Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I ONLY KNEW BRIAN FOR A SHORT TIME WHEN HE CAME TO WORK WITH US, BUT I COULD TELL IMMEDIATELY THAT HE HAD APASSION FOR THE JOB, AND A TRUE DESIRE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I WAS WITH BRIAN WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, TRYING TO COMFORT AND URGE HIM TO KEEP FIGHTING, BUT I GUESS HE HAD A MORE IMPORTANT CALL TO ANSWER. BRIAN WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME, AND AS LONG AS I LIVE I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM. BRIAN WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE......AND HE DID!

Brian was/is a great guy. Regardless of who you were he always showed you respect. My dad and I were his nemesis in football, we the Packers, him the Chiefs. We had great times together and seeing his picture now really strikes me hard. I know he is watching his son everyday and I hope God protects him so one day he too can protect and serve.

I trained Brian at Ft Jackson SC when he first became a MP. We were on the same squad for a while and then I went to Traffic. About a year later he came to Traffic and I had the pleasure of training him again. We lived in the same barracks for about two years. We party together off duty and fought side by side on duty. I saw Brian grow from a kid into a man. He will be missed forever. I can not express in words what it means to lose somebody you spent many hours in a car with, let alone lived with off duty. I am proud to have served with Brian.

I had an opportunity to work with Brian at Ft. Jackson as an MP. Brian was a very professional officer and a good friend. Brian had a great sense of humor and always had a smile on his face. Brian was a vigilant officer and had the love for the job that it takes to be a good cop. Even though I lost contact with Brian after I left the Army, I will miss him dearly as I am sure his other comrad's will.
