Never got to meet him, he has given me great advice through various FB chats as well as on here. Sounds like the world is losing a good individual. Prayers are with his family.

Few people had as strong of a competitive spirit as Brian. Every day you spent next to him made your life better.
I can not imagine how much the lives of those who were blessed enough to spend every day with him will be changed.
Good night Brother, the tracks will miss you, the racers will miss you.

I met Brian 3 years ago at finals weekend in Ohio. Became friends with him and his dad and have kept in touch since. We made the trip from Indiana to Alanama for the benefit race. Last year I helped him at the Grand Rapids indoor race. I will always remember one of his trips he made to Chicago for chemo he stopped by and raced with us during one of our 2 day shows. After having chemo on Thursday, he was there to race on Friday and Saturday, that is something that always impressed me. You will not be forgotten Brian.

I bought a motor from Brian 3 years ago so spent some time on the phone with him and several emails, we stayed in contact and he was good and honest man. The world could use a few more like him!

MY PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY. I NEVER MEET BRIAN BUT WE DID TALK MANY TIMES, WITH BOTH OF US BEING TREATED FOR CANCER, WE HAD ALOT IN COMMON. I REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH HIM [AND HE UNDERSTOOD ME TOO]. UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT, IT'S HARD TO REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW BRAVE HE WAS! I WILL MISS HIM, HE IS BY GODS SIDE. GOD SPEED BRIAN!  [WITH A TEAR]

Arrangements for Brian:
visitation will be Friday 5-8pm, and service at 11am Saturday all at Elkins East Chapel, 7435 Highway 72, Killen, Alabama 35645.
Burial will take place at a later date because Brian's wish was to be cremated.
