Brian J. Gehring

Love you, uncle Brian! Thanks for the laughter!

Brian ….Oh the memories we have from Working at West Arbor together. You were always a gentle kind caring soul . Them Kids used to drive you crazy oh how I remember them days . You tried so hard to be so serious with the kids but always cracked when they made you laugh! Mr. Mark and his pranks with us were the highlight of the day. Miss Yvonne she adored you as did I :) All them days of sanitizing the toys were always a drag lol but we always muddled through it . We made long lasting memories and a friendship that I cherished ❤️ Heaven definitely gained an amazing Angel the day you entered Heaven and walked with Jesus !! You are now free my friend fly high and rest in paradise. I will forever remember you and never forget you. #forgetyoucancer#kickrocks#cancersucks#freeofthebeast#warrioroflife#

Thanks, Brian, for all the good times at church. You were always a friendly and loving presence. We will miss you. <3

I was in middle school with Brian. He was such a nice and caring person! I have thought of him over the years. Heaven definitely gained an angel! Tanya Kientopf (McLean)

Brian was so compassionate and kind to everyone. He asked me to add him to our e-mail list for the Immigrant and Refugee Rights Team at James Reeb Unitarian Universalist Congregation and showed compassion to our most vulnerable neighbors. He was delightful to chat with at our outdoor picnics during the pandemic, careful to wear his face mask and obey all the social distancing and food safety rules. He will be dearly missed.
