Brian was a remarkable man that loved his job as a Worcester County Sheriff's deputy. He loved to help people, and especially children. He was a leader in the war against drugs. Brian had been a deputy for almost 4 years when he met his untimely death.

Brian was taken from us on the evening of June 14, 2000. He was responding to a call in rural Pocomoke when his car skidded off the wet road and struck a tree in the median. Brian was thrown from the patrol car on impact. Several people on the scene did what they could to help Brian until the paramedics arrived. Brian was then taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he passed on.

This page is here to honor his memory, and all that he held to be good.

Brian is survived by his wife and two children. Anyone wishing to donate to a memorial fund for his children can send contributions to:
