See Condolences

I don't know if you would remember me but I went to school with Brian. I graduated in 1991. I am so sorry for your loss. We may never understand why things like this happen but, we just have to trust God to give us the answers. I pray that you and your family have peace that passes all understanding & strength to endure the tragic loss. I will be praying for you all.

So sorry to read of your loss in the Catahoula News. Never had privilege of meeting your son but remember you, Joe Pat, from Harrisonburg High - and Carol from Northeast in Monroe. Our prayers are with you.

It's been a long time since I'd gotten to see Brian in person since Brandi and I were in college probably, but we got to reconnect via the power of the internet. Brian was great.. harassing of course on occasion : but always fun. I'm sure that went with being little sister's friend. Love and Hugs for the folks that have always been like family. You are in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Carol and Family. May God Bless you and continue to watch over you during this time.

May GOD comfort you all in your loss. Remember ALL the wonderful memories of your time together.

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

Brian and I worked together at Chevron. When I went offshore to the rig, he was kind enough to show me all around the rig and platform. He was very kind, considerate and handsome man. He will be missed. God Bless Him, His Family and Friends !!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. God bless your family.

We share in your loss and we are sorry we did not know sooner. We pray for comfort for you, the family. "May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus". Phil. 4:7

I knew Brian from being neighbors to the Williams hunting camp at Flowers Landing on the Tensas River. He was an avid outdoorsman and a committed deer hunter. He will be missed.

I remember him well as a dear friend of my sons, Bobby and Jimmy. He was a good football player and he had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed.

"Big Tuna" I will miss your smiling face. You will be missed by all that knew you, but God has certainly gained an LSU fan. May God bless your family and help them through this time of sorrow.

RIP brian u will be missed

Although it has been a few years since I spoke to Brian, he was always larger than life. He had a way of making people feel special and cared about. We were friends in school even though we went to different ones but I really got to know Brian later after high school. It was after I moved back to West Monroe in 2003 that we spent many evenings on yahoo messenger chatting while he was offshore working. He could make me laugh without even hearing his voice. He was a wonderful friend and definitely one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Carol, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. God bless you and be with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time and in the days ahead.

We are praying for the family during this difficult time. Love, Heather, Pat, Joy, Martha, Stephanie, and Jason

My heart and prayers go out to the Gibson family as well as Brian's close friends. My memories of Brian are from school, where he was always the same friendly person day in and day out. Sincerely, Stuart Lewis

Brian will be missed. He was a kind man. My prayers are with the Gibson family..

I graduated from West Ouachita High School with Brian. Brian, You will be greatly missed! Nicole Harper Dodson

May God rest his soul. Brian was courageous and brave in his battle to remain on this earth. Ultimately, Brian is rewarded with the gift of eternal life, so it is hard to say he lost a fight. It was such a blessing to be able to visit with Brian last Friday with other friends and family. In my heart I knew this fight had taken an extreme toll on him. Brian was very much loved and I will miss him dearly. This earth has lost a great son, brother, nephew and for me great friend. There won't be a day that goes by on the lake or in the woods that I won't be thinking about him. Rest well my brother.

Though time has passed and we only see each other every now and then, you were the same in school as you were later in the years. It is a true tribute to your character. Have fun in heaven and we'll see you there. God bless your family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. He was a great friend and person liked by everyone. The crews here on Petronius will dearly miss him.

Words cannot express the loss I feel in my heart right now. When I think of Brian, I think of this gentle and kind person, who was always there for me when I needed a hug. I regret losing touch over the years, and cannot believe he is gone. My heart and prayers are with you all in Louisiana. The world lost a truly unique and precious individual.

Brian was a very happy go lucky person always up for fun. I will miss my high school classmate. My condolences to his family!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. My memories of Brian are from childhood with Chris Brownlee and the gang. Brian was always larger than life and I know he left a lasting impression on those that knew and loved him. Brian may not be here physically but his memory will live on for those who knew him.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
