Your love for your beautiful bride, Gerri, and your family, will never be forgotten. You have raised two leaders in Andrew and Michael who will carry the torch for you now and keep our beautiful Gerri safe too. We will miss you, and we will hold onto God's promises until we see you again one day! #HoffmanStrong #WeRideTogether & #HelpEachOther (You have my word I will always be checking in on your family too.) Fly high, Brian. Your work on this earth is done, and we will miss you but see you again one day soon.

When God called you home, he painted a beautiful masterpiece just for you all around the world. Here are some of the photos from May 29th sunset. I am confident God painted this scene just for you, Gerri, Andrew, Michael, and your beautiful family. I know how much you and Gerri loved the water and the sunsets. It only makes sense going to your heavenly home on this particular evening would be so beautiful. You will be missed, Brian. Gerri and the boys will take it from here. We will carry them too.

I know we haven't spoken for many years. I am so very sorry for your family. I have no words that seem appropriate or wise at a time like this. I am thinking of and praying for you. -Susan Freeman Danner

High school study halls took on a whole new meaning when the comedy team of Brian & Ted Meyer were present - right up there with Farley & Spade. Thank you for all the laughs, Brian.

We have sooo many wonderful memories from summer trips to the cottage and for Larry, the time in the woods hunting. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Brian’s great cooking. There hasn’t been a time when I made chicken casserole, chocolate chip cookies or scotches that I didn’t think of you guys. I know we haven’t been close for many years but these are memories that will live on forever ❤️
