I love you uncle Brian even though you weren’t my biological uncle I will miss you always 10+ yrs was a long time to know you. I just came home a year ago and was getting used to seeing you all the time when I was a work. I will miss you deeply and I promise I will keep the promises I made to you to continue bettering my life and doing what I need to. I can’t believe this is real I miss you like crazy and I about fell to my knees when I got the news at work which is the last place I ever saw you. FLY HIGH BRIAN I will keep turning that wrench for you. I will miss talking about beaters with you and shooting the sh#t, you always kept it real….

I’m saddened to learn of the death of Brian. I didn’t know him personally outside of work. He was one of my favorite customers at the Hamilton Marathon. He was always very kind. May his family find the strength they need to get through this difficult, sad time.
