I worked with Brian for many years. 

He was my teammate, and my memories of him are surrounded by nothing but good times. 

Brian and I clicked really well because of our geekdom, and when we weren't having lunch together or working alongside one another - he was making people laugh. He had a unique sense of humor and even after I left our work, I stayed in contact with him here and there. 

Eventually those days faded, and our friendship grew apart but he was a good soul, and a good dude whose signature laugh can still be immediately recalled in my mind. 

When I heard the news of his death, I was shocked. He was one of those people that was impossible to forget, and the kindness that he showed me in learning the ropes at the job and as a friend outside will always be remembered. 

I'm sorry you had such health problems. I'm sorry we grew apart. I hope in your last moments you had no regrets and you went out in complete peace; 50 is too young. Too short.  

We only get that short amount of time on this earth, and I want you to know somewhere out there that we're still talking about you. That you brought laughter to others, and for the years that I knew you - You were my friend. 

Love you man, rest easy now.

Rest easy knowing that you were loved.

He was my prom date!  A great singer as well. RIP

Hello Family of Brian,
Brian worked for me at Delta Dental for many years, even when times were stressful, he could always make me laugh.   We both shared our stories of our cats and the crazy things they were up too.  After my mother passed my family gave him some of her kitchen and house hold items as he needed to setup a new apartment.   He worked for me when he had his first medical issues, and our phone calls even then he would find a way to make me feel better as I was worried about him.   I lost touch with him when I changed jobs but I will aways remember his laugh when I think of him.
