Losing someone that we love never comes easy. It is a truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

Two things in my years of knowing Brian, are the love he had for his daughter, Emily. He was ever so proud to be her father. And the love he had for life.
He was always pressing upon others the importance of appreciating every moment of every day.
I feel blessed to have been part of your journey.
You will be deeply missed. Sheila R. Heinrich & family

Brian was about the most accomodating person I have ever known. He always offered his time and care to make things easier for me. He would give you the shirt off his back in a second. In fact the last time I saw Brian, he gave me the gloves off his hands, saying, "You'll need these riding that motorcycle". And I bet he worked the rest of the day without his nice leather gloves..... Rest in Peace my brother... thank you for enriching my life for the time we spent together. I appreciate you very much.
