Terrific man - taken too soon. Our deepest heartfelt condolences to Brian's family and closest friends. We only really got to know Brian for a short period of time but he left an imprint in our hearts forever! Brian was an unbelievable friend to my brother Dan. He was there for him, with him, all through his illness. After Dan passed, he continued his caring and support to benefit all of us and especially Dan's boys. Something we will never forget! I'm sure that wasn't the only time he shared his caring and giving spirit! He touched a lot of people's lives and left an un-fillable void here. I know he will be missed by many. Brian was an angel on earth! I love my brother Mike's idea that he and Dan are reunited in heaven coaching games. That would truly be "heaven" for them both! :-) Rest in peace Brian O 'Dwyer, knowing you really made a difference here on Earth!

Lora and Family,
There are no words that can express how sorry we are to hear about Brian. A kind, loving, husband, father and friend who will always be in our hearts.
Our prayers and love are being sent to you for strength to help you through this very hard time.
Love

What Brian did for my brother and his family has never been forgotten. He was a true mensch.
The world is a much emptier place now that Brian is no longer with us. One thing I am certain of is that Brian and Dan will be organizing some sports event when they meet again.
So sorry for your loss.
