With deepest sympathy to Brian's family for their loss. He will truly be missed. His life was cut way too short. He was one of my favorite cousins. What a great guy. Fly with the angels Brian

 A death of a son leaves a void that cannot be filled. No one can ever take   the place of this individual in the world. When you lose someone it can be hard to take the pain that you feel when your heart has to break the memories you keep are all in your mind as you search your  soul for more to find …

 Our eyes filled up with tears as we hear your name,it never occurred to me, how much we could lose.

 We find our self wishing that it wasn't real every time we think about you, pain is all we can feel…

The days without you are lonely, the nights without you are cold, but even though you are gone  now, that burning passion will never grow old.

No matter how near or far apart we are, you will always right there in our hearts.
Always remember whatever we go through, no matter what, We will always love you "Brian".

The Marine's Prayer

Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will.   Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones and Thee without shame or fear.   Protect my family. Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm.   Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance.   Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me.   Make me considerate of those committed to my leadership.   Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold. 

If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. 

Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.  

AMEN. 

These past few days of hearing family and friends telling stories of Brian, reminded me of this prayer.  Brian truely lived his life with honor.  Semper Fi
