I did not know Brion in person, but he was local counsel for our law firm, KML Law Group, and I got the immense pleasure to correspond with Brion on an almost weekly basis for the last 3 years. Brion was reliable, attentive, helpful, and a great person to work with. I send my deepest condolences to his family. I will be lifting you all up in prayer. May the Lord give you all peace and strength as you fix your eyes on Christ.

Went through some excruciating difficult times some years ago. Brion was caring concerned and and didn't charge me very much. We lost everything to an unscrupulous friend who cheated us. He put a lot of time on this and I know our defeat bothered him. Blessings to his family, he was surely a good man.
