Dear Dr. White, Claire and Family
My sincere sympathy to each of you. I remember Brian as a little boy at the dental office or the pool parties at your home. By the looks of the family pictures, and what I read about Brian, he lived life with passion, excitment and greatly valued his family and friends. What a wonderful opportunity for someone like myself to visit a small part of Brian's life and see who he became over the years. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
Sincerely,
Toby Haske |

Dear Dr. White & family,
I opened your personal message regarding your son Brian this morning.
I am deeply sadded by the tragic loss of your son Brian. I am a new patient of yours, and so we have met recently and briefly.
Your son's death once again awakens my grief for the adult son I lost 7 years ago. I cannot compare my loss to yours and I cannot possibly realize your painful loss. But I do understand what it is like to lose a son so young.
Please accept my sincere sympathy. It appears that you have many, many friends that share your grief. I trust they will surround you with their love and understanding and compassion and do whatever it is that you and your family need.
Do whatever your heart tells you to grieve, celebrate Brian's life and his love for you. He lives on in your hearts and will forever.
I am so very sorry. |

My sincere sympathy goes out to the entire family. I hope that comfort can be found in God's Word the bible at Rvelation 21:3,4. This scripture was able to give me comfort when i lost my loved ones in death. May we all look forward to this promise that death, pain, and all the former things that cause grief will soon be done away with. |

The services for Brian were held today, and I was honored to be there to hear the stories and loving memories told by his family and friends. In reading the many entries in this guest book and seeing the many more who attended the services inside the church, which became standing room only along the walls, and the many more who may not have been able to get inside, I became aware of the many, many lives that Brian touched in his short, tragically too short, time with us and especially with Lauren. I knew Brian only for a couple of years through working with him off and on at Cameo Studios when we would meet up to photograph a prom or other event at a local high school. I began to know him better one summer while helping out at the studio for a couple of months. Tony Caminiti, his friend first, co-worker second, and boss third, hit the nail-on-the-head, when he said that it is a great testament to Brian to see the number of lives he touched in his short life in seeing the number of people who came to pay thier respects. I feel a sense of loss now for not being able to know him even better, but I know it pales in comparison to the loss felt by Lauren for not being able to know him longer, or for his daughter, who will not have a chance to meet him at all. Yet, Brian will be known to Mackenzie through the many stories, mostly humorous I think, that will be told by his family and friends. I think I will count myself lucky if I have touched half the number of lives in my whole lifetime as Brian did in his too short 27 years. Lauren, I am so very sorry for your loss. You were cheated the most. Brian was taken from you far too soon. Yet a part of him will be with you for the rest of your life; in Mackenzie he will always be remembered. |

Bill and I are saddened by the news of your son's tragic death and we send our hearfelt sympathies to you and the girls. Bill and I remember a group of us as young couples meeting weekly together at Westminister Presbyterian Church in Bay City, Michigan. We studied how to live the Christian life how to be good spouses, and how to be good parents. We studied Larson and Miller and Ogilvie. We praised God. We were good church goers, and we were good parents. We never thought it possible that one of our children could die before us. But we learned that as parents our arms are not long enough and our laps are not big enough to hold our children forever. That's why we believe in God and heaven, the resurection of Christ and the life everlasting. Christ's arms are long enough and his lap is big enough for our children. We see Brian on God's lap. |

When I heard of this tragedy tears came immediately to my eyes. I was in the middle of teaching a first grade class and got a text from Kristin, which never happens. My first reaction was praying for all of you and Brian. Please know that my heart goes out to all of you and my thoughts and prayers for strength and peace have been coming your way. You are a wonderful, loving family and I am so thankful to know you. I love you all and will miss Brian very much. |

Today is Friday, May 2, and we have just learned of the accident that took Brian's life. We are shocked and saddened that such a young life and a new family relationship has come to a tragic end. We are so sorry to hear of this, but want Lauren to know that we are thinking of her and the family, and our prayers are for you as you mourn this great loss. We never were able to meet Brian, but knew that he was the joy of Lauren's life. Our sympathies and love go out to the entire family. God Bless. |

Kristen, Bryan, Claire, Bruce,Lauren and the rest of the White clan,
I was sick when Mia told me the tragic news of Brian's accident. I cannot imagine what that is like for all of you? I have only interacted with Brian a few times, but I have been around the rest of his family a lot and the love and support that pours from those individuals is incredible. I am picturing Claire's HUGE smile that she always has and thinking of how she is so loving and kind to everyone. I am sure that smile is not as bright as it once was and that makes me sad.
Cry, hug, and laugh as much as you need to. Mia and I wish we were there to support you in this time, but our positive energy is being sent every day.
Much love and future smiles,
Brooks |

As trivial as it may sound at first, I am Lisa's hairstylist.
I was not fortunate enough to know Brian, Lauren or the rest of this amazing family as of this writing. I look forward to knowing you sometime and seeing Mackenzies beautiful face.
Of course I heard of this tragedy when it happened and my heart broke. Two days later found out that it was my friend and client's brother.
After hearing the stories on that day from Lisa and Eric of Brian's character, how much he meant to this family my heart broke once again.
The stain that is left on my being is not who this man was and who he left behind but the family antics. The closeness of this family.
I want you to know as a wise woman who has lived a life that has had it's challenges and observes life and pays attention to others lives so clearly....what has touched my heart the most is the closeness and love that this family shares.
There is nothing greater in life.
Hold on tight and be thankful for this. Not everyone has this.
I am thankful that you have one another and the cheerful memories of this loving practical jokster.
You are truly blessed by God.
Without knowing all of you, my love is with you all and prayers of quick peace.
With peace and love,

Kristin and Lisa,
I can only imagine losing a sibling must be like a piece of you suddenly went missing. Kristin, I love you and wish I could be there to give you a hug. Please call me whenever you want to talk.
Mr. and Mrs. White,
My heart breaks when trying to conceive of the grief you must experience losing a child.
And Lauren,
I've never met you but I know how much you are a part of the White family which is a testament to Brian's love for you. I hope you can find strength and peace in the knowledge that Mackenzie will KNOW that her father was a great man and that he is always watching over you.
I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful man who meant so much to so many. You are all in my thoughts daily. With love, |

I had the pleasure of meeting Brian last month when Nick was in Dallas visiting....he was a wonderful and kind person- we had a fun night laughing and getting to know each other. A true aviation enthusiast and good dancer I must say! Brian kept telling me how excited he was to become a father! My heart crys for you and your family as I am also saying good bye to a increadible person in my life. I feel fortunate to have met Brian and want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers! |

White Family,
I am an alum of NAU and Sigma Nu who graduated a while before your son/husband attended. I didn't know him, but was greatly saddened when I heard the news. I speak for my family and all of the Sigma Nu Eta Iota alum when I say our thoughts and prayers are with you. In learning more of Brian the same phrase was consistently spoken, "the greatest guy you'd ever meet." If there is anything the alumni chapter can do for your family at any time please do not hesitate to contact any of us.
Deepest sympathies, |

Dear Lauren,
I'm a cousin of Nick's and I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am that you also lost a loved one last week. I can only assess that Nick surrounded himself with wonderful people, including Brian and yourself. I say this because even in a time of deepest sorrow for yourself you take the time to write your thoughts on Nick's guest book. This means a lot to his family and I want you to know that I have been praying for you and MacKenzie as well as Brian's family. I know that your baby will be a special little girl with her father looking down on her from heaven. Know that you are not alone and always call on Jesus in your times of need. Take care and God bless you and your baby. |

I will cherish everything that you have brought to my life. To your family you are in my thoughts and prayers. Brian you are going to be missed by all.

It is very touching to read these amazing memories posted by friends and family members. Brian was an incredible person and will certainly be missed by all. Our family always looked forward to seeing Brian at family gatherings. He had such a positive outlook on life, and was a joy to be around. Brian was fantastic with all the kids. He had the kind of energy it takes to keep them entertained. I know he would have been an excellent father.
We love you Lauren and Brian |

Brian, I am so lucky to have gotten close to you and Lauren these last few years. You lived life to the fullest and your light touched all who knew you. What I remember most are the practical jokes, your selflessness in helping others, getting me to do things I normally wouldn’t do and your ability to make all of us smile & laugh through it all. You made my life a better one for having known you & taught me much about what is important. I miss you greatly but know that you will be with us always! You are my brother and my friend. God be with you! All my love, |

It has taken me a long time to be able to write something in here. There are no words to describe what an incredible person you were. You were always willing to play legos (and sometimes barbies)with me as a kid. As an adult you were always the first one to help me with whatever I needed (watch my cats, build the swing set, plant bushes, and fix the sprinklers). You were much more than a brother to me. I am so thankful that we lived so close to each other. I was able to spend more time with you and I really got a chance to know Lauren better. Thanks to you I have gained an incredible friend in Lauren. My kids also got a chance to see their "chunky doo" more often. It was so much fun watching you play with Peyton and Erin. They truly adored you and could not wait to see you. Their eyes would light up every time they talked to you on the phone or saw you. I know you were going to be an amazing father. I love you and miss you very much! |

May God grant you strength and peace during this time. I just learned that my two sons, Brad and Matt were in Sigma Nu with Brian at NAU. They have fun memories of a friend, a great guy, and good bro.
God Bless You |

I had the pleasure of working with Brian for almost seven years at his father's dental practice. He would come through that door and I would look up and see that mischievous smile and wonder what am I in for today. What tricks is he going to pull on me today? He was always trying to get me in trouble with the boss. I would try to think of different ways I could get back at him and finally my day came. It was April 1st and when he came in that day I told him he needed to go to Staples to pickup some supplies. I also mentioned he needed to ask for a Mr. Stapleton who was holding a special order for me. Off he went in his cheery mood. He called me from Staples to tell me there was no one there by that name. I proceeded to tell Brian that he needed to insist that he see a Mr. Stapleton and that I placed an order with him that very morning. He called me back again and insisted no Mr. Stapleton at Staples. Oh Brian, I said, it must be April Fools Day. Gotta!!!!!. As I think back over those years Bruce and Claire I can only smile for the joy, laughter and fun Brian brought into my life. Brian, thanks for being part of my life. |

To Brian’s Family and Friends
I have shared many wonderful events with the White Family and am very sad to have to share Brian’s Celebration of Life Memorial. God has taken him as one of the young angels and I will remember him as a hard working, fun loving and loving person. I always enjoyed talking to him about his flying adventures and to listen to him tell about his increasing knowledge of aircraft. I will miss him and will keep him in my memory.

Dear Claire, Bruce, Lisa, Kristen, Eric, Bryan, and most especially Lauren,
Thank you for creating and nurturing the bright spirit, Brian. I always saw him with a smile or a laugh, full of happiness, and perhaps a secret joke. I especially remember him and Lauren as they presented the “calendar” last Christmas with the “hidden” message announcing a special birth, and the joy as those not aware of the message, when they understood a new baby was on the way. He was funny, creative, smart, loyal, loving, and a million other things that you know better than I. We will feel Brian in the blowing wind. We will think of him when we see planes or birds flying. We will think of him when we look at the stars, or feel the sun. He is everywhere. He is so missed here on earth, one of God’s early angels. You are in my prayers for comfort.
Love, Britta Latto |

Dear Mrs. White:
I am writing to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband. From the comments already left he was a kind and gentle, man, one that will be greatly missed. I just wanted to share a thought from the Bible with you at Psalms 55:22."Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself. And he himself will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to totter." I know at this time you may feel all alone, noone to really talk to and understand what you are going through. Pour out your worries,fears, sadness, etc. to our Heavenly Father Jehovah and he will sustain you. Once more I am so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely, |

Brian you were always so funny. Wheneve i came to work with my mom at Cameo, you would always talk to me. You were a great person. You were the prankster of the office. We never told you how great we thought you were. I had really good times with you. I'm sorry for your wife and baby. I know be with them in spirit. I will never forget you. You are in my heart. |

Brian, I love you so much! You’ve touched all of our lives and hearts in such a special way. You’re such a fun-loving, incredible person with so much enthusiasm for life. The world is at such a loss without you. I cherish the times we’ve spent together, and especially all of the times you called to play a prank—I fell for them EVERY time! I am so deeply saddened to have lost you so soon and I miss you dearly. I go to sleep at night with tears in my eyes and wake in the morning thinking of you and Lauren and baby MacKenzie.
If I am so blessed to make it to heaven, I’ll be looking forward to you playing a practical joke on me (in heaven as it is on earth, I’m sure your personality will shine through wherever you are), and most of all to hearing your laughter and seeing your smile! It makes me smile to remember. I am so blessed to have known you! And just a bit of advice—don’t play too many pranks on the big guy up there; he might just knock that halo a little crooked.
Sending my love and prayers to all—Bruce & Claire and family, Nancy & John and family and to Ron, but most of all to Lauren—I love you, Sweetie, and baby MacKenzie, too!
Love, Aunt Sandy |

He would always give me hints on football and working out and i think that's how ill remember him the most. I will always remember him as a hero who saved many liefs. My prayers go out to his family. |

Dr. Whites Family....my name is linda, i'm a part of your dad's (papa's)team..although, i never had the oppurtunity to meet Brian, i was able to know him and your family thru your dad's (papa's) funny stories, that he shares with not only his staff but his patients as well....he tells them with such love and pride that he takes us to that moment in time and we to are smiling and laughing. we can see and feel how proud your dad (papa) is of each and everyone of you. i believe only a parent can excuse any choices or mischief a child has created and make light of a situation and one day they become great and funny memorie to be shared...Mackenzie, you will be joning a wonderful family full of love and a proud papa who will make us smile and laugh when he speaks of you.....XOXOXOXOXOXO |

For those who knew him, you know what I am talking about! He always put a smile on everyone's face, no matter what the circumstances were. He was an amazing guy. My heart goes out to his family. Lauren, you and your daughter are in my prayers. Keep your chin up. Brian is a hero. He could never be forgotten. |

To all of you in this time of sorrow -- I saw this quote and you came to mind.
"Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart."
God bless. |

Brian- You were always my "other" big brother. I knew way back in the day when you drank milk straight out of the jug in the fridge that you were family and would be in my brother's life forever. I was fortunate enough to get to know you over the last couple years more as a friend of my own also. Your friendship means so much to C.J. and also to our family, you will be truly missed. I hope you are enjoying heaven.
To Lauren & her family and the whole White family- my deepest condolences on the loss of a husband, a son, a brother, an uncle and an all around amazing man.

Brian was part of our Cameo "family" for a long time. I see him every day because we have pictures of him & Lauren all around our Studio.
Brian always made me laugh, always made me smile, simple put, Brian was a good guy.
He was my co worker & my friend, I love him & I'll miss him dearly.
My deepest sympathy to Lauren & the White & Ashe family.

God bless you Brian and all of you beloved family members.
You were an awesome person. My favorite memory of you was when you called Cameo and pranked me for over a half an hour. I was so mad at this kid on the other end of the phone because he kept asking the stupidest questions and he wouln't let me haing up. I was so so mad, and it didn't even click into my head that you told me like a week before that you were going to prank me. But of course that is how you are, always playing pranks on everyone.
You will always be missed, and live in our hearts for the rest of our lives. My deepest apologies goes to your family and loved ones. May God be with you... |

No one will ever be able to replace you. There is just too many great memories! Lauren, I love you and will always be there for you!

To the White Family and Lauren's Family,
What an amazing young man you raised! He was a wonderful friend of my nephew, Eric Lochner and therefore was a part of our lives for many years. When Eric and Brian shared their first apartment together it was like "Felix and Oscar" living together; never a dull moment to be had! His smile was big and his laugh infectious. It was a pleasure to have Brian and the gang at our house. You could see they were all such wonderful friends and the laughter and jokes never ended.
I can't begin to imagine the intensity of the sorrow, pain and grief you all must feel from this loss. Please be comforted knowing that there are so many people that loved and cheerished his friendship. Your families are in our thoughts and prayers; please let us know if we can help you in any way. I will cheerish the memories and am grateful that Brian was a wonderful part of our lives. With love, |

Lauren, Claire, Bruce, Lisa, Eric, Kristen, Bryan, Nancy, Pop, and family - I don't even know where to begin ... I am so very sorry for your loss. Brian was an amazing, fun-loving, good spirited, and kind individual. As I write this I struggle to find one moment to comment on. I have very few memories through my entire life that don't include Brian, Lauren, and/or both families. Mrs Goldman calling Brian "dimples", swim team at SAC, youth group and summer trips with pvcc, Mrs. Bolen's gigantic bun, ice blocking, eating cake when Brian got his braces off, family ski trips, "mountainry", graduation, football games, flash, Brian and Eric Latto convincing me my house was haunted, TP ing, 21st birthdays, summer school, Big Bear, the list just goes on and on. Brian's fun and good spirited nature were contagious to all he lives he touched. We have all lost a truly amazing person and he will be deeply missed. You all are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. Please let me know if there is anything I can do ... not only during this difficult time, but always. I love you all dearly. |

Even though we meet briefly, while you trained me at Cameo to take your job so that you could be the awesome pilot, I know you were, you touched my life. Brian had the most amazing way with people and such a good and full heart. He has made an impression on so many hearts. I will miss having you pop by the office and bother everyone in that Brian White way. My love and Support goes out to all of his friends, family and co-workers. You will never be forgotten. |

Brian we will all miss you deeply. You were part of the Cameo family. I considered you to be a good friend as well. We had a lot of fun here together. I will remember you as the fun, prankster that you were. Like the times you'd swipe our car keys and hide our cars. Or tape our phones to the ceiling and then call us and laugh while we searched for our phones. And when I said I wanted to quit smoking, you took all of the tobacco out of my cigarettes and replaced it with pencil shavings.
We will all miss you! Keep flying Bry! |

It seems so unreal that you are not here. I will miss your wit and humor that you brought to family occasions like last Christmas when you & Lauren revealed the baby's due date by placing it as a date on a personalized family photo calendar. You are so loved by many. |

Brian,
All my life I wanted a little brother and I got you when I married Lisa. Since you are a part of my daily life, I’m not sure where to go next. The tomato party is coming up which you helped start. I can’t see having this without you there. What am I going to do at ASU games. Who will jump on my back at every touchdown while I run up and down the stairs? The kids want you here to wrestle, joke, go swimming with them and play basketball. There’s one certainty in this life…that we all will die. Only a handful of us can give their lives like you did yesterday. You are such a great pilot and only you could have turned that plane around. I’ll tell your daughter how brave her daddy was. I miss you so much.

I have known Brian since I was in grade school all the way through high school. He lived in my neighborhood in Scottsdale when we were growing up. We played freshman football together. He was a real good dude, laid back kat. This type of thing makes you really think about life and how precious it is. This makes 3 people I know from my high school that have passed away. Sad business here. My deepest condolences for his family and friends. Words can't describe my feelings at this point. My dad passed away in 1999 and I know what it's like to lose a family member. Anything I can do let me know. rahmun@gmail.com |

With a fervent heart I pray for the people affected by the loss of Brian White. I never met him, but I met the millions of pictures displayed of him in Lauren's office at work. I want you to know family, and Lauren especially, that God loves you and that He will never put more on you than you can bare. I pray for the legacy that Brian leaves behind, his beautiful daughter who will be born in June. I am thankful for the life that Brian lived and for the people that he has inspired.
Rest in Peace Brian White. You will never be forgotten.
Peace & Blessings,

Brian was truly a beautiful person. His heart was kind and fun-loving even when I knew him in high school and I know he will leave a footprint on everybody's hearts that he touched. I remember building houses with him in Mexico on a mission trip and having such an amazing experience with him. I know that he is already having God and those angels laughing up there. |
