Sorry to find Brian this way  .. we were first loves/ first broken heart(s) . He was a genuine good person and  I thought of him throughout the years, always wishing him the best.  Sorry  to the family, for your loss.

I was very saddened to hear that Brian had passed away. I have so many great memories of him when he was a student at Poplar Road P.S. Brian was a great person and I was very fortunate to have had him on so many of my school sports teams. He brought something special to every team on which he played and he was one of my all-time favourite students. Brian, you will be missed by many people. Rest in peace.

Oh Michelle when Cindy sent me a message to tell me about Brian's passing I was shocked.  Although I haven't seen him in years the pictures posted here brought back a flood of memories! 
He was the first boy that ever kissed me (we were in kindergarten together) and I slapped him across the face.  He ran home and told my mom, who then grounded me for slapping him!
We had so much fun when you two were at our house and from looking at the pictures he was a big part of you and your families lives.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Thinking of you at this really sad time.
RIP Brian, you were taken way too soon, but you will always be remembered.
Love Carol

Oh Michelle I am so very sorry! We think the people we love will always be around and then they are taken from us in a flash. Life is so cruel sometimes and no words can express how we feel. I am thinking of you and yours.

Michelle and family. So sorry to hear about your loss! Hugs to all of you!
Karen Burgess Skeoch and family xxoo

I looked through your photos and oh man, so many memories! My condolences to you and your family Michelle!! Hugs and much love!! xoxoxoxo

So sorry for everyone's loss.  I loved chatting with him when I was out walking the dog.  I feel like I knew him better this chapter of our lives than when we were younger.  He spoke of so many people we grew up with and the good times we had.  I will truly miss him.

Michelle - I am so sorry to hear about Brian.  He sure was a big part of the Lausanne Cres crew from our childhood.  Please know that I am thinking of you at this very difficult time.   Regards, Kelly Rathwell (Rosborough)

Oh Dear Michelle, Ken and the boys,  I'm so sorry for your huge loss.  Brian was the older brother I never had when I was growing up.  I thought he was the cutest, coolest guy in the neighbourhood and I was the luckiest girl cause I got to spend time with him when my mom provided after school care to you guys!  In our early teens he became the annoying brother I never had, as he pelted Michelle and I with hockey pucks in the basement and we squealed around loving it.  Ok, I loved it...Michelle snitched on him all the time :)  I know how much you'll miss him but also how lucky you've been to have your biggest fan in your corner for part of your journey.  I hope the memory of his support will last your lifetime.
