Losing my brother at such a young age has been hard. I will remember Brian the last time I saw him. He was happy and healthy. Going to be hard to move forward without Brian being around. Brian will be missed. Nice to see his friends and extended family have been so supportive of Brian over the years.

Thank you Brian for all you did for my son, Jayce, and his dad. You were such a big part of the Wright's lives. You were one of the most giving men I knew. I will never forget the cross you built for our cat, Jaylee Lynne, just out the kindness of your heart. You truly were one of a kind. I know that my son will have an extra angel up there watching over him. How lucky is he. You will be missed Brian.

Papa you are one of the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You did more for me and my family than I could repay in 10 life times. The world will never be the same. I will wait everyday for the rest of my life to hear your keys come up my drive way just one more time. There is not a man on earth that will ever fill those shoes.
Love your daughter-in-law forever!

Society has truly lost an awesome person. Your friendship will be greatly missed. I find relief knowing my father (Joe) was standing right there to welcome you home. May you be at peace. God Bless, keeping your thought and family in my prayers always.
