The Blog of Death

May Brian rest in the Peace of Christ!

Brian, had found a higher calling and was getting his life back at the time of his death. I resent the press depicting him as a total idiot. This incident was who he was a year ago not who he was when he died.

Brian Florence was a sweet, loving brother, son, father of 3 boys, and great friend. He was led astray but found the right road again. His death was a shocking tragedy and the many wholoved him will miss him

Brian made a mistake. He was a loving, caring person who did many other things in his life that was good. He was living a good, clean life and was very sorry for his mistake. He was a Christian and I know he is in Heaven. All of his friends and family mourn him and their loss.

I do not think Brian made a mistake. I heard the show and I was entertained. I was laughing hysterically throughout that whole show. Brian was having fun, and I hope a part of him still clung to the idea that his actions were not in any way dangerous or 'bad'

I'm sorry that the puritan values of this country made Brian and Loretta suffer as examples of what is not 'tolerated' by society.

Those of you that have posted above me are obviously closer to him than I am, but I still stand by my assessment that what Brian did was harmless and did not deserve such outcry and legal hassles.

Brian, may you rest in peace.

It's truly sad and regrettable that there are some people who think that committing a lewd act in public, in a house of worship no less, is merely harmless fun. I hope this young man repented for his sin before his untimely demise. It's a lesson for us all

for all of you who didn't know brian , he was such a caring person. I remember one time he bought me a makeup set for christmas. Brian was my uncle , and despite what he did i'm proud to have the same last name. Unless your related to me , you wouldn't know the Brian I knew, he was loving he was so talented , I never really got to see him before he passed away, but i did talk to him, and yes he was sorry for what he had done, and I know he's in heaven. I just recently got married and I really wish he could have been here to see my new husband and I. i know he can still see me from heaven. I know he made a mistake, but even though he did, he's my blood, and i'll defend his name.

My Brother had a kind heart and will be missed by his family and friends>
I Love you and miss you,

God is merciful, and if he sincerely repented by asking for forgiveness in the name of Jesus, then I am certain God forgave him.

HAHA the asshole is currently hanging out with Mohammed Atta in HELL !

Brian was a sweet man with a generous heart. He was my cousin, and I personally remember him for his life as a whole, not for one mistake he made. Thankfully, I believe God sees us the same way, and does not judge us based on one isolated moment in our lives, and instead sees our whole lives and the happiness we brought to others. I remember Brian for the fun times at the beach and the laughter at family gatherings, and I know the family will too. May he rest in peace.

The thought of what they did in St. Patrick's (or any other Christian church), frightens me. I remember when a couple of guys in Houston held up an evening church meeting, at gun point. After they got the cash from the offering plates, and lifted the valuables of those in attendance; the leading would-be 'robber,' age 22, fell over dead. His young partner abandoned the whole effort and ran out of the church. Isaiah said that God "hides himself" from the world--He wants us to make our own 'autonomous' decisions. Nevertheless, His apparent absense doesn't negate the reality of His being. I am not saying that Brian is in hell. God loved Brian, and, I'm certain, dealt mercifully with him prior to his death. But what Brian DID sent a hair-raising dare to his maker; before an adamant and unbelieving world. Brian's blatantly untimely demise was God's answer to that high-handed behavior. Brian is very probably in heaven--because God is so very, very gracious. But the world will still be forced to deal with the concept of the existence of a holy God with whom we may not trifle.

I believe someone of you have forgotten the meaning of "tribute" and that this page is for that and that only. The last I understood, tribute meant "something done or created to show thanks or respect; expression of admiration, compliment, etc." This site is not for determining whether or not there is a god, whether or not there is a heaven or hell, whether an individual is one place or the other or to air anybody's dirty laundry. No one has the right to judge anyone else because none of us can say that we haven't done anything wrong, anything that we don't regret, or anything that God would turn a blind eye to. To me, the worst thing that anybody could do is take someone else's life. I was Brian's very first girlfriend and he my first boyfriend (5th grade and part of 6th and for me, 6th grade and part of 7th). 43 yrs later, I still remember him as being very thoughtful, kind, giving, loving, sensitive, fun, loyal and dependable, etc. His life ended way too early and will be missed by many.

Brian made a huge mistake and is suffering the eternal consequences. He knew it was a grievous sacrilege but chose to do it anyway. Stupid is as stupid does.
