The day the Bean Family arrived in Indian Valley the Valley became lots more interesting. I have fond memories of playing and riding horses with Brian and Marci from the moment that they became my new next door neighbors. Today I am sending love and light to the entire family.

My husband Bill and I had the pleasure of meeting Brian 2 years ago through his girlfriend Angie. It’ was an instant friendship; He was always friendly, kind, helpful and loving . We had good times playing dice, listening to music outside,, fun times at our ACI Christmas parties and summer picnics and just hanging out. We will miss him greatly . His friendly smile behind that incredible beard and wearing one of his awesome Harley shirts is the way we will remember him. We know Brian is in the presence of the Lord free from the pain he was experiencing here in his Earthly body You will be in our thoughts forever and one day we’ll meet again friend

Prayers and thoughts continue for you all, Love in Christ, Teresa & Keith Guthrie

It's a sad moment in a parent's life when you lose a child and it's definitely not something you will ever get over. With Our Heavenly Father's arms wrapped around you giving you the comfort you so desperately need you will get through it. I believe when the time comes you will be reunited with Brian and the rest of your loved ones that have crossed through to the other side. This message is for all of Brian's family and friends. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Brian had lots of energy and humor that was put to good use raising three children. His expertise at construction kept him busy at work and at home. He could be found with friends and family on a regular basis enjoying each other’s company.

I worked with Brian for several years and were friends for the years after. He was always quick to smile and always talked about his kids. Sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. Great memories of working with Brian and the rest of the crew back in the mid 90's. Many a ski trip and river float wouldn't have been the same without Brian. Rest in peace my friend!
