Q: What was Brian like as a child?
A: Brian went to St. Martins & Bishop Timon with my son, Vince Carroll. Bryan was a quiet boy who just wanted to be with his friends. The Carroll Family remembers Brian’s smile! He would quietly laugh but he was a great kid who my son, Vince, told me, he really enjoyed hanging with Brian because he was so likable.
The Carroll Family wants the Conner family, no one is forgot in South Buffalo! The Carroll Family’s thoughts & prayers are with the Conner family!

Brian was one of the first friends that I ever had and I feel so lucky to have known him for over 30 years. Our neighborhood, South Buffalo, and beyond lost a really great person. He will be missed by many.

Brian and I have had so many good times together. Each time I would spend with him became a core memory of mine.
Whether it was Ellicottville debauchary or forcing him to hang out with me at 7 am he always did with the biggest smile.
Bri was the kind of person who you never forget. He was infectious and instantly made people feel like they were his best friend. He was was endlessly selfless, caring
and I am honored to have known him.
Bri,
I’ll look for you on the slopes and every time I walk in to 40 and look to the end of the bar.
Wishing I could get one more big hug. Thank you for the impact you made on my life. Until we meet again… love ya

Bri was one of the few people who gave more to people thank he took. He dated my beautiful sister for several years and become part of our family. One day I couldn't find my car after a late night out and sure enough Bri came to the rescue and found the car while he was on patrol. Every time I would see him he would ask about my dad or my brother Nick who lives in California, genuinely interested to make sure they were OK. Because he was always more interested in making sure other people were OK than himself. I love you Bri. Thanks for being such a good friend and for always taking care of our family Bri. I will miss you deeply.

I hope this memory does what it’s intended for, which is make everyone smile and remember the good times they had with Brian. Although I don’t know the Connors family well, I knew Brian, which is to say I knew he was a good hearted, charismatic, funny, easy going and generous man. He was liked by all and loved by most.
I’d do anything to be able to text you to meet up for lunch, knowing full well if I tried to pay for it you would throw my wallet across the restaurant (happened numerous times). You were selfless and kind, even when you didn’t need to be.
I wish I could randomly quote “The Town” with you once more, even when it made no sense and was completely out of context.
Lastly, I wish I could see you one more time. Randomly, out at an event, bar, or restaurant. Walk right up to you shake your hand and give you a hug - which happened so many times unexpectedly. You brightened up the room, made people laugh and smile, made outsiders feel welcomed, and were a true friend.
Until we meet again B-Dude.
Love,
Danny, Taylor and the McFarland Family.

My heart is heavy. Bri was honestly one of the best. A forever friend who always checked in no matter what stage of our lives we were in. We met in high school. Catching up always felt like we picked up right where we left off. He saw the good in people always. Bri had so many friends and touched so many peoples lives. He was the type of guy that would do anything for anybody. I’ll miss his pep talks, his contagious laugh, his love for a good dance party, our country music song sharing, and the banter ab the Yankees/Guardians and even his love for Tom Brady. You will be deeply missed Bri Pat.

Mr, Mrs Connors, Marie, these words can not do Brian justice. I have been to a lot of places, involved in a lot of different things... I knew Brian for a long time, saw him last back home. Brian was someone I absolutely adored! He was such and amazing guy. This world won't be
the same without that smile. I am crushed, I can't imagine the grief you are all dealing with. Sending so many prayers your way. This is an epidemic in law enforcement and needs to be addressed. I pray he is at peace now
