I wished I could have met you, nephew. Seeing the sadness and how much you are missed tells me how incredible of a person you were. Your legacy lives on with the stories that are told and the memories that are held by the people you impacted. I am saddened we never met but your flame continues to burn. Rest in Peace, nephew. We will meet someday.
Your uncle,
Bryan 

 I was there the day the doctors brought Brian into this world. He was long, thin, light hair, brown eyes 6 lbs 11 oz. He became a very energetic happy little boy. His smile was beautiful, and made me forget the whole world. He could steal the hearts of all our family. It was so much joy and fun watching him grow into a very loving young man .His jokes and laughter brought such joy and enthusiasm to the family. He wanted to be accepted for who he was .We loved him so much! Brian was the kind of person who would help anyone if he could. Many nights his kind and compassionate heart helped a friend in need, thought their troubled night with a listening ear. Even though he expressed himself covered with tattoos, he was deeply cared about in his community. At his visitation a stranger approached Michelle just to express his gratitude to her about Brian. Brian was driving along one day and saw this man on the side of the road in distress. He was having a heart attack. Brian took him to the hospital and gave him cab fare to get back home. I was most touched when two of the restaurants Brian frequently dinned at, said Brain were a very respectful man, and wanted to pay their respect to our family by providing food, after the funeral service to feed everyone.

Brian’s loss is beyond words and the devastation is beyond belief. He will never have the opportunities for our family gatherings, celebrations, and holidays.We will forever miss Brian’s jokes, his vibrant laugh, and sense of humor, his big smile on his face. I will never receive any more hugs from him, nor will I ever hear him say I love you grandma. I will never be able to offer him loving grandma advice. He will never marry, have children, or reach his full potential. I will never see him be a good father. We will always suffer an empty brokenhearted black hole in our heart and lives. Our heart is forever broken beyond repair. He is missed extremely! My heart will always ache for you Brian. Your forever loved and missed by your grandma and family.
