I did not know brian but, his name was mentioned in passing, by my wife. Mentions of his name were always of a warm nature. From what little I know of Brian, he seemed to be a kind, humorous, and gentle man. Lord knows we need more men of that nature in our lives. My condolences to the family during such a grievous time. May you have peace in the knowledge of Brian’s character and impact on those around him. May you find rest in the Lord, the comforter, the ever-merciful, and the lover of mankind.
