I met Brian when he played coach pitch baseball with Chino, Tonio and Stephany.
Rest in Peace, Brian. I will be keeping your family in my prayers.

Its been only a couple days and it as till feels so unreal. Words will never describe how much we all miss you.

Brian, it is still unbelievable that you are no longer with us. There is nothing that I could possibly write or say that accurately expresses the emotion that your loss has brought upon me. As I think of you and the limited moments that we shared, I can only smile because of the warmth that overcomes my being.

The first memory I have of you is of a small child coming to the door. It was a Halloween night and you were only five or six years of age. As I think back to that moment, I recognize that even then your presence brought comfort to me. It was that small familiar face to a young girl who was trying to develop a root in a new neighborhood that still lingers as our first interaction.

From this initial meeting developed many joyous memories. In those memories, I see you eating your cereal with one of the big spoons Lorena would give you so that we wouldn't be late to school. I see you on our walks to school with your big backpack running alongside Lupita creating distance between us. I see you greeting me with your big hugs and realizing that you had become a man. I see you as that friend that ate a whole bunch of taquitos with me before dinner when no one was home and laughing at our small mischief. Above all, I see a life full of spirit. A life full of love and kindness for others. I see a life full of family and well being.

Dear Brian, as short as your life was, the world was very blessed to have you for even that short period. May you rest in peace and watch over those you love. May your soul be complete of love and compassion for those that you leave behind. God be with you until we meet again.

BRIAN 

A CARING GOOD FRIEND TO ALL WHO HAS CROSSED HIS PATH IN LIFE. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED AND LOVED BY ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY...

Brian where do I start ? I'm really at lost for words, why you ? You were such an amazing kid. God took you to soon. You were my little brothers best friend and you were like my little brother. I'm going to miss fighting with you everything I saw you I have no one else to push (cuz David's bigger than me) I'll miss you Brian watch over all of us. I love you like my lil brother. RIP Brian May god bless you up there.

If Tears Could Build A Stairway, and memories were a lane, we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were every spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. -----Grief. Death. Rest in Peace Fam. I Love You And Miss You Fam

Words Cannot Explain How I Feel, I'm Going To Miss You Fam ! I Love You And Your In A Better Place Now. Thank You For All The Memories We Shared From Wrestling In A Jumper To Having A Good Time Drinking And Laughing About Life. Thank You For Everything Fam I Love You Always And Forever Bro. Miguelito

Brian, 
Words cannot explain what we are all going through right now, I can't believe your gone. I have so many memories with you, we grew up together. Skating inside the house, coloring, watching the power rangers movie over and over believing we were them, watching all our favorite cartoons, Spying on people playing detectives, learning to swim, when we made a yard sale selling our watercolor paintings and Pokemon we had made with mud, our secret tree house, swimming at my house then jumping on the trampoline, the movies we would make, the fun trips to Castles & Coasters and Water world, that time we went to Mexico and got such a bad sunburn so then I said yogurt would help and their we were rubbing yogurt all over our face. I remember when we were little Lore would take us to school, she would give us big spoons so we could finish our cereal fast and not be late. When you got baptized I remember so well how you kept saying you were dressed like an angel. 

Time passed and we both grew up, you said you wanted to move to my school so I helped you convince my Tia, their was that time we didn't go to school and instead went horseback riding with our friends. All those times we both covered up for each other and gave each other advice. I wish I could relive all those moments and hear your laugh again. You were so shy and yet so kind. Every time I think of you the first image that comes to my mind is that of your heartwarming smile and laugh. 

I thank god for allowing me to spend the time I did with you. I will miss you so much but I know one day we will meet again and laugh at all our memories like we always did. Never forget you were and will always be loved. It breaks my heart to know you're gone, I have lost a Cousin but gained an angel. Rest in peace Brian, I Love You Cousin.

Brian,
What is there to say that everyone hasn't already said? We'll all miss you. You were loved, more than you'll ever know. Your kindness and carefree nature are an aspect that I will always admire. I won't forget you. I'll always remember your shy/goofy smile and laugh, the way you would wave your hands between your head when trying to explain things, and the superman stance you would make when you walked into a room. It's sad to think I will never get to see you do those things again. Our memories can never give justice to the real thing, but they are all we have. That is why I will cherish every memory I have of you, no matter how small. I'll remember growing up together, swimming at Lupe's house as kids. The times you would come over to play video games and yugioh, and how you would steal tortillas when my mom was making them because you were too shy to ask for them. I'll remember when we had the same class together, and I told everyone you were my cousin and you turned all red. Most of all I'll remember the last time I saw you, when you beat me at ping pong. There are so many memories that I have of you, and I wish we could've continued making more. You were too young, but you're in a better place now, you've found peace and sooner or later we'll all meet again. Just know that I love you Brian, and I will miss you. Rest in peace cousin.

Mi querido sobrino Brian.                                                                                                                 difinitivamente no tengo palabras para describer el dolor tan grande que sentimos al saber que ya no te podremos ver mas ya no vamos a oir tu risa tu voz no te podremos abrazar mas.te vamos a extranar muchisimo ya nunca va a ser igual por que nos vas a hacer falta tu vamos a sentir tu ausencia.                                                                                                            nos dejas muy bonitos recuerdos a toda la familia en estos 19 anos que estuviste con nosotros siempre te llevaremos en el pensamiento y en nuestro Corazon.                                                                                               te nos fuiste demasiado pronto pero ya estas en un lugar mejor donde hay paz y tranquilidad yamor ya estas con  dios ahora eres un hermoso angel que del cielo nos vas a ver y sonreir.

Atte tu tia Blanca Martinez                                                                                que te quiere mucho y te llevare siempre en mi corazon

Brian mi primito,
se que has partido a un lugar mejor donde esta lleno de paz y amor, pero no hay palabras para este dolor que nos deja tu partida. este vacio que nos dejas ya no se llenara, tantos bellos recuerdos a tu lado, peleas de primos, trabesuras de ninos, tantas sonrisas llantos momentos que para siempre estaran en mi Corazon.

Yo se que desde el cielo nos miras y cuidas y aunque ya no estes fisicamente siempre estaras aqui con nosotros y cuando quiera platicar contigo solo tengo que mirar al cielo y me escucharas y se que vendras a secar nuestras lagrimas con un beso. se que partiste porque dios necesitaba un bello angelito a su lado, pero que dificil es para mi te extrano mucho. ya no tener tu precensia entre nosotros es muy dificil. 

Como olvidar la gran frase que inventaron jesus y tu "te pasas". todas las veces que disfrutamos juntos cosas chistosas.

Las cosas ya no van a ser lo mismo sin ti, nunca olvidaremos esa bella sonrisa tu alegria aunque eras muy timido siempre tenias una bella sonrisa en tu rostro.

Ahora ya estas disfrutando del paraiso al lado de nuestro padre Dios y desde alla nos cuidas y acompanas en todo momento.

Descansa  en paz mi primito querido Brian Paul Martinez Stephens

Strong, courteous, nice, handsome these are just a few words that describe how I know Brian and how I will always remember him. 
Brian remain everything I know you are and you will find peace. 
 Miss you and love you
 Your uncle Travis

Brian,
Mi querido sobrino y ahijado, te vamos a extrañar muchisimo, no tienes idea cuanto, te vas dejando un dolor enorme en nuestros corozones; tantas cosas que compartimos juntos en estos 19 años, paseos a Mexico, alegrias y tristezas, regaños, quinceañearas, piñatas cumpleaños, Navidades todos en familia- Ya nada va aser igual sin ti. Nosvas hacer falta tu risa y tu presencia, dejas un gran vacio en nuestras vidas y un enorme dolor. Dios necesitaba un angelito a su lado y le llamo a ti, yo se que desde el cielo siempre vas a cuidar de todos nosotros, siempre vas a tener un lugar especial en nuestros corazones. Dios te acompaña y te bendiga en tu viaje. Descanza en paz. 
Te quiere mucho tu Tia Madrina Lizde.
