Its difficult to sum up such an extraordinary person with words. Brian was an incredibly talented person, he was naturally great at everything. A fierce competitor, he would turn boiling water into a competition if he could. A star athlete and wicked guitar player he was highly intelligent with such a beautiful mind. Music and art were in his soul from a very young age. He ran around singing and dancing through life. Brian was very charismatic, he drew you in like a magnet. He would charm you with his wit and entertain with his humor. Everyone wanted to be around him, he made life fun.
These days Brian lived a much simpler life but it was a life he loved. He enjoyed listening to music, watching sports, fishing, running, biking and working in his garden. His soul was at peace living in the country where he loved to fish and garden.
