I am deeply saddened by Brain's passing. I loved coaching him in football at Galesburg High School. Not only was he an outstanding player, but more importantly, he was a great teammate. We had a great brotherhood on that 1991 GHS team and he loved his teammates like brothers. He was as tough as nails, and I was blessed to be his coach. Coach Chris Stiles

I was shocked when I read of Brian's passing. I have such fond memories of Brian back in his Springfield IL days . Car busineess then Conseco. He was fun and full of life .Even though the path we crossed was a short one it holds fun and meaningful memories ! My thoughts, prayers and sadness to family and friends I know your loss was deep. At least he is greeted by love ones in heaven and can rest in peace . May you all find strength in each other and heal from your pain! God Bless !
