Their mother, Kimberly, honored her son in an emotional post:

“I cannot believe you are gone. Our hearts hurt more than words can say. You were the best human we knew, the kindest, purest in heart, and most humble despite all you accomplished. You loved God and you loved us. Now, you are with him, total peace, total joy, watching over us. We love you and we will see you again.”

Brian, 24, was a four-star safety and top 100 recruit out of Bishop Dunne in Dallas. He played three seasons for the Aggies and graduated from A&M last year with a degree in engineering.

Sending condolences to his family and friends.
