Brian Rice was my instructor at TTC. He was such a nice and kind hearted man. He always helped me out when I needed it and was very sympathetic to me trying to work and go to school and raise a daughter on my own. He will be missed by many. I will see you again one day my friend. Until then, thank you for everything you have done for me and I will never forget your kindness.

I'm in shock like every one else.
Brian was so easy to talk to and genuine. He serviced our ac units for many years and when we called I looked forward to a cup of coffee and a visit from a dear friend. You will be missed Brian and never forgotten. Thank you for touching my life in such a caring and positive way. May the angels embrace your soul and deliver you to our maker in peace ever lasting

I am just devastated to hear what has happened to your family. Brian and I were in the new faculty class together and spoke often. He was always so much fun to chat with. Your family is in my prayers, as I know this has just been a horrible tragedy. I hope you are all able to find peace with God's help.
