I had the privilege of working with Bryan on the Robert Bosch robotics team (Team 324) when he was a junior and senior. As a mentor I observed Bryan’s enthusiasm and leadership abilities. He was a lot of fun to have around and he made our team complete.

It’s hard to understand why God allows our young people to be taken away. I’m certain that He has a purpose for Bryan, both in his life and in his death. My prayers and thoughts are with Bryan’s family.

God loaned him to you for a short while to touch the many lives he did postively and to love and adore you immensly. The fond memories ae all you have now; but soon you will "behold" and hold him in your arms again, never to depart. That's God's promise to you. We love you. Marilyn and Walter Goodson
