My condolences to the family. I am shocked and saddened that Brian is no longer with us. We were in the same class and graduated together from DeVry and I worked with him for many many years. He was very soft-spoken, kind, and so so smart. I am so sorry. This is a huge loss.

I worked with Brian for many years at DST. He was thoughtful, consistent, and a strong supporter of his team and co-workers. I will remember Brian smiling with his eyes lit up sharing stores of his family, home projects, and bike adventures. With deepest sympathy, Liz.

So sorry to hear this devastating news. Was fortunate enough to work with (and for) Brian for my last 12 years at DST. For a time, he and I were the only ones in Release Mgmt, and his constant support helped make my job easier and led to our successful growth. Will miss all our conversations, whether it was about his Hawkeyes versus my Huskers, or the goings on with our families. He was a great boss, and an even better man. My heart goes out to his wife and his two girls.

I worked with Brian for many years at DST. For years, he managed the teams I worked on. Even after that, I looked forward to lunches with him and our shared friends on a regular basis. The characteristics that made Brian a great manager and colleague are the same ones that made him a great person and friend. He approached tasks and people with humanity, humor and wisdom. He loved his family and spoke about them all the time. My thoughts are with them during this difficult time. He will be sorely missed.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Brian’s passing. I had the privilege of working with him at DST, and he was truly one of the kindest and most patient people I’ve ever met. Brian had a way of making everyone feel like family—his warmth, humility, and genuine care for others. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Brian White on his passing. While I did not know Brian, I knew his older brother Kevin in high school and college years, He remains steadfast in my mind as one of the kindest and most blessed of those from my past. I also had occasions to speak to their father and i'm sure he and his wife were instrumental in instilling the faith in their children that will help their families accept, what appears to me, such an unfair circumstance. Kevin was a role model to Brian that made his (Bran's) path that much easier, just as all big brothers are tasked to try and be. With Greatest Respect, Larry Daniels

Brian was a coworker at DST but we also became very good friends. We connected so well because we were both giant sports fans. We communicated several times a week mostly about sports but also families, lawns, home projects, barbecuing and are jobs. Brian spoke highly about his family and I knew he loved you all very much. He was very proud of the grandchildren and recently sent me a picture of his grandson in training on what football team (Broncos) not to cheer for. I will miss Brian daily and it was an honor to have him as my friend. I am so very sorry Jill, I will keep you and your family in my daily prayers forever. God Bless you all.

Brian and I worked together for many years and when meeting new co-workers, we always reminded them we weren't related. I was in contact with Brian recently and we discussed our retirement plans. I'm so sorry he didn't have a chance to retire and spend more time with family and friends. He worked hard, devoted to family, and loyal to his employers. I have many fond memories of him and the impact he had on my life.
