Brian was a family man; family was most important. Brian was so thoughtful and always put Julieann's needs ahead of his own. Brian and Julieann shared a love of travel and snorkeling but anything they did they did together. Brian loved his boys and enjoyed being their dad and was so very proud of the men they have become. Brian loved Kansas City and was proud of his hometown teams The Kansas City Chiefs, The Kansas City Royals and Sporting Kansas City.  Brian loved to tell jokes and play jokes on others, mostly Julieann.  Brian was a charitable man and was always looking for a way to make the World better by his contributions.

Without the generous donor from bethematch we would not have had these past 18 months. Please consider registering to be a bone marrow donor at bethematch.org

Brian and Julieann decided there would be no memorial service or celebration of life on a select day, however the family requests that you continue to celebrate Brian every day. When you hear Guns & Roses, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin on the radio, just crank it up and remember Brian, as that is how he would want to be remembered. Brian's ashes will be taken to his favorite beach Boca Catalina in Aruba on his and Julieann's 30th anniversary.
