He loved taking long drives, camping, rafting with family and friends, and had a passion for cooking. Brian was known and appreciated for opening his BBQ and backyard to all for countless celebrations. Brian had such a wonderful sense of humor; it drew everyone he met to him. We all saw his heart shine for each and every one of us. He kept many lifelong friends along the way.
