Our hearts broke upon hearing the news of losing B Our hearts broke upon hearing the news of losing Brian. But they will begin to heal through the memories of working alongside him and the warmth of his beautiful smile. We are truly grateful to have shared that time with him.

Makin’ It Happen’s mission is based on building community, and Brian was an amazing advocate for the city of Manchester. He was a beautiful, kind soul that allowed us into his world. We will hold on to memories of his infectious smile, great sense of humor, and his dedication to supporting those who struggled, even as he faced struggles of his own. Rest in Peace, Brian.
