My thoughts and prayers go out to Brian, his family, and friends. I will never forget the road trip that Brian and I took, driving his VW Jetta from ASU to Elmhurst to meet his family, and then on to Eagle River. He will be missed but the memories that I have with Brian at ASU will last forever. God Bless to all.

I also am so sad to hear this news. I hardly remember anything about my confirmation other than the fact that I got to kneel next to Brian. So funny and good looking! I promise we didn't giggle out loud. My sincere condolences to his family.
