Such a remarkable man. Loved his stories and practical jokes! Prayers of comfort for his family.
Brian will surely be missed. He was quite a character! I will miss his cut-ups, pranks and his laugh when he knew he’d gotten someone good. His true country drawl made him all the more memorable and down to earth. I loved how he gave everyone their own name that he would call them. Your middle name or last name was your common name with Brian or he’d give you a knickname that let you know he thought well of you and you were part of his work family. We will all miss his adventurous stories from Tom Thumb, hunting, showing pictures of things he’d made/built, vacations, Alaska memories, all the way to TSJHospital OPSS PACU. He could make us really laugh. I will miss my work brother.
God be with you and your family and give you comfort and peace. You will all be in my prayers.

Kay, our hearts are broken at the sad passing of Brian. You and your sweet family are in our prayers.
I am so so saddened at the lost of Brian. He was a wonderful, fun loving co worker. Work is much more quieter and lonely without him there. I keep waiting to turn around and there he will be, grinning at you.. Praying for God’s comfort for Kay and his family
Farewell to a dear friend who was caring, generous and loyal. Kay and Family, I share your sadness. Oh how precious is every day spent with someone you love and cherish.
I’m heartbroken to hear about your loss. I can’t stop thinking of you and can only imagine your devastating pain. I don’t know really what to say but that you’re so very special to me and I’d like to help you find some kind of peace in this awful situation. Please try to remember that Brian is right now sitting at the feet of our beautiful Savior. He is looking at the loving, incredible face of Jesus Christ and is healing. I know he is. I want for you to think of that amazing and healing truth as you make your way through this awful, unimaginable time. Hold tight to our Lord, for He’s your light….maybe the only light you can see right now. I am here for you now and always if you need anything at all. Again, you are so very special to me and I will continuously pray for you all. May God hold you and lead you through this, the hardest time of your life. I love you dearly. God bless your precious family.
With deepest sympathy and love to you,
Diana

Paul and are are deeply saddened by Brian’s passing. His friends and family have lost a good man. The Lord has called him home. We will see him again. Our thoughts and prayers are for Kay, his loving wife, and all family and friends missing him. We are so glad we did have the opportunity to know Brian and enjoy his enthusiasm, energy , and good nature. Rest in peace Brian.
My memories are of playing organized and street football with him. I truly remember tackling him once in sandlot football in front of Heather Glen and thinking – dang that hurt. He may have smiled a lot, but he played football with ferocious intensity. I remember driving some family member’s pick -up with him on some family farm of his. And we were only 13. Lol. And I remember hanging out with him in Bruce Bruce Bryant’s dad’s camper. TY for good memories in life. Prayers to the family.

I can still see where Brian sat in my class at Lakeview Centennial High School, back right corner, two seats up. And I can still see that twinkle in his eye and his quick gigantic smile. Brian was a bright, compassionate kid with a great sense of humor. Many prayers for Brian’s family and friends.
