I am so very sorry for your loss. His children were his life and he raised them with such a loving heart. I have never met his wife and other daughter but I know how much he loved them and was so proud of the family they put together. My heart breaks for the entire family. May Our Lord keep you all safe ❤️

Brian you were my loving son. I thank God for the 44 years you were with us. You always were a big brother to your brother and sister. I seem your pains and joys in life. Brian you were a wonderful loving father to Jeremy and Sierra. God put many good people in your life and you had a hugh impact on all who knew you. You called me practically every day. I am truly going to miss those calls. Your greatest joy was your wedding to Colleen and gaining another daughter Ashlyn. You were taken from us so soon. I know you are with God and all who gone before you. Rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon you. Love alway mom.

I have no words for the shock of the loss of Brian. He has been a part of my and my kids life and all his friends for over 28 years. I was a “ momma” to this group of friends who all worked and played together. Such fond and crazy memories. Brian lit up a room with his presence and laughter was his magic. I will miss his karaoke and the friendship we had with him. He was a wonderful father and loved his new family with Colleen so much and was truly happy again. I am saddened that I could not be there but know my heart will never forget such a beautiful loving Brian. You will be so dearly missed. My prayers to his family and so many friends. Love you Brian♥️♥️
