Dear Family of Brian,

I will deeply miss working with Brian. He did many room setups using AV equipment for the Memorial Center. Brian was always so willing to help with anything I ask of him. My very deepest thoughts are with you all.

To the family of Brian Wright:



I want you to know that Brian was a great student worker. I hired him for the Fall of 2001 and have since grown to know and like him. I know he was a quiet person, but once asked about something he would light up with interest. He would always do anything I asked of him, and he respected me just as I respected him. He will be sorely missed in our Music/Media department in the Ames Library



My prayers are with you and your family.

Brian was everything that you could have asked for in a friend. He was full of happiness and joy, and would never think of hurting anyone. I am honored to have been his friend for so many years, and he will live on in my memory forever.

Brian was a really great person and I would like to send my prayers and condolences to all of Brian's family and friends. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Brian was a person that if you needed help, he would help you the best he could no matter what. He was so smart, and nice... just a person others could really look up to. We may have not been the best of friends, but when ever I needed help with something, he helped me out and it's hard to see someone as kind and giving as him to pass away at such a young age. Once again, I'm so sorry and my prayers go out to you!
