My sincere sympathy goes out to Brians family and friends. When I heard of Brains passing, I was shocked. I had not seen Brain in many years but it seems like yesterday that we were riding horses together as neighbors. Brain lived right across the road from me. When we were kids we would cross the field to go to each others house and then jump on the horses and go for a ride. We spent countless hours talking. Those memories will always be cherished.
Lee and family, so sorry to hear of your loss, not sure we will make it to visitation but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sherry and family, so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. While I hadn't seen Brian for several years, I still considered him a friend. May the good times you shared with him give you solace in this most difficult time. God Bless.
I have known Brian since 1981. He was always a kind friend to me. He touched so many peoples lives in so many different ways. He always made me smile and laugh. If you needed him to do anything, if it was within his power he would be there to help. He did so much for so many people and the funny thing, it was a lot of the people he did not even know. That is just the kind of person he was. Here in Des Moines when ever he was out and about he would always take time to stop and talk with me when we weren't doing work with each other. He will be greatly missed and I truly am sad that I will not be able have our long chats. To his family and friends I grieve with you and for you. My heart knows your sadness and my thoughts are with you.
Brad and Robin and family, You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. If you need anything don't hesitate to call. Tracey Matt & family

Although we grew apart over the years,I can never forget as young boys on Grampa Spurgeons farm. Brian being the youngest always trying to tag along behind Brad,Kevin,and myself. Today those memories bring a laugh and a tear. My sympathy to all family and friends.
Brian was a life long friend from the mid 80's. I always enjoyed our friendship, here in Des Moines, later in Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities. He will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace the pain is over. Love Jim
