Grew up with Brian and have many wonderful memories of him. He was always very kind and a great friend to everyone. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
Christie and Glen, It's so hard when someone dies, and we hate that your family is having to go through this now. Please remember that we are here most anytime for a chat and a meal-all we ask for in exchange is a bit of time with those lovely girls of yours! Sincerely and with all our best, Barbara and Jeff Acree
Brian was a good neighbor to my parents for years. Always kind and pleasant. Loved to ride his motorcycle.
Someone I didn’t have the opportunity to know, but I know that his support and love for others radiated out into the world in a way that reached my life as well. In love and support of those he loved and supported so well. Rest in peace. 🙏
Keeping the family close in prayer and love
