Mr. Kenner always had a smile on his face and he always looked at the positiveness. I have known him for almost 3 years now and there was never a dull moment when I would see him. You are in my prayers Mr Kenner.

Mr. Kenner (Bryan),

You have fought the good fight, you have finished your course, you have kept the faith:  you always walked in faith, hope, and love.  

The original St. Louis Jesuits made a rare appearance at Loyola on the night of November 5, singing their songs used at your service that morning--what a message to us from God that you are already there!  

Miss you so much and with great love,
Ms. Darlene

So sorry to find out of the passing of Bryan. I knew Bryan from the Beginning
Experience group.

Brother Bryan taught me Algebra at O'Connell Junior High in Galveston in the early 70's. He was a great teacher and always had a smile on his face. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Br. Bryan was a great teacher to us at O'Connell High School.  So sorry to hear of his passing.  Elise Hoffman Lippincott (OHS Class of '76).

You came into our life during a Beginning Experience weekend and shared moments of your precious life with us.  You will aways remain in our hearts until we meet again. Jim & Sue Schultz

Bryan was an excellent teacher and a friend. I am very sad to hear of his passing.

My heartfelt thanks to each person who has shown my family kindness during this very sad time.  Thank you all for being a friend to my Uncle Bryan and/or his brother Frank (my father).  I am truly moved by all the beautiful comments, the people who traveled so far to be at the funeral, and for the lives my uncle touched.  Much love to each one of you.

I will miss my neighbor and friend. Rest in Peace my friend.
Pat Wilson

My family and I send thoughts and prayers to the family.  Mr. Kenner taught both my husband and I at St. Charles Catholic.  God Speed to Mr. Kenner.  Joe and Andrea Tullos

We have not seen Bryan in years, but we have good memories of him both from Bro. Martin High School and from the Archdiocesan Beginning Experience. Bryan was [and is] a gentle spirit who was always pleasant to others. Kindness is a great gift, and he possessed it.

Mr. Kenner taught my son (class of '99) and also served as his bowling coach while at Brother Martin. In 2001 he became a Louisiana State Bowling Champion.  I firmly believe that Mr. Kenner's efforts to help build my son's positive self esteem thru patience and encouragement while a student at Brother Martin helped my son achieve his goal.  He made a difference in a young man's life.  God Bless Mr. Kenner.

On behalf of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and Brother Martin High School, I offer our prayers and condolences.

It was such a joy to again meet Bryan last year at the Lenten Fish Fry at St. Clement of Rome Church.  The first time I met Bryan was in the late 60's at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas.  He and Brother Louis Welker arrived to begin their studies for a degree in theology!  We all enjoyed them and their efforts to make us laugh.  Each year at the end of summer classes we put on a talent show...what a hoot!  I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit with Bryan once again last year and to share a fish supper with him!  Pray for us, Bryan,

For years I met with Bryan and several other very fine men at 7am every Saturday morning. We reported and held each other accountable on how our lives could expand our environment for Christ. Bryan inspired me and made me a better Christian. God bless you Bryan and your family.

Bryan was always a very pleasant person
and I enjoyed being in his presence.I was
also a Christian Brother. May he rest in peace.

Frank, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I never met your brother but he often he would answer the phone when I would call to speak with you.  We used to engage in small talk and I always found him to be a very pleasant, friendly gentleman. 
 Hope you are bidding and making a bunch of grand slams.  I miss our time of playing bridge as I have only played a handful of times in the last 10 years.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Bryan Kenner was a great and dedicated teacher.  He always worried about his students and wanted to give them any help he could.  He taught my son in eight grade at Brother Martin.  We became close friends.  He came to the house many times for BBQ's.
You will be missed by Tina, Eddie and Larry.

Mr. Kenner was a wonderful dedicated Algebra teacher that will never be forgotten. I was blessed to have him as a teacher at St. Charles High School. Rest in peace.
Lori Guidry Keating (Class of '84)

God has called home a very courageous and special person. Bryan and I went to De La Salle during our formative years and he was one of my dearst friend. I especially remember him for his outstanding knowledge of math and being a kind and gentle individual. We met several times over the past years and kept up our long relationship. He was so happy that his treatment was going well and he was looking forward to coming home to friends and family.
God has a new teacher to instruct all of us who are still learning the meaning of life.

Bryan look over us and help us learn to be more like you.
 
May rest in peace and reap all your truly earned rewards.

Lynne and Tommy Graner (Baton Rouge)

Bryan was a great man and a great friend.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family and all of his many friends.  Cheryl Prestenback Buchert

Mr. Kenner taught me at St. Charles High. I remember him fondly. Rest in peace, dear man.

Bryan and I were in the Christian Brothers' seminary together in Santa Fe in the early 1960's.  We were both in the choir and Bryan could never carry a tune.  He was always asking me to help him hit the right note but it was pretty hopeless.  We had a great time together in Santa Fe; he always had a big smile.  Will miss him.  Maybe the angels in heaven can help him sing.

Mr. Kenner took the physicis book and brought it to life.  God bless Mr. Kenner a great teacher and a great man.

Your friends at World Deli will surely miss you, your laugh,your smiles,your jokes. We are so happy we became such good friends. I know you are smiling down on us from heaven.

Bonnie, Wendy, Christy and Kelli

We will miss our dear friend, Bryan.  He cherished his friendships over the years.  His faith was very strong and was apparent to everyone he knew.  

Ed and Cecile Diehl

Bryan - You will surely be missed.  You were always smiling and joking.  I know thought that now you are in a better place and are no longer suffering.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bryan and I were best of friends since high school.  He was always cheerful and warm.  He remembered my birthday all these years.  I last spoke with him on my birthday this year.  I will miss that call.  My deepest condolences to his wonderful family and all of his friends.  Br. Alphonse LeBlanc, F.S.C.

When I think of Bryan, I think of a great, big smile and a whole lot of energy. A good and faithful servant of our Father; a brother in Christ.

Bryan, I will miss you. My faith tells me
that you are in a better place. May the angels lead you to paradise!
Brother Louis Welker, FSC

May God bless you Brian and lead you quickly through the gates of heaven.  You lived each day to the fullest and always looked to God for guidance.  God bless.

Sorry to hear the news of Mr. Kenner's passing. He was a teacher to my son at St. Charles Catholic in Laplace. He will be missed my many of his students.

The Welker Family is so sorry to hear about the passing of our family friend Bryan.  Bryan was a very good friend of my brother, Brother Louis Welker, FSC, going back to the days when he was a member of the Christian Brothers.  After he left the order he remained close to Brother Louis and our family.  Both of my sons attended Brother Martin and it was always a pleasure to see Byran.  He was a wonderful teacher and friend.  Rest in Peace Bryan.
