Brian had an amazing outlook on life.  Brian never complained, if Brian was in pain or faced with challenges, he always responded; “Never had a bad day in my life and I don’t plan to start now. “

Brian also had a true passion for the performing arts and was a member of several local theaters where Brian put to good use his God given talents of singing and acting.  He enjoyed Quizzo, karaoke, was a true fan of the Eagles and the Phillies, had a love for concerts, and enjoyed spending time with his friends and family the most; especially his nieces and nephew. Brian truly loved being an uncle. But mostly, he cherished the time he was able to spend with the love of his life, Kelly.
