Brian, Thank you for all you did for both River Oaks and Fort Worth Fire Departments and all of the personal contributions you made throughout your years. You are truly missed by everyone, I know you are in a better place now, we just weren\'t ready for you to leave us at such an early age. There is not a day that goes by that I don\'t think about you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
