I rarely get a chance to look at other fb profiles but I recently took a liking to read Brian’s newsfeed. I was moved by the genuine character he displayed of his beautiful wife and daughter. It was real.

Prayers to the family of Brian and the Nashville community. You will always be remembered brother! We love you <3

He really enjoyed making people laugh. In fact, it’s the last thing he did on this earth. He’d done a couple of shows with fellow comedian, Jon Reep.

As much as he’d loved comedy, his new family had changed his priorities. He’d expressed to me he no longer had the desire to go in the road for these shows. He simply didn’t like being away from his wife and child. His marriage had altered his priorities and being the man I’ve always known him to be, this was right in line with his values. He wanted to be there for them and any of his personal desires that would take him away, even for a few days would lose the battle. He’d decided he wanted to dedicate his life to those two beautiful ladies.

This was to be his last comedy road trip for the foreseeable future. He would always head to Zanies to host whenever he could.

He was not only a dedicated family man but also a very spiritual one. He served in leadership positions in his church including several years as a seminary teacher where he taught and discussed the Holy Scriptures to my son and many other children in our congregation.

He was the only friend I’ve had in my entire lifetime that I cannot recall a single negative moment. He took his trials in stride and was always kind. A more compassionate and loving man you will never find.

I pray for his widow and child. I pray for his family and other friends.
