Brian was an amazing person, always had a positive attitude towards work. He constantly looked for opportunities to improve and took great pains in keeping his team motivated and engaged. I’m honored to have worked with him, even if it was for a short duration.

We’ll really miss him. God bless his soul!

I (Elissa) am Lauren London’s cousin, and Susan and I met Rick, Roberta, and Sari early on, at Lauren and Zach’s wedding. I immediately felt how wonderful and warm The Londons were, and so when we met Brian, it made sense: the way he and Sari looked at each other was emblematic of people deeply in love, but who also were the best of friends. A few years later, Susan and I were on a holiday visit to Michigan, and we arrived early; Rick and Brian had just come in from a run, and I remember thinking when I saw them together that had I not known who they were, I’d have thought that they, too, were simply dear friends. It seemed to me that whenever I saw Brian with anyone — parents, in-laws, children, Sari — he appeared to just purely delight in their presence, as though he was physically wrapped up in it and warmed by it. Susan and I extend our deepest sympathy to Brian’s family and friends everywhere, to his community, and to every life he touched.
With love, Lissie and Susan

Sari, I have been thinking of you and your family since I read your post earlier today. What always struck me about Brian was not only his love for you but also his love for U2. I am terribly sorry for your loss. With love & sincere sympathy.

I am so very sorry for your loss and there are no words to say to comfort all of you during this time. I met Brian a few times and enjoyed my conversations with him, but the person I knew was through his parents’ eyes and I could understand what a special person he was. What a great loss for his family and the world.
With great sympathy, Rosemary Ryan
