My condolences to Brian’s family. He was a great person who was full of life. I’m thinking of all his loved ones during this very difficult time. Beautiful photo video that fits him perfectly.

Although I did not know Brian for very long, I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know  and spend time with him.  You could not help but but see what a solid, caring guy he was, who always wanted to get to know more about you and help you if he could.  A true gift to so many people and will be missed sadly by all who knew him.

Thank you so much for creating and sharing this awesome photo tribute.  I cried and I smiled watching it over and over again. The photos and the memories and the faces of all the people Brian loved so much filled me up - but it also reminds me of how much we have all lost with his absence.   His smile is so amazing isn't it ?  It was because there was such love, and energy and life contained in that smile.

Dave and I are so honoured that we got  to know Brian in our Norwood neighbourhood over the past few years  , Brian  was a compassionate , caring and peaceful young man and an exceptional human being - he inspired me  ,Brian  always had a huge smile and he was so  friendly to everyone , and so devoted to Dayna  and her daughters .  I enjoyed getting to know him - and  I liked learning how he and Dayna met ,

Brians  love for Dayna and her daughters was so heart warming.

His  passion for music and  his smile - wow !

I will miss Brian very much .

I have a special memory of Brian talking at length  to Fred Turner from  the BTO  band -  when we were both at Al Yorke’s  celebration of life  gathering  with family and friends  - Brian’s questions to Fred were so  funny and sweet !

To know Brian  was to love him .

We will miss Brian …💗

This is a heavy loss. Brian was a warm and caring person who had a genuine interest and love for people. I always enjoyed running into him and catching up at local concerts in Montreal.

Rest in peace, Brian. You will be greatly missed by the many people who’s hearts you’ve touched.

My deepest condolences.

since the beginning of the short time that our paths crossed in Montreal i immediately felt Brian's natural, calm kindness.

playing in bands can be fraught with egos and chaotic energy, but Brian was always the big-hearted and friendly guy cracking jokes or engaging in thoughtful conversion. it seemed to me that Brian didn't have a mean bone in his body, and always made sure everyone was having a good time.

I wish I had the chance to cross paths more with Brian, but whenever I did he always had that same authentic friendliness and spirited interest in living in that moment.

it's an honour to have met him and my deepest condolences go out to his family. 

This is so incredibly heart-breaking. I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember Brian well from back when I was a kid and have kept updated on his Journey through Joanne. A wonderful man by all accounts, gone far too soon. My hearts go out to all of you through this incredibly difficult time. After already suffering the loss of Jenny-Lou, and then Jason, this is just unfathomable. Your family has been through so much and none of it makes sense. Life is not fair. I am so sorry 😥

I met Brian on the evening of 2006, January 26th in Montreal. I remember that day so well. He was so funny, generous, kind and as everybody knows, the best drummer in town. He always had that spark in him that I never saw on anybody else. Following that, we cumulated memories because he was a close friend of Ysael.    

I remember the last time he went to visit us at home in Oka, Quebec, he left to my daughter his clothes because she loved the vintage shirt he was wearing. Thats 100% Brian. Giving all he has to spread joy around him.  

We are devastated by the lost of our friend. 

We will always love you buddy and honoured you. 

But we know that your are in peace where you are with your angel Jenny Lou.  

Our deepest condolences to Dayna and his family. Sending you lot of love.  

I knew Brian for only a short time while he was in Montreal, towards the end of Jenny-Lou's illness, until he left the city. He was a friend of my partner's at the time, but I immediately appropriated him as my own friend.

Brian was gifted with the most wonderful qualities of being kind, warm, funny, and just so damn cool and easy to be around.

He had a unique, quiet, and positively magnetic energy about him. I snapped this photo of him one evening in the summer of 2016. That same night, he patiently put our inconsolable 2 month old to sleep, carrying her around the living room and singing softly. RIP Brian and much love to his friends and family.
