Opperman family,
Tom & I were farm neighbors and also 1975 classmates at Manning, Iowa.
I read about the passing of Brian in the Manning Monitor newspaper and was sad to read about the loss of someone so young.
While most people here in Manning won't know Brian they are familiar with the Opperman family history, and I put a little tribute to them on my Manning history web page.
For those of you interested in some pictures of Tom's Manning family this is the web address.

Tom, Rose, Katie, & Missy- My heart is sad for the loss of Brian. He was a true friend to all. I have known Brian since we were little and have many fond memories of him. He could always make you smile, always make you laugh, always keep you from being board.....wether it was at school, running around with him, or just hanging out...he was always there. Brian you have forever changed everyone lives you have touched in such a positive way. It has been great to know you, share memories with you, and call you my friend. My you all find peace, cherish the many great memories, and hold strong to one another. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Kari, Angelica, Angeline, Dougie, and to all those that have been touched by Brian's thoughtful, helpful, caring, kind, and loving heart and soul, my deepest heartfelt condolences to all. Brian has and always will be one of my husband Eddie's, closest and dearest friends. They have been friends since middle school and been through some rough patches together and lots of good times as well. Kari, your family has become our family and we love you all dearly. He will be missed greatly. Hold your babies close. We are here for you whenever you need a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, or just needing a much deserved break. You have always been there for Eddie's and mine family, it's now our turn to be there for you.
