Brian was special to many people. He was a loving and generous fiancee, grandson, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, friend, and boss. He had a whip-smart sense of humor and loved making people laugh. He loved haircuts, shoes, football, the outdoors, FRO, adventure, his fiancee, family, friends, co-workers, and his country. He looked forward to his future business plans, his wedding, to becoming a dad, traveling, and to a long, happy, healthy, and laughter-filled life with his loved ones. Brian leaves a cherished and indelible mark on all our lives and we are forever changed by his passing. He would want us to remember him and to live our own lives with love, playfulness, and enthusiasm. No regerts.
