Condolence: Cookie, I know we never met I am Jamee’s Mom. I remember when Jamee had her 15th Birthday party a year ago and Bryan came with his cousin. He was polite, kind and very respectful. When Jamee told me about Bryan I was in shocked I pray for him everyday. He is with my Son James now, playing in Heaven. I know what you are going through and if you need someone to talk to. You can e-mail me and I will get my number to you. My heart and prayers are with you always. Barb

Condolence: Cookie, im so sorry to hear about Brian he was an angel, I wish I could have been in WA with you for this, but he's in heaven now looking over you. Love always your sister Meme

Condolence: Ms. Matthews,
My heart aches for you. I doubt you remember me - as we never met face to face - just over the phone. Bryan would babysit for me on Fridays or Saturdays every now and again. He was such a caring, funny, smart young man. I don't live in Oak Harbor anymore and I don't know what happen... I just want you to know that Bryan was a good boy, he will be forever remembered and missed by all that new him. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: 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.

Condolence: I was so sorry to hear about Brian dying. What a beautiful smile he had. I've had close family members die suddenly, and I know how painful it is to accept their gone. My prayer is that you'll remember all the precious moments you shared together. Brian is in complete peace now, and our life here is not the end. God comforts the hurting and weeping. He feels your pain and wants to pour His love on you. I will keep praying for you and I hope you'll feel better soon. God Bless

Condolence: I am praying for you all. Bryan was a very sweet and respectful young man. He always made me laugh whether i felt like it or not. His smile lightened a room and will always be remembered. Trust in God through every moment of sorrow and believe that my "lil man" is in a better place. Take care and know that Bryan will not only be remembered but also celebrated because knowing him and getting the chance to spend time with him was a great gift from God.
God bless you all.
