Brian I have so much to say you meant a lot to us all anyone and everyone that know you new that you are one of a million I miss you so much there is not a day that goes by that I dont think of you and wounder about you kids. I knew when you and I last talked that was going to be the last time so when I told you that you will always be in our hearts I was speaking the truth. We Love you and Miss you so much May God Bless You. Thank You for being in our lives My girls and son-in-laws miss you as much as Danny and I do Love You Brother

Coach Bailey,

You were the best/my favorite coach I've ever had hands down and LaVon is a great guy so I know you were a good father. It's extremely tough to hear about your passing. My thoughts and prayers are with your family!

Still so hard to see this!   I am missing YOU soooo much!    No more everyday texts from you....just can't believe that your really gone.  Keep waiting to hear my phone go off with one of  your texts....I miss you more than you'll ever know!!  I will love you always.

Brian was a high school classmate back in Kansas. He was the coolest upper classman - he was very much like an extra big brother. He seemed to have an easy laid back & positive attitude that pit people at ease.

It was great having gotten back in touch with you these past few months - and I am struggling to accept that you are gone. But God has a plan - and I know he must have needed you in heaven more because your work here was finished. God bless and keep your family & friends. Grant them peace and comfort in the days to come. Amen.

Love Always your niece Joannie Merrifield

Tina and family:
We will always remember the good times we had at Willy (WAFB).  Brian always had a joke or story to keep us all laughing.  He was always there to lend a helping hand no matter how busy he may have been.  Brian, our friend and co-worker will be greatly missed.  Sorry we were not able to attend the services.  Please accept our deepest sympathy, our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.  May you all find peace in God's love and may He guide you through the coming days.  With all our love.

Brian,
You always were and always will be a friend. Seeing you was always one of the higlights of going to the Leona Group offices.  I miss you and wish you the peace you deserve.

I had the pleasure of working and laughing with Brian at MCRSD #509.  He loved to eat good food, He loved to cook good food, He loved to laugh and enjoy life.  I will miss chatting with him and reminiscing about the good times at work and at play we shared. 
May God hold his precious family close during this time of grief and rememberance.

Brian was the type of guy you could depend on; Brian was loyal and committed and would never hesitate to help out a friend.  I will remember Brian as the guy who took me to my first Cardinal's game, the guy who drove me home at 3 am and stopped at Ihop on the way there.  I will always remember Brian's unique laugh and the many cigars we had together.

Brian I started the whole "Big Black" thing. Im going to miss you forever!!! You were a close friend to not only my family, but I myself have considered you a friend and i still have not accepted the fact that you left!!! My heart is on the floor. Tears sting my eyes. What can I do? What can I say? How can I help? The death of a friend, or what i considered you, a relative puts the brakes on to our busy world. We have an urgent need to "DO SOMETHING....-ANYTHING!" We find ourselves wringing our hand, afraid we might cause more hurt. Not knowing how to show our love and concern, not sure what to say or do!! i miss you already dawg. I can honestly say that you have made a VERY big impact on my life and just knowing you are gone BREAKS my heart. I am first hand experiencing a variety of feelings which make me feel especially vulnerable. R.I.P you will be forever missed!!!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bailey family.  May you find comfort in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior in this season of grief.

Brian treated our son with respect and dignity on and off the football field.  He was truly one of the most respected coaches our son has ever had.  He will be deeply missed.  Our condolences to his family.

you left me too soon, yes i will be selfish and treturous you are my world i love you more than i can ever express you are such a positive part of my life maybe i never told you i loved you every day but in your heart i hope you know that i am there for whatever you need here or gone i will always cherish our time and our love ....I MISS YOU DAWG.

I will dearly miss my friend Brian. I've known Brian since 1996 and have found him to be one of the most loyal and true friends anyone could have. Brian was always there for his family, friends,and even people he hardly knew. Brian had integrity and good will toward all. The quality of this world slipped a notch or two the day our friend departed. My hope is that we can all appreciate what Brian added to our lives and that we can continue to strive to be better people because of his many examples. Heather, Sydney, Tatumn, Gordy and Helen and I love you Brian - take care and God Bless,
Kerry

Brian You were a awesome person and Coach. You will be missed. Coach B and Samantha. ( Mesa, Az)

I remember you doing the Bill Cosby dance and always saying the call you brown suga LOL I will miss you R.I.P. You were a good brother-in-law love you man.

We enjoyed getting to know Brian during the years he helped coach our grandson, Jayb.  Brian's love and knowledge of football rubbed off on all of the boys.  
We also enjoyed his humor and the tasty ribs he often brought when he would join the parties at our daughter's home.  Always wearing sunglasses, indoors and out.  No one will ever forget that about him.  He always had a hearty laugh and big grin.
He will be missed by all.
With our deepest sympathy,
Gary and Pam Kostelny

                                                                                       R.I.P. Brian Bailey

Brian you were a good friend always making me laugh and great to have around the office. Even when I left Leona you were still in my thoughts, I would laugh every now and then thinking about the things you would tell me and do.  Love you and miss you Brian.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Brian was the best and I will always love him.
love kamyle

love you all.

Brain was my favortie person to be around. I will miss him! :(
Love You all!

My prayers are with your family at this sad loss.

No matter what you always had a quick smile when I stopped by your office, even though you knew I had more work for you.  Your laughter, I will remember the time I tried to give you season passes to arena football and I told you I had some, but was not a fan, you just shook your head and laughed, not in a mocking way.  I will miss you. My prayers are with your family.

I will miss Brian's good humor, his smile and laugh and his good natured banter.  My condolences go out to all of his family and friends.  He was rich with both. May he find peace in God's embrace.  I miss you Brian.

Brian you will be missed by many family and friends. You will always be in our hearts. The Longoria Family

I am so sorry to hear of your families loss. Know that you all are in my prayers.

Brian will be missed.  I will remember his quick wit, and his bright smile.  God Bless.
