Miss you so much my son, I will continue to grieve all the days of my life, I find comfort knowing that you are in heaven waiting patiently for all of us to join you on high.

My beautiful son how I miss you, there has not been one single day that has passed that I don’t think about you nor grieve as many family, friends and others who’s lives you touched. I visited your final resting place just last week on what would have been your 27th Birthday. My life as others is forever changed, I miss the little things you asking me “are you done eating that dad, cause if you are I will finish it” or the simple text messages “hey dad, I gotta tell you something” or “dad could you do me a favor” son I was truly honored to be your dad, you made me so incredibly proud so many times in life that is why your passing has hurt so much. I cannot speak for anyone else but me, I know that one day when my time on this rock is over and my life cycle is complete you will be waiting for me at the gates of heaven. God needed a United States Marine Corps officer more than we did here, you truly were a gift from God and I am forever heartbroken. May you dance with the beautiful angels everyday and save me a spot so we can catch up. I will never get over your passing and I will never move on from this pain, I am only learning to live out my days with you no longer here. Love Daddy

I was privileged to get to know Brian at the gun shows in Waukesha. He was a very impressive humble young man with a bright future which was cut way too short. Joe, Tina, Matt & Analisa, I am so sorry for your loss - hard to imagine. Brian; I'm very proud of your accomplishments as you are what makes our country so great. Thank you for your dedicated service to our country.

Rest In Peace Marine ! Praying for the family !

My deepest condolences to all family and friends affected. I didn't know him deeply well, but I've interacted with him enough over the years to know he was a person with his heart in the right place. Had a great aura about him.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Rip Brian. What a brave man you were through all of this. Your family and friends will Miss you greatly. Paul, Michelle,Kristyn, and Michael Vincent

Thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Kathy and I were very sad to hear Brian had passed. He’s resting in peace and pain free now. You have our condolences. Love, Bill & Kathy

Brian, it was almost exactly 3 years ago when we first met to start the great adventure of TBS. Though it wasn’t always fun, it’s the good memories that have stayed strongest- post-field feasts, the group trip to Shenandoah, even just sitting in the hallways cleaning weapons and talking. You had to fight through so much over the past few years, but you always maintained tremendous courage and lived true to your values. You will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace, and Semper Fidelis.

You gained your angel wings, and now You are with the Lord Jesus in his sweet loving arms! Thank you for your services while you were here, and I’m sure many others are going to miss you, I wish I would’ve had the honors of Meeting you, but your grandmother is a beautiful person and have been there for me, and I’m sure you had a heart just like her! Prayers and comfort to all the family!

My sincere condolences to the entire family. Brian was an exceptional young man; wise beyond his years. Every time I had an opportunity to talk with him, I'd walk away impressed by his knowledge, compassion, understanding and positive attitude. I am sure his influence will be felt by many for countless years to come. Rest in peace, Brian.

Semper Fi, Marine. Welcome Home. Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I do not die.

St Michael the Archangel, Defend us in Battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou O Prince of the heavenly hosts by the power of God cast into hell Satan and the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May you rest in peace, Marine! Rest in Peace young man! Semper Fidelis, Colonel Cheryl Blackstone and family

God bless your family, and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. The Herrmann Family

My deepest sympathy, as a dear friend of Joe I was blessed to know Brian and to know that he was a wonderful young man and soldier. God will welcome him into his arms and we shall meet again someday. Amen

My thoughts and prayers are with Brian’s entire family and friends. God has other amazing plans for Brian at this time. Rest In Peace Brian.

Looks like God needed another soldier for his army. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know the right words to say at a sad heart breaking time as this is. Brian was a fighting soldier right until the end. It was his time to go to the Lord and be at peace. No more ugly cancer and pain. God Bless you young Brian and be at peace. Patty Geoffroy

All of my childhood memories are with Brian and his family. Birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Graduations, etc. I was one month older than Brian but I always looked up to him. He was so smart and kind with such a good soul. He was one of the most positive people I knew and never failed to make me laugh! I will miss and love you forever Brian.

Matt and Family, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you all can take the time to grieve, remember the wonderful memories, and then find peace within yourselves. I'm always here as a processing partner, Matt. Warmest Condolences, Paul

Our hearts and prayers are with you, He is at peace with God. Tina we are sending our hugs.

I miss you so much son - I will always love you the rest of my days, and know you will welcome me with open arms into heaven along with Jesus.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am so sorry for your loss and I am praying for you and your family during this tough time, Matt!

Reaching out with a virtual hug for you all - Joe, Tina, Matt and Annalisa. We have loved Brian for so many years now and have many cherished memories. Remembering when Margo took Brian and Tony to Montana to visit family who had 20 acres and a homemade shooting range (soda cans on a fence). The boys were looking forward to some good target practice time! When we got to O'Hare and trying to figure out where to go to check in, we all learned that you move to the front of the check-in line when you travel with guns. :-) Over four days, the boys had a great time shooting their guns, seeing Big Sky Montana wildlife and we even hiked around Yellowstone park one day. On the way home, I surprised them with upgraded seats in First Class. They both enjoyed the extra leg room, adult beverages and hot meal. I remember Brian saying, "Oh, Mrs. Francisco, now you've ruined flying for me forever. Nothing will compare to this flight." And I said, "So you liked it then?" Such a great time and wonderful memories.

I didn't know Brian, but he sounds like he was a wonderful young man who served his country and was taken way to young. He is in a better place now guarding the gates to heaven. Rest in peace Marine.
