In the early morning on Wednesday September 3rd, 2025, our family heard the dreadful news of our brother Brian’s passing. During this time of mourning, we reflect on our short time we have had with our brother. Brian was the only boy in our all girl family and was the second oldest.

Our oldest sibling, Stephanie, says people who knew Brian would happily say how friendly he was and that he knew everyone. He loved talking to anyone who would listen, cracking jokes and making them laugh. On every Mother’s Day, Brian would always dedicate the day to Stephanie and always told her how lucky he was to have her as an older sister because if it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t know where we all would be today after our beloved mother passed away in the fall of 1989 had she not taken all of us in and raised us.
