Bryan was often my partner in drama. I remember Bryan becoming a close friend way back at MJHS. I was really proud of him when he was a guest DJ with the Uglies.
Bryan and I were good friends. Sometimes we fought like brothers. I remember the day he died. I remeber talking to him on the phone. He invited me to go swimming with them. I could not go. I remember getting the news the next day. My heart sank in my chest. It's an awful feeling loosing a friend at such a young age. I remember going to the movies at Park Plaza one time with Bryan and Darren Riggan. It was the last show and when the movie let out it was very late. We were parked on the bottom level of the parking deck. I was driving. Darren & I jumped in the car and locked Bryan out. We were just joking around and drove up a level or two in the parking deck acting like we were leaving him. We came right back down, but could not find him anywhere. We hollered for him and honked and drove around that parking deck & parking lot for about 30 minutes. We were freaking out. We finally drove out to his house in SWLR and knocked on the door in the middle of the night. He was already home. He said he walked, but he must have gotten a ride somehow. I felt real bad about that for a long time. I'm sorry. I miss you buddy.
Bryan and I were very good friends. We would spend the night at at each others houses and play video games all night long, eat rice crispy treats, and talk about all the girls we had crushes on but were too scared to ask out. I probably shouldn't tell this but we got drunk & sick for the very first time together. Ha!
I dropped Bryan off to meet his friends to go swimming that day. When he said goodbye to me I didn't know it would be forever. The last thing he said was "are you sure you don't want to go". Thinking back on it now that was the last thing Jeff Rainey said to me as he and Jeff Hunter dropped me off for school. My father woke me up before the sun rose the next morning to tell me that Bryan was gone. I was in shock and drove over to Mindy Spickes house and told her. We had all been friends for a long time. Everytime I play video games with my son I think about you man. You have been missed very much.
I have to drive by the cemetery where Bryan is almost every day and I think about him all the time. I will never forget the day we were told what happened. Absolutely horrible and surreal. We still toast Bryan whenever we are all together having a drink.
Bryan and I were friends since elementary school. I remember him always getting in trouble in 4th and 5th grade. He was the one that could never sit still ~ I know you all remember that. Then in Jr. High we had lots of classes together and remained friends. In high school we had drama together and I remember Bryan was so talented.
I can still remember getting the news about Bryan's accident and saying out loud "this can't be true, I know he could swim". I remember Bryan often and remind my own children that accidents can happen to anyone! RIP buddy you are missed by many.

Brian played on same baseball team when we were younger. He always closed his eyes when he would swing at the ball.Misty Garrett
