I am shocked to hear about the passing of Brian. I was just thinking of him and was going to try and find him and came across this... I knew Brian when I lived in Huntington in 1993 and was very good friends with him. My prayers go out to his family for their loss... I am in such shock.

What a kind soul her was! I remember that he was always picking up my spirits in school no matter how bad my day. I will still see his smiling face in the front of that car while we were on the way to the dance. I was lucky to have been able to double date with him. God has a very special person beside him. May your family be wrapped in God's arms through these difficult times. RIP Brian

Lois, Harold, & Brad: I am praying for God's presence to continue to bring you strength and peace as you gather to celebrate Brian's life. We asked the Lord for healing and he gave Brain complete healing where there is no more sickness or sorrow. Just remember "that we sorrow not, even as others which have no hope".

To the Adkins Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Brian. I have fond memories of him and his wonderful smile. He always made me laugh no matter what. I moved away several years ago and havent seen him but thought of him often. I can still remember the times he would talk abot Brad and how proud he was of him. I dont know why the Lord took such a wonderful man so young.....but I am sure he has other plans for him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
