Looking back at our times together, they were not always happy and pleasant. In fact for several years, we spoke very little. At times we fought often. There were misunderstandings, grudges, and fights, and yet he was my brother. I forgot that too often, and didn't have the courage or honesty within myself to realize how much time that cost us; how that robbed moments we could have spent getting to know each other better.
I regret losing that time with Brian, but it's made me realize just how special each moment of my life -- all of our lives -- truly is.
Death is the inevitable outcome of life, but I don't fear it as I once did. Brian's death changed my perspective on life, and, over time I've come to understand and appreciate this gift more and more. -Scott, April 2018
What a great spirit Brian had. The world is a little less happy without him in it. His jokes and laughter are some of my favorite memories from HS. He'll be missed.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and memories of Brian. The love of Brian you all have brings tears to my eyes. We miss him so much already. I went to his house for the first time since...and there was an emptiness in my heart. He had a way of giving me a knowing smile and a giggle--we had a way of speaking without words and all I want to do is hug him once more. All of the support we have received has been comforting yet heartbreaking, and I know in my heart that Brian knows how much we and his friends loved him. I am glad that this site is here so that all of us can visit Brian...whenever we need a good laugh, a good cry, or just someone to talk to. Thank you everyone for being here and for remembering the good times that were, and the good times that are still to come because that's what Brian would have wanted. We love you Brian, always.

Brian was a wonderful guy, and I looked up to him when I was a little freshman at Hamilton. He always seeemed so together, so sure of himself, and so hilarious. He seemed to genuinely enjoy the company of most people, and made many lives better by having eclipsed them. I am so sad to hear of Brian's passing, and my heart and prayers go out to him and his family. Good-bye Brian; you will be greatly missed.

I still can't believe this, I just saw him at Jim and Cyndee's wedding. I remember him telling us stories, laughing and him giving Justin a hard time for not dancing with me. I can still see him smile and hear him laugh when I close my eyes. This is how I will always remember him! You will be greatly missed Brian, you were taken too young.
