Saddened by the untimely passing of Brian. Brian came into our lives several Christmas’ ago when my sister introduced him to our family. Many moments spent with Brian since. From Blue Jays events to Leafs games and the birth of my two children, Brian was part of a lot and we will miss him. Brian shared a special bond with Leiah and every time we would tell her we were going swimming at “Uncle BVaz” and Aunt Courtney’s house, her eyes would light up. Leiah knew that she would have all the attention on her, especially from Brian. Brian always knew a way to share a special moment with Leiah and I truly hope he knew how much he meant to her. Although you are no longer with us, we were all lucky to have been part of your journey. Until we see you again, Brian.

Dear Monica and family!
I was so incredibly saddened by the news of a Brian’s passing. As a high school student, there wasn’t a day that Brian wouldn’t pass me in the hallway with his beautiful, infectious smile and say hi to me. He had such a warm, loving and genuine sweetness that my heart is really heavy with this news.
May the memories that you shared bring you peace and comfort at this very difficult time of loss. Rest In Peace dear Brian. Wish you knew how much you were loved!
