I met Bryan at the Rec Center and considered him a precious friend.  He was always so friendly and helpful and truly inspired me on my fitness journey.  Never went without talking to him if he was there.  He was truly a fine Christian man and was a joy to know.  My sincere condolences to his precious family❤️💔

Dear Brian, you were the anchor for us at the Waynesville Recreation Center. You provided us encouragement and help when needed. You provided us with good conversation., so we were not feeling the physical pain of strenuous workouts. For me, you were like an older brother who was there at Rec. Ctr.  to help me learn in any way you believed I needed. Thank you sweet Brian for all you gave to people. RIP❤️🙏

Brian and his family have been our dear friends for over 40 years.   Brian was a most compassionate man.   When you talked with him, he really listened and cared.   He could talk to young and old alike with ease    

Brian was very generous, not only with his friends, but also with strangers—even paying for a police, firefighter, or military man’s dinner while eating in a restaurant.  

Most of all, Brian loved his Savior, Jesus Christ, and is now in Heaven with Him.   We will miss Brian very much.

To the Grimm family, we are sending our love and prayers to you all in the homegoing of your loved one, Brian. His love for the Lord was evident always! What a reunion we will all have when Jesus comes for His Bride!! 🙏🙏🙏

I remember Brian so well his laugh and so much enthusiasm for life . He loved his family and his extended family as well .Love to his family I know he’s watching over them still!

Marie and family - I am so sorry for your loss.  I remember Brian as the drum major for the Pine Valley Royal tones Marching Band.  Such great memories.  Sending prayers and hugs. Brenda Young Hendricks

Marie, we were both so very sorry to hear about Brian’s transition. He was such a kind man, a joy to be around.  Hugs to you and your family.

Very few men have ever  demonstrated their faith as well as Brian. God, wife, family and friends, what a testimony. Rest easy my friend.

When I reflect back on my life, it’s hard to remember a time without your family in it    I considered your family my “bonus” family.  We shared vacations, holidays, celebrations, disappointments but mostly,  you shared your love for the Lord.  Brian was the most tender hearted man I ever met and he genuinely cared for people.    On more than one occasion, he looked me directly in ghe eyes and asked me how I was doing or he would shed a tear when I was going through a difficult time     I will be forever grateful to have had the chance to have Brian in my life and he will be greatly missed.   I love you all ❤️

Amy, Jim, and family 

We are praying for you all during this difficult time. We pray that you find peace and comfort. We are thinking of you all.

We held Brian in the highest esteem. He was tender, compassionate, and caring. Brian was a true reflection of the God that he knew and loved. We are assured that we will see him soon in heaven. With all our love and gratitude for all you’ve done for us. All our best to Marie, Amber, Amy and the extended family. We love you! Pastor Jamie & Becky Gardner
