Brian was a nice young guy and worked for me on the ranch. He was a hard worker and could do anything he put his mind to. One never knows when he is taken and in his case too soon. My condolences to your family I know they will miss you.

To the many members of Brian’s family my heartfelt sympathy and prayers are sent your way. I remember that “smile”… if someone was having a bad day all they had to do was look at Brian and he’d just smile and it made everything you were going through so much better. He was just a great guy to hang out with and always made people laugh. He will be missed!!!
