My brother pass on to the other side on 6 Feb. 2002. He was a carbon copy of me everything I did he did, His bithday is September 19 and mine is September 25. I loved my brother very much and protected him as much as possible, which was maybe not enough. The memories that I had of him in the past 18 years will last a lifetime. Often it is a haunting experience to remember, but on the other hand it can be very pleasant. I am currently applying to the Tipp. co. sheriff's department, because it was our dreams together. This scholarship will help some kids acheive their goals, and some day fullfill their dreams. I would love for this fund to help some boy or girl become a law enforcment officer and serve by my side some day. Please help as much as we are. For their sake, my sake, my family's sake, and My brother, Bryans sake. Thank You.

Bryan IS my brother. I love him very much and can't express how much it hurts to not have him around. Bryan, Phil, and I all had fun growing up together. We had to stick together and take care of each other. I have a 3 year old son, which would be Bryan's nephew, and I look at him every night and tell him I love him. I remind him of Bryan constantly and he still reminds me every once in a while, not that I forget about him. So, I believe that if there is any person out there that has a brother, sister, son, daughter, or whatever they may be; I strongly urge everyone to be close to the ones you love and the ones that love you. I learned from Bryan's death, that life is too short to live it miserable. If anyone is not happy with their life, do something to change it so that you can make your life happy again. You never know when your last day or someone you care about's last day will be.

Bryan really enjoyed teasing Betts and playing jokes on her. He always treated us with kindness and respect. Not being a family member we always appreciated that. As I remember when he was a little boy he liked to play like he was boxing with me. We had the pleasure of baby sitting with him when he was little as we with his dad.

Betts and I both will always be grateful the way the Snyder family welcomed us into their family. As a result of this kindness we think of all the other children as our grandkids by our own choosing, have never regretted the choice. This relationship has brought a lot of happiness, pleasure, and joy to us.

May God bless Bryan and his family. With love, Betts and Bus

Bryan and I used to have a lot of fun together. Since my brother and Phil were too old for us, it was usually Bryan and me. We used to play video games together, ride bikes and four-wheelers, attempt to build tree-forts, and whatever else we could find. I remember my mom used to always make me go out there for basketball games, I always hated going out there, but once I got there I wouldn't want to go home because I was having so much fun. This one time we were out there and all of us kids were hanging out having a fun time, my brother and I didn't want to go home so we got the idea that if we iced over the driveway my mom wouldn't be able to make it out. So we took a bunch of water and put it all over the driveway, it froze and my mom couldn't drive up it. But the adults were just too smart for us; they put hot ashes down on the driveway. Needless to say I ended up sleeping in my own bed.

We used to play video games together, ride bikes and four-wheelers, attempt to build tree-forts, and whatever else we could find. I remember one time when I brought a friend out there to enjoy in all the fun I had when I was out there. His name was Tim. On this occasion Bryan, Tim, and myself were riding big wheels down the driveway. We would set up bails of hay at the bottom of the hill in case we couldn't stop. Tim was having lots of fun flying down the hill on the big wheels. Bryan and I always had fun doing that. Tim ended up making it so we weren't allowed to do it anymore. He was going down the driveway like he had many times before, but on this instance he had his leg too low to the ground. His leg hit a drain at the bottom of the hill causes a huge gash in his knee. He had to go get stitches, and we weren't allowed to use big wheels on the driveway anymore.
