I have only known Brian for about three years. We met when his daughter Lisa and my son Colton were dating. He became a good friend over the years. His ability to listen deeply, and speak openly were two of his best attributes. He was a loving father who was very proud of his children; Lisa and Jesse. He was supportive but yet he wanted them to experience the world for themselves. Brian had a profound sense of gratitude for all life. Celebrate his life, but also share your sorrow. Joy not shared dies young; sorrow that is not shared never dies. Peace be with you.

BRIAN VELTROP WAS A GREAT MYOFASCIAL RELEASE MASSAGE THERAPIST. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF RECEIVING BRIAN'S WORK DURING A MYOFASCIAL INTENSIVE RELEASE INTENSIVE OVERSEEN BY KARA RANDALL, MA AT BALANCED BODY WORKS IN 2008. ADDITIONALLY, I HAD RECEIVED A MYOFASCIAL MASSAGE TREATMENT FROM HIM IN JANUARY OF 2009.
I AM DEEPLY SADDENED AND IN SHOCK TO LEARN OF HIS DEATH. I SEND MY CONDOLENCES TO BRIAN'S FRIENDS, FAMILIES, RELATIVES, AND OTHER MASSAGE THERAPISTS IN THE COMMUNITY .
BRIAN WAS A VERY COMPASSIONATE PERSON WHO I WILL TRULY MISS.
R.I.P. MY FRIEND!
