With my deepest sympathy to Mrs Armstead, Debbie, Jamie and family.
I have many wonderful memories of Brian. I lived on Marsh Road, and Mrs Armstead would drive us to swimming while my dad would pick us up. We spent hours and hours together in cars over the “wonder years.”
As a teen, I worked at Peter's Drive In. Brian, Carson, Kevin and the rest of the basketball team would frequently drop by to say hi to Loretta and I and the burgers and shakes would fly off the shelves. Brian would tease me that he preferred the fries from MacDonald's, although he was always eating Peter’s fries.
Brian took me to my high school graduation and was a true gentleman. He was the kind of man that opened doors for women and it was a wow!
My fondest memory of him was his kindness and compassion on one particularly bad day. A group of kids were teasing me dreadfully and he saw and heard it all. I left what I was doing and went home. Brian called my mom and she told him I was at the 7-11 eating my sorrows away. He came to find me to see if I was alright and told me he didn’t like what the kids did to me. It takes a special kind of teen to care enough to take the time to check on another and help. That is a man of God. He truly touched my heart and I never forgot his act of kindness.
I am certain he is in a place of great happiness. Good bye Brian, until we meet again.
"For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life.”
-John 3:16
Sincerely
