I fondly remember Brian as 'Bubby,' he was one of the most gentle souls I have ever met. It broke my heart to hear of his passing, people like him are rare. - Vanessa Coldwell

I had the privilege of visiting Brian at his home with MaryBeth Glasgow Schotting at Christmas time before he passed. Though he was on his ventilator, he was as funny and lively as ever. He was also in a really spiritual, peaceful place mentally. He was full of light and love. I will never forget that visit. He was a great guy. My favorite memory is "dirty dancing" (Truly just dancing!) with him at a party at Brent and Chris Williams house....we were interuppted when the cops showed up!!! Miss you Brian!

How aweful... I had no idea.
Bubby... a nickname I havent heard ever again. I remember Bubby dressed in a silly pair of sunglasses during "Beach Day" at Bolich.... You will forever be missed.
