im very sorry for what happened to brian. my name is caroline trindle, and i grew up with brian as a school classmate and a fiend. hearing this, my heart almost stopped. i couldnt believe it. brian was a big part of my life. i learned a lot from him. i went to the memorial but seeing him in the open casket hurt so much. its a horrible feeling going up to someone you have grown up with and never being able to hear there voice or see the beautiful smile again. i had to leave the memorial, i wasnt strong enough to stay, i broke down in the parking lot and im still crying right now. he was an amazing person and i cant believe this is how he went. he was young and he had a whole life in front of him. i wish i could have gone back in time to stop this from happening. im sorry for your loss, for i have lost something too, a great friend and a great insperation. i hope brian rests in peace and life on the other side is as great for him as it was here in oakharbor. god bless you all. my prayers go straight to brian and his family.
