10 years.....so much has changed. Hope you are remembering us today too. Miss you man.

Happy St. Patty's my brother!

Don't think I ever forget you my friend. If it isn't a car I see or a song I hear, it is just memories of a great friendship that will never leave me. Missing my friend Brian.

Can't believe it has been 6 years....think about you often and how much fun we used to have.

Dear Crouch Family,

I was just trying to look up Brian via Google. I'm very sad to find I'm too late. Brian was my best friend for a few years back in H.S. I have great memories of the times we spent together. Sorry we never re-conected.
You guys were like family to me!

Randy Altmayer

I'll have to get organized asap and add some pictures and stories here!

I as just thinking of you and how much fun we had as roommates! We didn't always get along, as is the case in the best relationships! Ups and downs aside, the memories we created together seem like just yesterday.

I can quickly think of at least a dozen incidents where we laughed until tears came down our eyes. Those are the only tears I want to allow in, when it comes to you/us, my dearest of friends. It was a blast making each other's life on earth a more memorable one. Thank you for that Brian. I do miss you a ton.
More to share later........

Brian
HAPPY BIRTH DAY !!!! ;-)
we love you miss you and know you are watching over us. God bless you

All my love on your special day...

I think of you everyday, I hope what you are seeing pleases you.
Love your Bro.

Brian,
We miss you and think of you every day. We know you are watching over us, take care of us and God Bless us all.

We miss you Bro

It isn't the same with out you brother.

Brian,
It is January 25, 2008.
My wife Laura lost her best friend a couple of weeks ago. She had suffered from anorexia since she was about 15. 37 years old and gone.
I miss you buddy! I think about you almost every day. I just want to be able to call you and say hi. Maybe, talk to you about Laura's situation.
I will say, losing you has helped me be there for Laura. I can actually relate to her feelings. But... it will never make it acceptable in my heart that we lost you too soon.
Your friendship was without compare. I only wish we could have stayed in better touch as the years went by. I am sorry.

Sleep well my friend and wherever you are, know that you were truly my brother.

It has been a year since you left us. I spent May 9, 2007 outside all day long. I miss you my wonderful friend. On your Birthday (March 10th) I got a tattoo it is our Pisces fishes and you are the Blue fish (to match your eyes) and I will swim with you forever my fellow pisces. I will love you forever and ever. I will never forget you. I will never forget Hawaii, Ian Ryan, Downtown Chicago, my fun visits to your house, and oh so much more. It has been a sad year without you and I hope you are alright. You were my twin. With all my love in the world, I can't wait to see you again. Love, Poopers! Yvonne

Thanks Katrina, those are some pictures that I didn't have of Brian, and it was very nice to see them. I wish I could afford to make this guestbook permanent instead of expiring next month on the 11th. The memories with Brian will never expire though! My offer still stands if yourself or anyone wants me to share video or pictures I have with Brian. Some are from 20+ years ago and truly are hilarious. Classic Brian Crouch for sure. May God Richly Bless Everyone Of You, the friends and family of BC !

Dan and family. We are so deeply sorry to hear about Brian. The news is a heavy weight on our hearts. We have so many memories of you and your brother. Jamaica, parties at Apple, he made a wonderful video tape of our wedding and many more. We will treasure these memories. He will be deeply missed. Our prayers are with you and your family during these difficult times. Love, Melanie & Mark

Brian's friendship was a gift, and his kindness instinctual. His absence takes our breath away. We are heartbroken by his loss, but smile greatly at the thought of him. We have many questions, the foremost being how will we get along with out him. We love you Bri, and think of you often.

I am so sorry Dan to hear of the death of your brother,Brian. I have read the guest book and get a wonderful sense that he was a great guy and is truly missed by all who wrote. I know that you and my son Brad have been close, almost like brothers, and I know that he is sad for what has happened to you. My best to your mother who I once or twice met, and to your wife and children...Love and Care,Bernard J. Brommel

We are Brian's neighbors down the street. We had just come back from L.A. for her uncle's funeral and found out about Brian Sat. Our prayers to the entire family. Brian was a good friend and neighbor. We will miss him.

Hi!



I am so sorry for your loss. I will remember all of you in my prayers.

Although technically he was my Dad's cousin, I have many fond memories of my "cousin Brian". From one of my first jobs at Advacare (that he got for me & showed me the ropes) to the block parties at his house , the computer advise he gave me and all the stories my dad shared with me about when they were kids. Aunt Carol, Dan and Diane my thoughts and prayers are with you.

We were sorry to hear of this sudden and tragic loss, and offer our sympathy to all who knew him. Please let us know if we can be of help.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

What you did with love will never fade away

Charlotta

The whole family is going to miss Brian immensely. He really wanted to keep us together, and bring us closer to each other. We need to keep that spirit alive, and celebrate the lives that are and those that were. I will cherish the ’66 4244 plate from Brian even more, and it will bring fond memories of him every time I see it. Stay strong, and celebrate the times we had with that blue-eyed guy we will all miss…~J

My beloved Brian, with eyes as blue as the sea. My fellow pisces, Friends, co-workers, and more for over 12 years. You are now my angel and I will love you forever. Yvonne your monkey girl

Dan and family, No words can express my heart felt sympathy. Knowing and adoring Dan and the wonderful person he is, I can only imagine that Brian was similarly a great soul. While I did not know Brian, I have heard so many wonderful things about him over the years. God Bless you all, I am thinking of you Dan and family.

To our wonderful friends ...In these last couple of days what keeps coming to mind are the wonderful things that Brian did and the laughs and smiles he brought to everyones life. Listening to everyone recall how he touched their lives was heartwarming. The sadness will consume you for a long time but what will repace the sadness is the joy and laughter Brian brought to everyone. We love all of you and will keep you in our prayers.

Itchy has and always will be more of a brother than a cousin. Christine, Erin, Michael and Caitlyn have been touched by one of the greatest men to walk the earth. I'll miss you so much.

To all my family-

I love you.

Mom Carol, Dan (P' Ple), Diane (Marty):

I am so sorry to hear about Brian. He was such a great guy who always brought smiles and laughter to everyone (even when he was complaining that there was no cheese on his sandwich). He will be greatly missed and I know that he knows that. Mom and Jet also give their condolences. Although they don't know very much about Brian, they know how much pain everyone is going through. Please take care of yourselves - smile and laugh as if Brian was still here with us. Brian, I love you and miss you.

Dear Carol,Diane and Dan,

I am so sorry for your loss. Brian was a great guy who always had a laugh to lighten any situation. He was kind and a lot of fun to be with. Brian will be greatly missed by everyone he touched. He will always be with me, in my heart and my memories of Jamaica.

May God bless Brian his family and friends.

Dear Dan:



I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother Brian. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Brian’s Family: I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Many of us who worked with Brian will miss him. God Bless you Brian.

Although we had only known Brian for a very short time, we all felt like we had known him for many years. That was the kind of person that he was and that is the person that we will all remember. Our prayers and sympathy go out to the entire Crouch family on this tragic loss.

My Dear Aunt Carol, Diane, Danny and family. I wish I could be there to give you all a hug. During my visit to Chicago last Christmas I was able to spend time with Brian on two occasions. I will treasure those happy memories. You are all in my prayers. Love, Cousin Kate

Carol, Dan, Diane and family,



I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Brian has a new audience right now that he is making laugh just as much as he made us laugh.



--My deepest sympathies

Dan,



My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family. It is always difficult to lose someone you love. Remember you have friends and family to help all of you during this difficult time. I will always have fond memories of Brian especially the great times we all had together at Apple. He will be greatly missed.

To Jim and Marsha, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of Brian's family and friends. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

Words can't describe this loss... We will take care of your family the way you took always care of us. We love you and you will be forever in our hearts.

To Brian's Family and Friends, Some of my husband's funniest stories are about his adventures with Dan and Brian. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are part of us, we remember them.

Brian, you and your family will remain in our hearts and prayers.

dear carol and family,

please accept our deepest sympathy

on the loss of your son and brother.

may G-D give you all the strenth

to get through these next

few days and months.

sincerely,

elaine and larry chernoff

I need Brian!!! I've gotten to know Brian over the last five years, but him and I became very close over the last two years. He was the best friend a person could ever have. He was more gving of himself than anyone I've ever known! I spent so much time with him over the last couple of years that I can say one thing for sure: If you needed help with anything, he was there for you. All the different ways he was there for me, I will never forget or stop appreciating his friendship! I went through a very hard time emotionally last year, and I'm not sure I could have gotten through it without Brian always telling me things are gonna work out. I need him! And I'll miss him so much! We watched the Sopranos together every Sunday night. I don't want to watch the Sopranos without him! I'll miss him so much!

Carol, Di, Dan,



I'm so sorry. If there is anything I can do in any way, please let me know. Many prayers.



I love you all,

Who lives in the memory of his beloved ones is not dead, but far away – dead is only who will be forgotten.

Tanja

My dear bro, I miss you so much it hurts. I hope they are treating you well. You will always be with me.

Suddenly you were gone...From all the lives you left your mark upon. You will be missed.

Carol, diane and Dan,

I don't really know what to write here. I don't think that words can give you the healing that you need right now. Maybe they can't...maybe the thought that all of us that are here can at least ease the pain somewhat. So, maybe it is not about the words we write, but the people we are.

I guess that what I'm trying to say is, many of us share your grief and we are here for you.

Brian was like a brother to me and him being gone feels like a part of me has gone as well.

I will miss him greatly, but I will always remember the great times we shared and hopefully take some comfort in them. I sincerely hope you can do the same.

Dear Carol, Diane and Dan ... I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing and your loss. I cannot attend the service but please accept my heartfelt sympathy. You are in my prayers.

My deepest sympathy to your family.

Carol & Family;

My deepest sympathy to you & your family, words could never express the loss of a dear son & brother. My prayers are with you.

Dearest Crouch Family..Carol, Dan, & Diane.... This news has hit me like a ton of bricks. It brings all of life's troubles into perspective and brings me to my knees. My prayers are with all of you, that you will find some peace or comfort during this terrible time.

Brian was like a brother to me... or at the least, a good cousin. I had the pleasure of being his roommate for a spell back in the 1980's. The times he and I shared are now forever etched in my heart, deeper than they already were. His passing has brought me great sorrow. It was just two years ago, Brian was typing away at my Mother's guest book. This is almost unimaginable to me.

I regret sincerely that I cannot make it to the funeral, and believe me that is with a very pained spirit, as Brian meant and still means very much to me. He was a trusted friend and we shared so many laughs together it's impossible to count them. Brian had a passion for life that you seldom see in people.

I don't have any way of contacting the family other than here, and if someone could write me at [email protected] and let me know a way to reach his mother, sister and brother; I'd greatly appreciate it.



I have some videos that Brian, Paul, and I have taken together and will gladly make copies if anybody wishes to see them. I wish there was more that I could offer or do.



Carol:

You are a wonderful mother, and I know Brian even considered you his friend too. That speaks volumes of how you raised him. I can't imagine your grief right now and I am so very sorry that you are hurting this way. Brian would not want his friends or family to be sad though. I know him enough to say that he'd prefer we celebrated his life, than grieved his death.



Brian, I'll miss talking to you my dear friend. I don't know what else to say but that "I love you man." I could hear you making a joke about that statement even now. Dan & Diane. Be strong. You both already are and probably don't need reminding now, but I don't know what else to say other than I am always available to talk if that helps at all. I pray that God will bless you all, and give you whatever strength required to go forth. This truly is a sad time for us all. We miss you Brian.



Brian, I could go on and on here about some of the hilarious times we shared. Thank you for the memories my friend.



In Christ Jesus,

Dear Carol, Diane, Dan and Family,

He has become a shining star, a guardian angel in the heaven above.

May your memories become a source of peace.

With heartfelt sympathy and love

My thoughts and prayers to Carol, Dan, Diane and the family. Also to Brian's many friends. I will miss those beautiful blue eyes, warm smile, and his friendship. He always made me laugh...



God Bless.

Carol,



There are no words that can truly ease the pain of a sudden loss like this.



But if caring thoughts can help, they are with you and your family right now. Thinking of you at this time and extending heartfelt understanding and sympathy.



My mom is with Brian, hopefully guiding him and watching over him.



Warmly,



Donna & Sean O'Driscoll

Carol,

we just can't understand how it happens; we just accept. Please accept our sincerest sympathies.

We're praying for you.

What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose,for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. May the memories of Brian live in your heart always. We have fond memories of your son, brother, grandson and uncle....our heartfelt sympathy to all...the Landes Family (Katrina's family)

Carol, Diane, Dan & family, our hearts and sincere prayers go out to you all at this sad time. God be with you.

To the Crouch family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and always. Brian will be missed tremendously.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal...........



I'll alway remember Brian as a great storyteller. I'll miss hearing about the Sox games, listening to his music and laughing at him trying to dance.....I'll cherish my Sox souvenir calendar that he gave me last week.



To the family, I will continue to pray for strength and comfort during this difficult time of sorrow.

My sympathy to the whole Crouch family. This is a terrible loss for all.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

My Dear Dan,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Remember the joy and the love. The heart is a perfect diary, it keeps all we love close to hand.

Dear Carol,

I am so very sorry to hear about the lose of your son. I will prayer for him and your family at this sad time.

He is in Gods hands now. I'm sorry I can not come to the funeral or wake.
