To the Family of Max, he was an amazing person. My husband and I worked with him at the Sears Tower and lost contact with him when he left. He is truly missed and loved by many there. May your family find strength at this time and may he rest in peace. He is now an Angel in heaven looking over all of you. Max you were very sweet and dear to me and you will be missed very much.

Losing a loved one is difficult, but when they are as special as Brian, it must be almost unbearable. Berk & I remember when he graduated from Navy basic training at Great Lakes. We were fortunate to witness the start of his military career, he was so proud. We are sure God has a special place in heaven for such a special young man.
