It's hard to know what to feel when you lose a father you didn't know.
I had only met Brian a couple times in my 41 years of life, I had spoke to him on the phone a few times over the years since then. He was very kind to me.
My condolences go out to all of his children and grandchildren, his sister and mother.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
RIP Brian - hopefully in the after life we will meet again.
Sincerely,
Jenny (daughter)

Though I never really knew my dad Brian Lee Walls,I have to say being woke up at 1:00 in the morning with the news of his passing has left me saddened and unable to fall back to sleep. The couple times I met him in my 43 years he was nothing but kind and generous! Sometimes wish I would have known him better! My sympathies go out to my grandma Marilyn and others that knew him better than I did. Until we meet again Rest in peace dad!

BRIAN'S FINAL RIDE
Down all the highways that Brian has traveled. Driving his truck on black top, concrete and sometimes gravel.
On every journey driving across the nationwide.
Angels were quiet passengers riding by his side.
Watching over him as he trucked down the road. Keeping him safe hauling each and every load.
Many miles God has kept him between the lines. To keep a truckers obligation to deliver on time.
As the angels protected him from wind, rain and cold .
Jesus has come for Brian to travel down one last road.
Lighting the final path with the stars and the moon.
Brian will reach his final destination soon.
Never again will he have to travel alone.
Jesus is now his passenger for long journey home.
Rest in Peace, your little sister

Marilyn & Daleen, I am sorry to hear of Brian's passing. While I didn't know him well, he was nice the times we saw each other during my driving days at Marshall Motor Coach. May your good thoughts carry you through this sad time.

Rick and Rian I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I have known your dad since I was in the fifth grade. He was a groomsman in Tommy's wedding and an usher in our wedding. Mike and I always had a good time with your dad. When we were kids we used to do a lot of things and we used to camp and double date. I am so glad I got to see your dad at the RV park Rick when you brought him over to see all of us. Your dad and my brother Tommy have got to be talking about cars by now. Until we all meet up again Brian---rest in peace.

Brian use to 2 man with my husband Tom O'Conner years ago when we owned our own truck. At the time he was with Patty Seidkrantz, he was all business even the funniest, we lost contact with him, but talked about him a lot. May he rest in peace. Thinking of the family at this time.
