Sorry everybody that it has taken us so long to update but the last few days have not been great. We have been spending all of our time with Brian. It is with much regret that we have to tell you that Brian lost his fight at 5:15pm yesterday. It is as hard to write this to all of you is it is for us as a family to go through this. You have been his line to life and for that we are greatful! Thank you for your prayers and thoughts and all your comments as we made sure Brian heard each and every one of them. Once arrangements have been made, we will update the blog with all information.
One thing we ask is for no flowers. Brian's wish was that Christie and Patti are walking the weekend to end cancer in August 07 for him and my sister Sharon. In leiu of flowers for Brian's memory, please sponsor them. It would make the journey that he had to go through possibly better for somebody else.
Thanks for all your love and support, you are all very special to us.
Chris and Christie

Hi Chris and family,
Words cannot explain how sorry we are for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers, and if there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to call.
Eric, Christy and Mathias Hasselmann
Chris,
This has been a very difficult time for all of us. I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope the emptiness you are feeling now will pass with time and will be replaced with wonderful memories of a truly special guy. He was a friend and brother to so many of us that knew him and he will be sorely missed. I spoke with Steve last night and we shared our thoughts on how unbelievable the past few months have been. I hope that you and the family can gain some comfort in the knowledge that Brian will never be forgotten and his inspiration will carry on in the lives of those he touched. His days of pain and suffering are over and he can now rest in peace. He lived a life that mattered and he will be missed.
Take care,
Bob Jackson
To Auntie Chris and family,
We are so sorry for the loss of a great man. Last night we were remembering the best moments and memories with uncle Brian. He was one of a kind and a special person and any one who knew him knew that. He will always have a spot in our hearts, and every night as I look to the sky, I will see the Ursa major, the great bear, and know uncle brian is there.
It has broken my heart to read your news about Brian, as well for the hurt you must be going through.
Just remember as God calls us one by one, He may break our family chains, but the chains will link us all again, once God calls us one by one.
My Love and Prayers to You Chris and all Family members

To Chris and family,
We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of Brian. As you know we loved him dearly and we will miss him so much but he will be in our hearts forever. We have so many unforgettable memories of Brian. He was truly a very brave and courageous man....an inspiration to us all. Mikey wants to especially thank all the Chevron drivers for 'blowing their airhorns' last night in honour of one CLASSY co-worker! Let us know if there is anything we can do to help in this very difficult time for all of you.
Mikey and Linda
From Bruce and Karey Dunbar at Chevron:
More than a co-worker, Brian touched the lives of so many people, via his positive attitude, unwaivering ethics, but most importantly, his kind and sincere manner. There are no words to describe how he will be missed by all of us. We cannot imagine the pain that those closest to him must be feeling, but please know that we have 'some' sense of it, and that our thoughts and wishes are with you all. In our own way, we will all miss this very special man. We will remember him for all his good, and can only strive to be somehow, and some way, like him. That will be his legacy.
