Sorry over your loss

saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your father, Kason–I remember you consulting him on some plumbing issues in my house! I hope you and your family let yourselves take comfort from each other in your grief and sorry and can talk about your many memories with him
We are deeply saddened to learn about Brian’s sudden passing, and extend our deepest sympathy to his family.
An amazing man..father..human being. A mentor for my children..a mentor for all those who saw him as a caring loving soul..we will all be together again some day..until then Brian you will be missed..
In this very tough time for Brian’s family I offer my sincere condolences.
It’s been 41 years since I last had the opportunity to coach Brian in football. Brian was one of the most memorable kids that I’ve coached when he was in High School. He inspired me as his coach. His enthusiasm, toughness, leadership qualities, speed and quickness made for a great combination, so much so that I created our defensive system around him. Our “Delta Split 6 with inverted umbrella coverage” could not have been successful without Brian at the core — he played a Safety (with deep pass coverage responsibilities) at 5 yards off the ball, heads up on the offensive Center, as a Middle Linebacker. The responsibilities that this defensive scheme asked of him were nearly impossible to handle – except for Brian. Every opposing team was fooled into thinking it impossible for Brian to cover the deep middle pass, while playing Middle Linebacker, and would fail in frustration trying to throw over the top of him to the deep middle. Brian’s love for the game – and his love for life – has inspired me ever since — so that, even though it’s been 41 years, I remember him as a bright shining soul as if it were yesterday. Thank you Brian for your inspiration of a lifetime. May the blessings be.
I was so sorry to hear about Brian’s passing. My deepest condolences to your family

Kathy, Kason and Cole, there are no words. When it comes to an idyllic couple and idyllic parents, Kathy and Brian were it. I first knew Brian when he worked at the (Allied) Coop when I was in high school and he was best friends with the late Pat Kane. They both had this beautiful quiet, safe, friendly and caring demeanor– it never surprised me that they were best friends. Then, a couple years later, I got to know Kathy during my senior year and always cherished her sweet soul. Finally, I was acquainted with Kason over two summers as he blessed me with his services. I was impressed with his young, beautiful soul, but not surprised knowing who his parents were. Most emphatically, though, I want to share an exchange I had with Brian about 2 or 3 years ago. We ran into each other at Corner Bar after an AFHS Basketball game and had a conversation about a mutual friend who was going through a divorce after a long marriage. Brian expressed his total misunderstanding saying how he was a “one woman man” and that when he met Kathy, he never looked elsewhere and would never jeopardize her, or his kids’, stability. Kathy, Kason, Cole: he loved you so much and if you keep that in your minds and hearts, you can get through this. I’m here if you need anything. ♥️♥️♥️
Kathy & Family , Except my deepest sympathy. Brian is your Angel now keeping you safe. God bless you in your time of sorrow amen RIP Brian.
So sorry for your loss
Kathy, Kadon, Cole and Family so very sorry for your loss. He was an amazing father and husband and such a huge part in so many kids lives through all the time he gave to others. He will be greatly missed.

May God family and friends comfort you during this difficult time. As you hold each other close remember your memories.
