Dear Karen and Robert, so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. The memories portion of this tells his story well, loved by family, one who gave to those around him , not only with his smile but with his abilities also. Our prayers are with you as the days ahead unfold. Rory  Sterk  Colo Spgs.

In the vast expanse of life’s ocean, there sailed a pirate named Brian, a man of courage and spirit, who charted his own course and dared to explore uncharted waters. His life was not one of still waters, but of thrilling waves and gusty winds, an adventure that echoed his soul’s yearning for the unexplored.

Like a pirate, Brian was fearless, not just in word, but in action. He embraced the sky, diving into the blue expanse with a thrill in his heart. The rush of wind against his face was his song of freedom. He was a snowboarder, carving his path on the snowy slopes, his laughter a melody that danced with the rustling leaves.

My own life and perspective has been influenced by the philosophy of Albert Camus, a man who understood the absurdity of life, yet chose to embrace it, to live it to the fullest. Brian understood that life, like the sea, is unpredictable and full of risks, yet he chose to sail on, to embrace the adventure, to live his life on his own terms.

In the face of life’s uncertainties, Brian chose to live, to experience, to feel the thrill of the dive, the rush of the snow, the freedom of the sea. He was a pirate, not of treasures, but of experiences, of moments, of life itself.

To Aunt Karen and Uncle Robert, your son was a beacon of light in the vast ocean of life, a pirate who dared to explore, to experience, to live. His spirit, his courage, his zest for life, will forever be remembered, will forever be cherished

In the words of Camus, “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” Brian was that invincible summer, a testament to the human spirit, a testament to the courage to live, to experience, to love.

May his spirit continue to sail on, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, exploring new horizons, embracing new adventures. For Brian was not just a pirate, he was a pirate of life, a man who dared to live, to love, to experience. And for that, he will forever be remembered, he will forever be loved.

My heartfelt condolences to Robert and Karen during this incredibly difficult time. Brian lived life to the fullest, embracing every moment with his generosity, kindness, and adventurous spirit. His vibrant presence brought joy and inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know him. May the cherished memories of his remarkable life bring you comfort and may you find strength in the love and support that surrounds you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Brian was more than just a cousin; he was a kindred spirit whose laughter and quirks are deeply ingrained in our hearts. Growing up, our closeness was evident not just in the way we joked or laughed, but even in the small mannerisms we shared, like sleeping with our knees bent in the air.
He had a unique way of celebrating life’s moments, like teaching me how to create a snake with my hands, or wishing a “Merry Day of Birth” instead of the usual birthday greeting. His humor was a source of joy, especially the brain eating spider that always made me laugh as a kid.
Brian’s presence was a gift, his life a series of memorable moments that continue to uplift our spirits. His departure leaves behind a legacy of joy and kindness that will forever be cherished.

Our deepest condolences to Brian's family and friends. Keeping you all in our prayers and wishing you some measure of peace during this difficult time.

-The Rolon Family
