The last week has probably been the worst of my life. I have seen much in my short time on this earth, but the loss of my son pains me like nothing I could have imagined.However......
This experience has/is teaching me some very important lessons. First and foremost about God; he loves me more than I can imagine. The Bible tells me that God gave His Son for MY sins. Voluntarily. No strings attached. Without my deserving it. How is that possible? The pain of my loss can not compare to the devotion God has shown in giving his son for me. Secondly, my family is incredible! My brothers and sister, parents, aunt and uncle, grandparents, and many more, have loved my wife and I throughout this entire process. It is not finished, and will not be finished for a long time. But they stay. Blood is thick, and my family is thicker than most. Last but not least come my friends, colleagues, and students. When I looked around the sanctuary on Friday and saw nothing but standing room, I was amazed! I am very blessed to have the friends that I have. This week has also shown me how devoted many of my friends are to me and my wife!
In short, thank you. My wife Marisa and I would like to thank everyone who has prayed for and supported us through this difficult time. Please keep us in your prayers as we will continue to heal. We could not have imagined how much love this world is capable of!
Like the picture above, we are surrounded by clouds right now. But the sun is peeking through, and the clouds are slowly leaving. God is good!

While I am very sorry for your loss. I am inspired by your faith and love for God, Much is to be learned and shared and you and your son are a wonderful example of Gods love for us. Thank You and May God continue to bless you and your family!!! With love, Beth
Coach Taylor, The lost of your son has not only strengthened you and your family, but me as well. I've learned that life is short, so we should use it in any way we can to worship God. I love you Coach Taylor!
My husband and I are Friends of Bryan's and are so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you and your family can find comfort in God's love. When something like this happens in people's lives I always wonder how non-believers cope with such tragedy. Can you imagine how your family would have gotten through this without your faith? We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers!
I am so proud that you are my son!
Coach,
GOD is good and you are surrounded by many who care for you and Marisa. You know where I stand and if you need it...I'm there. Forever Brother's in Christ.
