Brian used to live basically around the corner from me in Claremore. We used to hang out a lot as kids and ride his mini bike all the time. Always such a nice guy not a bad bone in his body. The world is missing another great soul. Rest in peace buddy God bless!
Verna and Gary.
Condolences. I can’t imagine what you must be going through.
