He's changing my life.  / BettyAnn Geiler (Now a Good friend )

Brian has been on my mind a lot lately...and I truly believe that he is changing my life every day.  I light a candle for him and Matthew when I meditate and Brian's candle flame is always dancing merrily.  I feel him with me and guiding me each day.  I know his journey has not ended and he is still around to make a difference in our lives.  I hope that Greg and Jan have the peace in knowing that Brian is still giving of himself.  Peace and love to all who knew and loved Brian.  His light is still shining and his candle is still burning.

His light will always shine  / BettyAnn Geiler
Brian is always on my mind and in my heart.  I wish there were magic words to ease the pain and heartache.  Just remember that Brian is loved and missed by many and that his light continues to shine.  Peace to all who love Brian. Close

life / Dad
That time runs out before one's life work is completed by no means makes it worthless. The fragmentary quality of life does not detract from its meaning. It is not the length of its span that we can ever draw conclusions as to life's meaningfulness. We cannot, after all, judge a biography by its length, by the number of pages in it; we must judge by the richness of its content. The exuberant life of one who has died young certainly has more content and meaning than the existence of some long-lived dullard.

Sometimes the "unfinisheds" are among the most beautiful symphonies.

To Briansdad  / Jim Balthazor
Briansdad, I am so sorry for you loss. Working with Beyond Indigo I am so amazed at the strength of parents like you. Losing a child is just so impossible to understand, ever. Just know that everyone appreciates the opportunity to know you and your son. It means a lot. Kirksdad Close

My prayer for you and your family  / Dee Appel (cyber friend of you dad's )

Christmas without you.  / Dad
This is our second Christmas without Brian.In many ways it seem harder for me.Brian loved Christmas.I suppose you could say that about everyone though.I was watching some old videos from past Christmases and the one thing I noticed about Brian was how he was always helping the younger kids putting their toys together.He wanted to make sure they had their stuff right so they could have fun too.I miss his grin when he got something he really wanted.How he would light up when his daughter opened her gifts.No matter how much money he didn't have he always tried to get me and his mom something good.It was funny though.He always seemed to get me something that we both could use.He truly loved being with his family.I know many people dread this time of year because of family.That's why it helps to think of how much he enjoyed being with his.Not just the immediate family either. All the aunts, uncles, cousins and second cousins.We had to put our dog Taz to sleep last week.She was Brian's favorite.So I guess I'll say Merry Christmas B she 's for you.You take good care of her for me. I love you and miss you so much.

I've often wondered what heaven would be like.  / Kristy Cross (Friend)

Heaven is something we have all dreamed and wondered about. It is a wonderful place I imagine, but that doesn’t console the hearts of those who have lost you to it.  Whatever it’s like up there, whatever you’re doing up there, you are still loved and missed down here, and you always will be. I see the pain in those who love you, those who you’ve touched with your life, and I know, from that alone, your life was full, and you achieved more than some people could ever dream. In death, your body left us, but your soul lives on, in our hearts, in our memories, and in heaven. The love that you shared here on earth is incomparable to what you must be experiencing up there. Now that you live in a place where love runs deeper than the oceans and is stronger than what we could ever possibly conceive, your family needs now, more than ever, to share in the love you now know. Please help us to let the love shine through, strongly and brilliantly, so it can overshadow the pain and heartache which sometimes seems to command our days, weeks and months. You are still a son, you are still a brother, and you are still a father. I hope, that if you’re not too busy up there in heaven Brian, that your new life and new love can influence the rest of us down here who have yet to see the glory and brilliance which you now see. There is still much pain here, but I know that pain is evidence of love. I know that nothing could ever fully rid your loved ones of the pain they know. I hope you can help all of your earth-bound friends and family to extend that kind of love to one another as they go through these hard times; the kind of love that is unconditional and everlasting. We’ll see you again up in heaven one day, and until then, you will be remembered.

 

 “¹⁴For this reason I kneel before the Father, ¹⁵from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. ¹⁶I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”      - Ephesians 3:14-19

 “⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ⁸ Love never fails…”   -1 Corinthians 13:4-8

 

 ²⁸"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."   -Mathew 11:28-30

Song that sums up how I feel  / Robert Klocke (Brother)

Gone Away
By The Offspring

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can‘t deal it‘s so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven‘s so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you‘ve gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary‘s
Can‘t bring back what‘s taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven‘s so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you‘ve gone away

MY SON  / SELMA FLYNN BOBBY MOM (friend)
"MY SON" On the day God took you I thought that I would die I wondered where the time went? I asked alot of whys?? With people all around me I felt alone inside From all their words of comfort, I couldn't seem to hide, I thought I might be dreaming That I'd wake and find you here, I thought "This can't be happening." As I wiped another tear. On the day that you were laid to rest My heart broke yet again, I wondered if the pain would end, But mostly, I wondered when?? It's hard to be without you, At times the days seem long, Sometimes I just sit crying, When there's really nothing wrong. I wish we'd had more time, Before your life was done. I hope your resting peacefully, My precious boy, Close

Need ya B  / Robert (Brother)

Miss you,I wish you were here B, I really need to talk to you about girls who don't understand, and wont leave me alone. See, I know you could help me, you always did in the past, I hope you still can now. I love you Brian. Save a spot for me at the lake, so when I get up there we can fish and talk all the time.

You will always be missed  / Chris Lehmuth (Great friend )
Brian it's been a year since you've been gone but we still and will always remember you.  You are always going to be missed, there is just so much not to forget from the memories of us all growing up.  I love you and miss you Brian.  I'll see you soon.
Love,
Chris Close

I miss you cousin  / Kelly Aitken (Cousin)

I wish that I could have spent more time with you on all the holiday get togethers.  I really miss all the times you messed with me and you and rob put wrestling moves on me.  I know one day I will see you again I will be able to return the moves back on you.  Alyssa is growing up so fast, everytime I see her she looks more and more like you.  I know your watching down on everyone and I know were all waiting to see you again.

To The Klocke Family:  / Rich, Becca &. Dakota Kimbrew (Chris's family )
Greg,

   We met under the most horrible of circumstances, the loss of our boys. Our family wants you to know that we're thinking of you , tonite, and through tomorrow. Our hearts break for you, we know a measure of your pain. We know what a year this has been, and have a good clue of what the next year brings. But as hard as tomorrow will be, you all have some great memories to pull you through, and the face of Brian's gift to you, your Alyssa.  You raised a fine young man. He was, for all we've read and heard, a trustworthy and loyal friend, a Father full of pride, a son that brought much joy to his parents, a brother who looked out for his siblings.....  We know all this because you've so eloquently shared him with us. For that we thank you. because of you, our journey has been eased. Our wish for your family in the next few weeks is this: A moment or two of peace when you think about Brian, a smile through the tears, and the feeling that he is there with you tomorrow. Dakota promises he will be. We'll be with you in spirit.

Our Angel  / Jessie (Sister)

I wish that you and I had never gone to Mike's tonight. Mom and dad would have had one more night with you or maybe that would have made a difference the next day. I wish I would have woken up early to see you go to work that morning. There are so many things that I wish I had done. Maybe it would have made a difference. I should have told Dad about us going to look at bikes. I should have told him that you were going to get one. He could have talked you out of it. Or maybe you have held off on getting one. Watch over Mom, Dad, Rob, and Alyssa. I hate seeing my family hurt so much. The worst part is that fact that I make it harder for them. What in my right mind makes me do that! What's wrong with me? I just want everything to be back to normal. I don't want tomorrow to come. I don't want to replay everything I went through. I still haven't found the answer to why I was chosen to be last person to actually hang out with you, the first person to found out about you and the last person to see you go. Maybe I'm just crazy, but it seem I was picked for that for some reason. Was I suppose to be the strong one through this or what? I don't know. I just want you to know that I love you very much and I miss you dearly! Let Mom, Dad, Rob, Alyssa, and Sarah know I love all of them with all my heart!

Jess

I'm sorry  / Dad
Today was the last day I had the chance to be with you.I'm sorry I was gone all week fishing.God how I wish you could have come with us.I remember how proud you were when you showed me that you got the motor out of the car.I can still see me , you , Jess sitting in the family room together.I showed you the picture of Alyssa when she was quite a bit younger and asked you "Do you remember her when she was this little?" You got a big grin and said "Yeah it sure goes by quick". Well bud you certainly were right! It does go by quick.Thanks for the kiss on the forehead the next morning.It was some gift I'll always remember.I'll be out there with you tomorrow.
I miss ya B
