Brian,

I refused to believe you were gone.
It has been only a few weeks we were laughing so hard to see the aftermath of you working with Snoop. I'm sure you had a great time and now you are truly high in the skies.
You were so much fun to be around and you'll be greatly missed by your show family.
May you rest in peace and we'll catch up in stories when we meet up again.

I send my deepest condolences to your family, loved ones and friends -Nastashia Friday
