I miss you so damn much 💖
Happy birthday in heaven my love.
Sadly today we heard of the passing of Bryan. When we were younger we had a lot of great times and thought we would live forever. He was a good friend and he will be greatly missed. With deepest sympathy to Karen, Carly,Shannon, Blake and Sherri, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love and God Bless, Bill, Gail, Traci, Sheri, Shani and Families
I feel blessed and honored to be able to say Bryan was a lifelong friend of mine for over 40 years. Many of my fondest memories are times spent with this wonderful man. He was the kindest, smartest, loving, caring, funniest, easy going man I have ever known. I am especially grateful for the last few months. He was a fighter and tried very hard to stay on this earth but unfortunately loss the battle he so bravely fought. I could not possibly list all wonderful times and things Bryan and I shared but I can say I will never be the same knowing he is not walking this earth. To say he will be missed beyond measure would be a huge understatement. Blake, Karen, Carly, Shannon & family you are all in my prayers and have a place in my heart forever. REST IN PEACE my forever friend, REST IN PEACE.
I met Bryan in 1982 at The Times Journal in Springfield VA. Both of us were press operators on different shifts. We were married in 1989. He was a very smart, hard worker and giving man. His love of his life are 2 daughters Carly and Shannon. We separated in 2004 and divorced in 2008. At this time we realized that family was the most important gift and become friends again. He looked after us Pearl Girls. He always had my back like friends do. After starting cancer treatments I asked him to come camping with me. Told him you need to enjoy LIFE while you can. He was so happy to be outdoors and realized this is what he missed enjoying getting away. We went to 4 music and holistic festivals campouts since Dec 2017 and planed on doing many more. My boyfriend did not like camping and wanted me to go have fun. Neither men were jealous…. and was so lucky I was able to spend time with Bryan. Many ups and downs over 36 years but you had the biggest heart. You said years ago” I would give my shirt on my back for my family”. A generous and kind man. You made family #1. Your legacy is just that. Family is everything. Until we meet again AIR HUGS TO YOU IN HEAVEN.
Bryan was the brother of one of my best friends in high school, Blake. I don’t have any recent memories of him because I haven’t seen him for probably 35 years, but the memories I do have are good ones. He always seemed to have his head on straight and it was so easy to talk to talk to him. Its unfortunate that time gets away from us and we lose touch with great people. I’m sorry about that. My deepest condolences to Blake, Diane and all of Bryan’s friends and family. May he rest in peace.
Bryan, You were a great brother to Blake and to me as well as your “sister”. I enjoyed talking to you on the phone, our family relationship, and the good times we had. This past Thanksgiving, you blessed us with your company and we had a wonderful time. It will be strange not hearing your voice when answering the phone with a 239 area code. It’s ironic that I actually met you before I met Blake, my husband, shortly after high school. Blake joined the army after graduation in 1969 and after I met him 30 years later at a class reunion. I was able then to get a husband and you, another brother. I want to say that you were not only a good man, but you brought up to wonderful daughters, and had a brother and me that love you dearly and will miss you always. Love you “bro”, Diane
I am Bryan’s older brother Blake. Words alone can’t express the sadness in my heart with the passing of my best friend. We visited Bryan a few weeks ago in Florida as his condition worsened. My wife and I visited Bryan several times in the past few years as his cancer spread and he underwent surgery. It is heartbreaking to see such a great father and man pass away from this world way before his time. We invited Bryan to spend Thanksgiving with us last year in Virginia which he graciously accepted. We spent dinner together with my wife Diane, and I informed him well in advance he was not to enter the kitchen at anytime while my wife & I fixed dinner (I know he felt a little guilty about that). The very next day we drove to the casino at Charles Town, WV to play the slots, and he won big. It was so wonderful seeing him having such a good time. He commented that he could give his 2 lovely daughters Carly & Shannon a nice Christmas. Bryan I will miss our talks and love for one another. Love, Blake
Daddy, you will forever live in my heart.
Bryan was fun, back in our High School days. He and Mike Panosian (my cousin) had both enlisted in USAF. Back in HS Bryan had a Ford Falcon as did Mike and they would ‘mock’ race. As with so many people in our life, we lose track of each other….but the memories remain.Sad that Bryan has gone from this level, yet glad Bryan’s pain is done. Rest well.
