To Brian’s family, I wanted to pass along our sincere condolences from the other Brien’s family from St B. Sharing that space with you during that difficult time was such a comfort. Your stories, your laughs and your family support really helped support our family as well and for that we thank you. From the stories we heard, and the family that surrounded him on his last days, I can only imagine what an amazing and incredible man Brian was and know his spirit will stay alive with this loving family who will continue to share his stories and obvious sense of humour! - Posted by: Lisa Buchel (Friend) on: Jun 16, 2024

I grew up with my cuz, Brian, and Curtis and Val at my Granny's. He was a funny, easy going guy, and I'm so sorry to hear he has left us all. However, he is surely sitting at the right hand of the Father, is well, and just waiting for all his beloved family to join him. God bless, Brian.
