Looking out at the water...
Wishing you were there with us...
Looking toward our future...
Wishing you would be there with us...
Looking into our hearts...
Knowing you are always there with us.

3 years without you here.
Never to get used to it.
Dreams to feel and have you near.
Never ever, to forget.
Always in the color blue.
Forever thinking of and loving you.

Brian I’ve known you most of my life you’re a little brother I adopted Chris and I talk about you often I will always cherish the memories I have with you rest in peace my brother until I see you again

Dear Brian, 
Your father and I think about you always and the good times we had together.  We miss you, every day with every breath we take.  We will never forget you; you are one of a kind, you always inspired everyone.  You were always, a happy teenager and liked sports, and when you played sports you were good at Wrestling, Soccer, Baseball.  We had no idea you were in a dark place; we didn’t see your pain; your father and I know of a dark place now it is called living without you.  You are in paradise; with God and with Jesus Christ your pain has gone away.  You were always a hard worker, you understood people, and your workers loved you and they will miss you as well.  You were always there for us when we needed you, you never let us down.  Brian, we miss you, we will never hold your hand, or see your face, or hear your laughter anymore.   Brian, your father and I are living without you now, it will take time to heal the wounds, but we will never forget you. 
Until we meet again,
From Dad and Mom


Brian, 
I can't believe you are gone, I keep thinking that you are going to walk into mom and dad house when I am there.  You where so loved by everyone, including me.  I will miss your smile, and your laugh, and spending time with you. I love you more then words can say.  
Goodbye my brother Brian,
Until we meet in Heaven 

Still cant believe that you are gone.....you were what many aspire to be.....I'm so happy to have shared 15 plus years of friendship with you...only wish it was more than 10x as many...There will absolutely never be another like you ....but the world needs a million more of you.......you will be missed but never forgotten.

Brian was my Uncle and also a Great Uncle to my 2 kids, and just as it says he was a great uncle. 
Even though living far away , whenever I would see him we would pick up where we left off. He was so carefree and goofy and always made everyone laugh. He could cheer anyone up. Brian loved the beach and my last memory of him that I will think of ,will be him lounging in his beach chair with a beer in hand, relaxing and taking in the ocean breeze and sun. I will miss the talks we had and the way he would make me laugh. Even the short time he knew my children, Brian made such an impression on my daughter. 
Brian, I will miss you very much and I have so many memories I can take away with me. I love you Uncle Brian! I will always think of you until we meet again. Rest in Peace. 
Love Jessica, Kendall & Caleb.

Death.....
Is that Stage,
That exists
Only in the Memory of others.

....So suddenly gone,
But not forgotten.
Rest in peace, my Dearest Friend,
Until we meet again!

             Ceil

LETTER FROM HEAVEN 

Hey everybody,
I hope this doesn't reach you too late.
I don't want you to worry,
Because life up here is great.

I can't wait for you to see the beauty of heaven,
But I know it's not your time.
I really miss you guys, 
But I know you'll be just fine.

You know I can see you, right? 
So please stop shedding tears.
You guys, I'm perfectly fine, 
So conquer all your fears.

I'll be watching your every move.
Relax! I won't spill your beans.
But stop all those naughty things you do,
Because you know there's nothing He can't see.

I need you to come here to meet me, 
But not if you misbehave,
So please keep God in your heart,
And you'll be safe and saved.

Hey guys, I know you miss me.
It's really hard not to.
But please, please stop grieving,
Because you're making me sad too.

You guys have been a great family, 
And I am truly blessed.
You've raised me through my earthly life;
Now God will do the rest.

He's really a great person,
And an even better friend,
So I'm in great hands,
And on Him you can also depend.

Oh boy, I'm getting carried away.
I want to say so many things,
But I really have to go now,
Because today I'm getting my wings.

Bye, you guys; love you forever and a day!

P.S. Be good!

Brian, it’s been years since we last saw each other. I remember you so well though! Such a jokester and always bringing humor and laughter to the gatherings at your sisters house. Your smile was infectious! You will be missed by all of your family and friends. I’m happy to have meet you! Rejoice in Paradise my friend! Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers throughout the grieving and healing process!

I know I haven’t seen you in awhile but when I got the news it hit deep to find out a person with a soul like yours is no longer With us you we’re a cool funny guy who made anybody laugh even when talking bad about my raiders lol you we’re an angel on earth by treating people the way you did and you are an angel now looking down on your loved ones until I see you again fly high and keep smiling Rest In Peace 

It sucks I have to write this and Im sorry this is the only message I've sent you in a while, but I'm glad I got to see you not too long ago. Even though we always lived so far apart when we got to spend time together it always seemed like we were so close. Always smiling and having a good time. We will have another drink together in time.
Rest in peace Uncle Brian.
Miss you and Love you


From the bottom of my heart I ask the Lord for strength for the Merz family. I want too say today, what I may never espress. It was an honor for me to shared 13 years. That your departure has left a burning candle in me . And somewhere in the infinite where you are I want to say thank you and I will never forget you. RIP GOD BLESS YOR SOUL. 

I’ve had the great opportunity to know Brian and call him my friend, Brian was always there for everyone that was close to him, he was great to talk to and had great wisdom and humor. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May you Rest In Peace my friend. You will be missed. 

Brian,
          It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. If Tears Could Build A Stairway, and heartaches make a lane. We'd walk our way to heaven and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, and death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.
             I miss you Bry!
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. You will always be with me. I miss you a lot brother wish you were still here.  See you when I get there!
              Rest in peace.
                              Susan

Revelation 14:13
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”


John 14:1-2
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?


1 John 3:2
2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.


Romans 8:18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.


Luke 20:36
For they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

Brian was my uncle and was a great uncle to my 3 children. He was around since I was small and always has been a joy to be around. Brian would make everyone laugh and always was the center of the party. He was always there to put a smile on anyone’s face, and was such a caring and amazing person. I will miss you and your smile dearly. I love you rest in paradise.

Our prayers & condolences to the Mertz family. 
He will be dearly missed. I’ve worked with Brian for the last 6years . He was the bridge between the San Diego & LA members. When I was a steward he’s the 1st member I would talk to .. he brought light ,knowledge & comedy to any issue . 
His presence will be dearly missed. Rest In Peace brother. 

To one of my best friends from back in the day, you are missed and I feel the lost. Glad we were able to connect again last year.
Fly high and be at peace.

Joel Nucifore

Brian would always look after our dogs and the house when I was away. 

Ben Slikker 

We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the Merz family. 
Anybody would be blessed to know Brian. He was smart, funny, understanding, and just really cool to be around. Now that he is suddenly gone I realize how fortunate I am to have known him. 
For my part, I love my friend, I miss my friend, I will remember my friend Brian.  Rest in the peace of Jesus Christ brother. This house prays for you.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
                                                                     The Gospel of Matthew 5, 3-4

Brian, 
Your earth life has changed directions  and you are now free 
of all pain in your new life. 
You will be missed so much by your parents, siblings, family members and friends. It was my pleasure to know you. 
Fly free, drop a penny from heaven once in a while so everyone will know you are happy. 
Hugs & Love 
Rosalie Andersen 

IN YOUR LIFE YOU TOUCHED SO MANY ,
IN YOUR DEATH MANY LIVES WERE CHANGED. 
** FLY FREE **
