I know your husband as a CPO Brother and no more. But I offer that as a Sister in the Mess, ther is no higher honor than to say he will be missed and his family will remain our charge to eternally cherish.

Served with him on Truxtun. He was a great guy, and will be missed.

Brian, Brother you will be missed! May God give your family strength in this time and Bless them, Now and in the future and with the Great memories of You!! RIP Boats!

He was such a great person and Chief inside and out. When no one believed in you or wanted to help you, he was ALWAYS there. If you needed anything, to talk/vent, help studying and so forth he was the man and person to go too. You missed so much!

Brian, we served on USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) Where we built a life changing bond that was everlasting. We talked all the way up to your new duty station(Angel)..we always say God must have been a Boatswain's Mate, well he got a good one to be his Angel. Until we closed up the ROMEO FLAG to come alongside for an UNREP Rest in Paradise Brother!!! 21 gun salute

I've never had the opportunity of serving with you but all BMs are brothers and sisters. Rest in heaven brother. My condolences goes out to the entire family.

Met him at his grandmother's

He was an amazing leader and friend. He will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.

My condolences to the family.

Brian was a remarkable human being, a damn fine sailor, and an even better friend. Gone from this world far too soon. Most sincere condolences to Jessica and the rest of his family.

One of the nicest guys I’ve ever served with. All ways willing to lend a helping hand to solve a problem. RIP Brother

Brian impressed me so much with his good nature and willingness to pitch in and help no matter where he was. His love for his wife and family shined brightly in his smile. He smiled a lot over the last 6 years. He was happy and content. I pray for Jessica and the children to find peace and comfort in the coming days, weeks and months as they weather this storm together

Our Hearts are with you

I know we didn't get to see you and the family often, but I'll always remember the fact that you are/were a great example of what a father should be.

We never sailed together yet we are brothers forever. God Speed Boats.
