Bryan had a larger than life spirit that filled every room he entered. He was warm, compassionate, optimistic and full of passion and energy.

May God sleep on your pillow.

May He hold you in the hollow of His hand. 

May the road rise with you;

Fair weather to your heels. 

May the wind be ever at your back, 

and may you be a long time in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead.
