Rosemary, Gary an d Kevin, I am so sorry for your loss. What I knew of Brian, he was always a quiet guy, very respectful. He did a few DJ jobs for us and everyone loved him. He just was that kind of guy. There are no words that can comfort the loss of a child. May he rest in peace and be assured he is with God Heaven. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
🙏🏽
Rosemary,
My heart hurts for you and your family. I knew Brian very well. He was my brother Freddy’s friend. They bonded over their unbreakable love for the Dallas Cowboys. Now they will be together again. 💔
Dear Rosemary, Kevin and Gary,
Our sincere prayers and thoughts are with you as you mourn the loss of your beloved son and brother. Take the time you need to grieve keeping in mind that Brian brought you must happiness and gave of himself unselfishly. You are forever in our prayers.
With our deepest and heartfelt Sympathy,
We are so very sorry for your family’s loss. Losing someone so unexpectedly is very tough and heavy on the heart. Our prayers go out to your entire family during this period of grief. ❤️❤️❤️
Rosemary, my prayers are with you and your family. Love you.
Rosemary,
As a mother my heart breaks for you. I knew Brian well. He and my brother Freddy were very good friends and shared a love for the Dallas Cowboys football team. My brother passed away in recent years. I am confident Freddy will be waiting for Brian with open arms to welcome him home.
Although my time with Brian was brief, he left a quiet but lasting impression. He was always polite, incredibly hardworking, and deeply respectful. I admired how calm he was, especially given how scary being on the phones as a new hire can be.
Even in a short time, it’s clear when someone has a good heart. He was one of those people. I will keep Brian, his loved ones and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him in my thoughts and prayers.
May he rest in peace.
I worked briefly with Brian at Citizens. His humor and spirit was a shining light here. Our team will miss him.
My condolences are with his family.
RIP.
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. What a lost of a great man.
In Loving Memory of Your Brother, Brian
(A poem of sympathy and remembrance)
In the silence where his laughter lived,
We search for words we cannot give.
A voice so warm, now still and gone,
Yet in your hearts, he lingers on.
The loss was sudden—swift and deep,
A precious bond that time can’t keep.
But memories will gently stay,
And guide you through each grieving day.
A brother’s love is never lost,
It echoes on, no matter cost.
And though he’s gone from earthly sight,
His soul shines on in endless light.
Gary, Kevin and Ms. Rosemary, With deepest sympathy,
May peace find you in time, and may his memory forever be a blessing.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of Brian. I pray that your family finds comfort in God’s presence and all the memories over the years. May God bless and keep you in Jesus Christ name Amen.
Gary and Rosemary
