I first met Brian when he was a live in volunteer at St. Matthews station 2 and I worked late watch for the Indian Hills Police. He always was joking around and we became good friends. I remember how excited he was to be hired by JCEMS. It was his dream job. The last time I spoke to him was just a few days before he went into the hospital. He called my cell late thinking that I was working, but when he found out that I was off he cut the conversation short. Wish I had talked longer. Miss Ya, Jeff

I knew Brian before he worked for JCEMS and I knew of his desire to work there. Brian was by-far the hardest working person I knew, no matter how long the shift or how bad the run Brian would never complain. Brian could always make you laugh with his silly laugh and grin.....I would give anything to see and hear it again.

I have alot of fond memories and I will never forget you Brian.

Your friend always,

James

I worked with Brian at Yellow Ambulance and at JCEMS. Brian and I interviewed for JCEMS on the same day and waterpower interviews a number of us went out for lunch to "unwind". We all spent the next hour or so comparing questions that we were ask and how we answered them. I can still see the smile that he had on his face when we were all satisfied that we had done well and that we were the best group they could hire! I made a run with him a few weeks before he died and to see the pride that he had in having landed his "dream job" is something that I take with me everyday. Brian worked hard to get were he wanted to Billie I only wish that he could have had more time to enjoy it. Brian's death has opened the eyes of allot of people. We are more aware of the dangers that we face every day especially the ones that we can't see. I am proud to say that I am one of the first Paramedics that benefited from Brian's scholarship fund and I feel that everyday that I work and every patent that I touch is a Tribute to Brian's life. You will live on in the hearts and work of many that you have touched forever.

Brian and I started at Jefferson County EMS together. We were both so proud to be working there. Everytime I think of him I can still hear his laugh. He had almost made to to our probation period, which we were all looking forward to that day.

Brian, you are still missed!!!
