    My heart is so sad and heavy with grief for Brian and his family. the news of his passing rocked me to my core.

    I have been getting to know Brian more and more at work ... and what a kind soul, big hearted man with a true presence of love and joy. A gentle conduit and lighthouse of the love of God. He was just a friend to all in his quiet way.

    He not once told any of us what he was going through.

    I am so honored to have met him, to know him, to be the recipient of his warmth, his kindness, his caring . I will remember him as being one of the kindest people I have ever met.

    I know he was loved very much and by many.

    I wish for everyone to remember him with such good thoughts and memories too.

    I worked with Brian for over a year now. Brian was always so kind, always willing to help, and super resourceful. Reading what he did on his personal time makes sense as to how he carried himself at work. I will miss our tagups we had on the various projects we worked together on. May you rest in peace Brian and may God give your family and friends strength to grieve your departure to eternal life. You will be missed my friend!
