Brian was such a great man. I loved how it seemed like he always knew how to fix everything. I’ll never forget when he helped teach me how to shoot a gun by hanging a clay disc on a tree. As I went to shoot, he stopped me to go move it farther away from his truck, which was probably a great idea since I’m not a great shot. I’ll always love him, and he’ll be greatly missed!
Carol and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Brian’s sudden passing. Please know that others feel your sorrow and that you are in our prayers.
I am so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. I remember when we were kids and he and my brother Bryon hung out and of course I was there being a bother. We had a great childhood in Mondamin, after my brother Bryon passed, I know that Brian watched out for me. Now he and my brother can sit up in heaven and talk about old times. I feel your sorrow but know that God has a plan for him, he was a great man.
