Thinking of you today BJ! I love and miss you! 


    I just happened upon this link while surfing around my boyfriends page and thought i should write b cuz i definately loved Bj. Both of us did. Me and Virgil Sharpe were very close to Bj and spent alot of our time with him. This is such a tragedy b cuz Bj was such a great person. He had an unlimited amount of love go gibe and was always helpng everyone out. He will be missed greatly.

Barry, Diana and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss, please know you will all be in our thoughts and prayers. 
Love, 
Todd, Amy and Travis Simmons

I met Bj a few years back while he was dating a friend of mine.  Unbeknownst to us for a long time, that we were actually cousins by marriage.  My uncle Pete was married to Bjs mother some years ago.  Barry, thank u for always being there for me since our friendship started years ago.  If I was ever in need of a shower or hungry you were always quick to feed ME my favorite cereal ..we LOVED OUR COCOA KRISPIES!!! U ALWAYS opened ur home for me when no 1 else would help me out.  We talked just a couple weeks ago and u once again offered me a room in ur home and how I wish I would have taken ur offer.  We could've helped each other a lot.  Maybe ...possibly...these series of events would've been different.  I know I cant sit here and contemplate what ifs or I'll drive myself insane.  I know that my world just got a little lonlier... 1 person who truly cared for me and my wellbeing is gone , my friend is gone and this world is going to be a darker place for me now as I have no 1 to take care of me or offer me a roof over my head anymore.  1 thing bj and I talked about a lot was me staying in his extra room permanently so that I could have a safe home for my children to visit me at.  He was wanting to help me get my kids back eventually and that meant so very much to me Barry.  I cannot thank u enough for everything u have helped me with and were goin to help me with in the future.  The last time we talked I was supposed to come over so we could fig out the living situation and of course run it by ur mom.  Bj sure loves u mom!!! He spoke highly of u often and I cannot fathom the pain that you are goin thru from losing your baby.  But I pray for u ..I pray that God heals ur heart as much as it can be during this time and that u find comfort in God as u are asked to cast ur worries and despair and pain and anguish upon him and let him take that from you.  I pray that he does steadfastly.  MOM..I want u to know that ur son was not just my cousin but my close friend & Imissh

To the family, our prayers are with you during this time  of bereavement.   Please know that we are here for any level of support that is needed.
Respectfully, the Michelin Family.

May God bless yall and comfort yall in this heartbreaking time. I grew up with BJ and he played a huge part in me finding the Lord. I spoke with him several times after about Jesus and I know he made it to heaven. I am praying for your family and thinking of you daily. 

My heart is simply broken. Barry & Vicki and the rest of the family, I simply cannot fathom the grief you are experiencing. My prayers are for you at this time. I Love you both and am asking God to comfort you.

My nephew BJ was a cutie pie from the day he was born. I loved his smile and enjoying making him laugh. He was a good kid. I regret that living at a distance prevented us from seeing each other more often.

BJ, I love you and will forever miss you and hold you in my heart. 

"Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope though grace, May He comfort our hearts, and establish us in every good word and good work." 2 Thessalonians 5: 23,24

I don’t know him , but prayers for his family and friends! May he Rest In Peace ❤️  From Atlanta to South Carolina... 

Have only known Bj for a few years 
But had become one of my best friends 
We traded parts for motorcycles and fourwheelwes regularly
He was a very knowledgeable young man who taught me plenty 
Bj was one of the best people I knew 
He was always willing to help someone out without expecting anything in return 
Those types of people are rare and not found in this world to much anymore 
I'm very saddened by his very sudden and tragic death 
To his family I am very sorry for your loss no words can express my deepest sympathy to you all in this very troublesome time 

BJ I have not seen you since you were a little fellow. May you Rest In Peace Cuz. Sending love and prayers to the family.  

There was never a dull moment around Bj his smile  would light up a room he always hugged me hello and see you later we are cousin's so we spent many weekends at our Grandma's house where many times bj  went skating on Friday night he couldn't wait to tell  me of his time with the pretty young ladies there  when we we were together we liked to jam to  Nelly  on CD or by radio! other times we caught a show of sports on tv where he loved  to explain everything about Dirt bikes or four wheelers I will sorely miss him until we meet again Bj will forever be in my head love you Cuz until we meet again Fly high!

 



Just would like to express my condolences.  May he rest in peace. 

BJ I can remember spending every summer with you at granny’s house. We would wake up and go to the pond, made trails through the woods for our bikes, and even do stupid stuff like jump into papas trash hole and try and see who could get out faster. I think about how you use to do stuff to make me laugh so hard. Your funny little laugh when you use to do when you knew you were being dumb! I remember the time we made teepees behind granny’s dog shed. The memories I have with you I could write a book! I miss you so much. I will forever keep you in my heart. I love you! 

You were such the cutest brown-eyed beautiful smiling little boy and I can still see you and Kayla playing in the yard  at the Ponderosa rest in peace BJ you will be truly missed
