I remember when I watching television that morning and heard the breaking news about Brian. I was very shock and surprise that he had passed away. I really enjoyed the way he presented the weather especially during severe weather of any kind. I really going to miss the chance of having a backyard barbeeque with him. He was fun and joy to watch during the holidays too. My prayers are with his family and the News Team. Remember that one day we will all meet again.

Brian was one of a rare breed in our industry. He cared more about others than himself. He was a loved and respected father to his children, a loving and loved husband, and a caring and compassionate friend to all those about whom he cared. It is hard to describe the incredible feeling of loss we have inside our newsroom today, because it isn’t just about losing a co-worker. It’s about losing someone we loved who was in the prime of his life. To say that we will miss Brian, more for what he did off the air than what he did on it, does not do justice to the grief and pain we all feel right now. There will be a huge void on our newscasts when it’s time for weather. There is an even bigger void in our hearts. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Eyewitness News Everywhere family go out to Brian’s loving wife Cindy, their children, and his extended family. I hope the entire Memphis area will offer the same.
