I didn’t personally know Bryan,
But I do know that he was loved
reason I know this is because I’m friends with someone who’s suffering the loss of this man today.
My heart goes out to each and every one of you who are feeling this pain. The loss of someone so dear to you can be devastating. But I also know that when we lose someone dear to us, they never truly leave. Bryan will be with us in spirit always and he wouldn’t want us to cry.
He would want us to move forward and Conquer this world.
WITH A FEARCE FIRE INSIDE, LOVE YOUR LIFE.
My sincere condolences.
I lost my daughter too. She was only 38
There’s no worse sorrow,
But, like I said, she wouldn’t want me crying
Her favorite saying was do what makes you happy. They want us to be happy.
I know this because, if the shoe where on the other foot, that’s what I would want for them.
May God bless you today and everyday forward may you find strength and courage and healing in this time of loss.
My love to Bryan’s loved ones. We grew up together, I have very good memories of him! So sorry to hear about your loss.
I’m sorry to read this. Bryan was the man. Always had something interesting to talk about. Many great memories. My condolences to his family and many friends. Rest in PEACE!
My deepest sympathy to Bryan’s family. Through the memories may he always bring you smiles and remind you of the love that will always be there.
I Loved Bryan so much he was definitely my brother I’m so excited for him to enter the gates of heaven. He now gets to live in a new glorious body without pain or heartache. He has the company of the ultimate healer and although I’ll miss him so much I know he is forever happy and I can’t wait until I see him again.
Bryan stood strong amongst his peers and had a whistle that deafened everyone that stood around when he let it out. He never cared about what people thought, just lived life. The years I was able to have him kicking it by my side was always eventful. Hurts to hear a homeboy from back in the day is gone. Much love to all family and friends. Rest my friend as we will kick it later on down the road.
Rest in peace old friend. My condolences to your loved ones.
My deepest condolences to Bryan’s Mom Karen ,Dave his Buddy and all his family and friends. I got the pleasure to know and talk to Brian because of Dave.Bryan was a very nice person always willing to help someone no matter what. He enjoyed being outside talking with Dave and working on cars or whatever him and Dave could find to do. He was a jokester.I myself lost my son Brian a little over a year ago .I know this pain to lose a loved one also.May God Bless Brian and may he now rest in Heavenly Peace.He will truly be missed.God Bless you Bryan .
Such a heartbreak. While I hadn’t seen Brian in awhile, I have many memories from grade school. Hugs to Brian’s family. I’m so very sorry.
Bryan has been one of my best friends for more than 30 years! He named me Chone, I gave him a black eye, totally on accident, and the rest is memories that make up the craziest stories I have to tell. If you loved him, he loved you back with his big true heart. My condolences to everyone who is touched by this loss.
Hello. I have know Bryan for 30 years although not on a day to day basis, my Brother is “Chone” Anthony Quinn. I’ve had the pleasure of being around their shenanigans and fun times. I loved Bryan and always remember him full of fun, full of laughter and full of love! I remember one time in particular we were driving from Arizona to California me following Anthony and Byran and it was raining we had to pull over and Brian insisted on buying my windshield wipers and installing them at that moment laughing telling me how he could ride on my car and use his hands as a windshield wiper he made me laugh so hard. I will always remember him as being a best friend to my brother a friend to my sister and to our family.
My deepest condolences go out to family and friends and ASHLEY. God bless you all. Bryan, most of all God SPEED!
I have known Bryan for at least 35 years. He is my “big brother”. I grew up with him because he is best friends with my big brother (Anthony). Bryan and I always stayed close. He was my protector. Growing up, he always told everyone not to mess with his little sister. I loved that about him, because he always made me feel safe and loved. I always loved how he was the life of the party. He always knew how to make everyone laugh. People were drawn to him. His presence was always positive, fun, and loving. When I was around him, I always stuck by his side just wanting to feel the love and safety he gave me. He impacted my life in such a profound way. My life will forever be changed by the lack of his physical presence. I love you Bryan, from now to eternity! You will always be my big brother! ❤️
Bryan had a smile that lit up any room he walked into. He gave the best hugs and was always making people laugh. He will be deeply missed. May he rest in peace.
