"Carrie, Shaun and Katelyn, We are so sorry for the loss of your amazing son and brother. I had the privilege to get so many hugs, kisses and I love yous from him as a a little boy. He was always the kindest, most empathetic toddler, he loved dogs and babies and always had a sweet smile to brighten your day. I will forever miss his beautiful red hair and amazing smile. The sky has gained another star, the one he was destined to be."

"I loved watching Brian through Tik Tok, like many others did. His soul shined bright through our phones and made us feel so happy. His smile and eyes always captured me, and was so contagious. He always reminded me of my brother which I haven't seen in nearly 8 years due to him being in Japan. I'm so sorry for your loss and I wish I would've known this beautiful soul."

"I would just like to tell the family that I am very sorry for your loss. I found Brian through TikTok when he had a small following and I was able to watch him grow more popular. I just saw the post made on his account by his sister Katelyn and I am having a hard time believing this is all so real, and I’m so sorry to those grieving his loss right now. Much love to his family members, Brian will be deeply missed."
