I know Bryan thru his mother Sandy. I have never met Bryan, but after reading about him, I know how strong and good person he is.
My condolences to his wife and Sandy. I am so sorry he was taken from his dear ones so early.
Please be strong.
Bryan will be remembered.

To all of the family and friends of this fallen officer,
Please know that you all are in our prayers, as we have lost a fiance, father and best friend in the line of duty last month. The pain is undescribable, our only comfort is knowing that David died doing what he loved. Please feel free to contact me if you are in need of talking with someone who knows your pain.
Much love and prayers,

Bryan,
I never met you in person, but I did meet you many times in spirit as your mother would tell me all about your life, in particular, your recent wedding to Salina. She is so proud of you, as we all are. This world needs so many more of your family. As you did such an incredible job protecting all of us on Earth, please continue to protect your family from heaven and help them to live on with your eternal spirit as their guide.

Most of my memories are from growing up with Bryan and his sister. Every May we would take a trip to Santa Clara and go swimming and watch performances. Sometimes I would go over their house and play, even as a kid he was honest, trustworthy and overall an awesome person. It has been awhile since I have seen Bryan, but the pain of losing such a wonderful man is still stinging my heart. I feel great pain for his family and close friends. His death was tragic and senseless. My only hope is that he is fulfilling his purpose along side his father, serving in a bigger picture we can only imagine. I hope those who were with him that night can try to remember those great times with him when he made them laugh, please try and let go of the painful images his murderer left us with. We have to believe there is something after this, and Bryan is setting the scene for us and doing what he did best, making sure we will all be taken care of.

Oh Bryan..what can I say. You were far too young. You and your young new wife had such a good life ahead of you. I remember the night I got the call exactly 12 years ago that your dad, my brother was gone..It hurt so bad. I just can't imagine how your mother, sister and new bride are holding up.
May you rest in peace...

Today is a day to reflect and say Thank You to these wonderful men and women who literally give their lives as they serve and protect U.S. citizens across this wonderful, free country. We send you all our love and prayers.
