December 25, 2020, a day that the residents of Boundary County would not soon forget. One of their own; their blood, their heart, their friend was found deceased following a motor vehicle accident. He was only 35 years old. He left behind his daughter Haylie, his mother Beverly, his brothers Richard and Carman and numerous other family members and friends.
Bryan was born on July 10, 1985, to Beverly Kirchbaum. Today would have been his 40th birthday.
“Bryan was a fabulous son, dad, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend.” Bryan’s mom, Beverly says, “It’s been nearly five years since he’s been gone, but it seems like a century ago since I last saw him. He will always be in my heart and thoughts as I think of him every day. I love him like I loved him on the day he was born. He gave me such joy. He was fun! I love you and miss you more than I can ever say.”
“He was full of life.” His friend, Jesse said, “He never met someone that wasn’t immediately his friend. He loved his daughter fiercely and she knew it. He had a light about him that people were drawn to, and it was contagious. He will always be missed but left a legacy he would have been proud of.”
Please leave a comment of your memories of Bryan or a note for his family.
Beverly, my heart broke for you then as it does now. No parent should ever have to bury a child. May you be filled with happy memories and the joyful moments you and Bryan got to share
I’m thankful for your friendship now just as much as I was when we were kids. I’m just a phone call away anytime you need me.
Brian was my friend and he had the biggest heart of anyone I ever knew. We worked together at the rabbit Ranch where he loved the animals and his kind heart showed through every day. Every time I pass MacArthur Lake I think about him. I miss him. He was taken way too soon from us.
