Your friend Nancy

Cuzzo, I will always remember going to the river with you, the beach, seeing you come to visit on the holidays. 💗 but one thing I will always remember about you is your love for animals all the animals you saved and took care of. You weren’t afraid of nothing you’d pick up snakes without fear 💕 you were such a brave person and that’s one thing I can never forget. You were an amazing sibling to Samantha and Zachary and an amazing cuzzo to me. You was always so funny and caring &  I’ll never forget you. I know your always here 😇

I loved Brian, he always had a bashful smile. Such a great guy. 
He is missed by many. Rest easy in the arms of the Lord. Your friend Nancy ❤

Brian, my best friend, you are so wonderful! My favorite times with you, are all the times with you! Long talks on the phone and onto drives and silly jokes. Loved going to the mall just to get the bourbon chicken at the food court. You are loved and missed by so many. Your big blue eyes, sweet smile and amazing personality will live on within my heart & others forever. I love you dear bud, always xoxoxox

The depth of sorrow from your passing is a testimony to the positive force you had on those who knew you. I get why people say, “There are no words”, particularly in instances such as this. You were a kind, gentle soul who should have had many more years to love and be loved. 

This piece of a Maya Angelou poem captures the anguish your passing has for us - 

I find it impossible to let a friend or relative go to that country of no return. 
Disbelief becomes my close companion, and anger follows in its wake.
I answer the heroic question ‘Death, where is thy sting?’ with ‘it is here in my heart and mind and memories’. 


The Kann family hey sorry for your loss I have a brand like he was my son he was always so nice and laughing I love my son so many years and yeah I said to him as part of your family and I said fine as part of my family then they went a different way became better people from that someone that made him a better man he always happy and  we will miss him. Rest in peace Brian


I am so lost of words, to hear of the passing of Brian. He was such a great guy. I remember him from Stop & Shop. He always had that beautiful , bashful smile
Even though I know he wasn't bashful. Brian was so full of life.  I remember him always being silly such a great sense of humor.  From what i seen he had a wonderful loving heart. I will miss him  very much. Rest easy Brian in the arms of the Lord.♥️

Dale, as I fondly call him was by far been one of the most SELFLESS,LOVING person I have ever met. I treated him  like my little brother since he’s the same age as my only brother. He calls me “sis” & God knows how much I will miss his voice calling me that. Dale, wherever you are I wish you know how much we love you. Thank you for all the fond memories..thank you for being so good to my son, Aaron. Thank you for being the best little brother anyone can ever ask for. I wish I had been there in your most difficult time to hold your hand & tell you it will be okay..Holding your hand  on that last night to say my goodbyes was one of the most painful,difficult goodbyes I ever had to say..
I will never forget how happy u were on your last birthday when Peter threw a surprise birthday party for you. You excitedly said that it was by far the best birthday you ever had. Little did we know that it will be your last birthday with us.  I don’t know when the pain over losing you will ever end..you will be in my heart forever..I love you with all my heart.

Your big sis,
Anna 

             I remember we went on a un planned trip to myrtle beach for about five days, we stayed in an ocean view hotel and had the best time ever, going to the arcade everyday, bar hopping down the strip. There was one we'll call it a ride that I told Brian there was no way in hell I was getting on it. It was the sling shot I said nope, no way. Of course if anyone in this world could convince me to do something I didn’t want to do it was Brian so after a few minutes of him begging me and taunting me I said fine I’ll go on it. We sat down and got buckled in. Next I knew it we were slung in the air and I was calling him most likely every bad word known to man. As the seat got pulled back down I looked at the guy and said “how much is it to do it again.” That was that up we went again higher than every hotel on the beach.  

           Baby, you may not be right here with me but I know you will guide me through the rest of my life and help me make decisions and which paths to take. I will forever love you with all my heart, you will never be forgotten. I love you always.

Cuz I'm gonna miss you. We will always share the same birthday. I love you cuzzo. Rest In Peace 

Brian dale, the son  I never had  with your aunt Gloria , But we both love you as if you  are our son. One day you came to me and told me you were afraid to leave rock hill and the family.  But I told you there is a whole big world out there just waiting for you to experience. Now that I don't have you  in my life in flesh  and body, I wish I could take it back, but that's just the  heart broken and selfishness I've been feeling for telling you to go to Maas with Pete  and start a new life for yourself. I know you had some great times and some  bad times but that's life anywhere you live. 
I know you love all your family and I know you love Pete  because you told me sooo many times. 
Brian  you  had so much to offer. 
BuBBA , WE WILL LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL OUR LIVES, BE AT PEACE SON WE ALL LOVE YOU. 

When Brian walked  into my store at Express I knew right away he had a great energy about him. When we sat down I said to him it’s a small group and a lot of us have been here and together for a long time and I hope that you’ll fall into our family to. He did he made a mark on us and he is part of this family. His smile was so genuine and as we worked together he was such a breath of fresh air for so many reasons. He and I had so many talks about any and everything ,mostly about Pete and my husband those two seemed to be so much alike and Brian allowed me to open up to someone like I haven’t in a long time. I will miss going to breakfast and us doing floor sets together. I will miss his smile his wanting and willingness to learn and to do anything and everything to help out and to truly want to be there and grow with the company. I had plans for him and a person like him doesn’t come around very often and I will hurt that he won’t be with me and miss him pushing me out of the way to say I got it don’t worry. He did he had it, he had so much. He was able to even get his husband to come work on the craziest day or the week and I loved being able to meet Pete and to learn so much about his dogs and his life in sc his mom all of it. The text messages he would send me threw out the days about something and usually it was something we were going to laugh at. He got me and I got him and I will never forget and I will always remember. You and Pete have friends and love from all of us at cape cod express and we will never forget you ever you  will always be apart of our express family always!!!!


I’m so sorry for your guys lost I worked with Brian I’m going to miss his jokes and positive attitude he was a great guy  

We would always stay up late talking about life when we had sleep overs. We told each other our deepest secrets. We always had each other’s back no matter where we went. We were going to be ghost hunters when we were kids. Always goofing around with our “witch craft” and trying to find out the worlds secrets! I always loved getting in the car and going on rides, just to get out! Blasting music and dancing. We made our own radio talk show and would sit for hours by the radio waiting on our favorite songs to come on to add them to our show. Walking on the beach at Myrtle Beach late at night and seeking our own adventures!! Our notebooks we would pass back and forth in high school between classes to keep each other up to date even though we always talked after school. I remember when you first came out to me and I could just see the relief in your eyes once you stood up for your own self the way you always did everyone else. On both sides of your family, you always made sure everyone knew how loved they were. I hope you knew how much we all loved you. Brian, thank you for everything. I can’t wait to see you later, Cuzzo. I love you. 

I remember when we were about 15 years old.... You, ash, me and my brother went to the apartments down the street from your mawmaw Shirley’s late at night to jump a fence and go swimming!! We had so much fun that night! There are plenty more but that one I’ll never forget!! I love you Brian and I’ll never forget you!!!  You were such a loving person! You’ll always be in our heart!! 

We would always go to the river in Columbia SC and float down the river or just look for wild life for him to play with since he loved animals so much. I remember the first time we drove up to Ma from SC, he was taking pictures of everything left and right pic after pic after pic. that was th epode time he did that every time we made that drive after that he just decided to sleep most of the way and I loved just having him next to me even though he was asleep and not having a conversation with me I still loved just looking over at him as he peacefully slept in the passenger seat. 

I'm going to miss you so much kiddo. You were such an awesome guy, you brought so much joy to so many people. Life is just not gonna be the same anymore. I will forever carry you in my heart. Rest easy sweetheart, I love you always.

I always enjoyed working with Brian and we had several inside jokes in the department which I will always associate with him. It was also great to be able to socialize with him outside of work. I  considered us friends and so did he. I will miss your quiet manner and beautiful smile. Rest in peace.

Brian, you were so incredibly good to Geoffrey which is something I never got to thank you for. You are 1/2 the reason he loved going to the Cape! I keep telling Geoff that you can hear him & that you are all around him, so I have to follow my own advice & I have to believe that you know how Grateful I am for who you are to my son! You are gone way too young & this hurts sooo many! Please help all that love you get thru this!

Words do not begin to Express the Pain you are feeling Peter, Geoffrey, Stacey, & the whole Family! I wish I could say anything to make this better. Please know that you all have my Deepest Sympathy!
