Today I was sent an email from MQ ( transforming Mental Health through research.
Having known Bryan's mission and his advocacy toward mental health I believe he would also want us to talk about this- however sad or uncomfortable.
This is not to disrespect anyone's beliefs surrounding what his tribute page is intended for.
If he were still here he would carry on advocating for MIND charity and mental health..
So after listing to this I was sure he'd be someone that would want to share this. It is so wonderful to keep talking about the fond memories of Bryan.. i am making this contribution in his honour of the dedication he had supporting mental health research and charities.
Love Liz & Adam

Brian had been my friend since 2005, when I was at my lowest after my relationship and home were no longer there. Over the years I had many good times with Bryan and he was always kind and genuine towards me.
When my health declined from a back injury, I eventually would work with Bryan at the NOC as he helped me cope with my pain. No matter what he would help support me and remain a solid friend. In May and June of this year, Bryan was part of the tutors in a pain management course I was doing and we would spend time chatting and enjoying catching up. I wish I was able to see he was hurting and be able to offer my support for him.
He will be missed so much, by so many people and I am glad I at least was able to be counted as his friend. To his family, I am so, so, so, sorry for your loss and pain.

I've known Bryan through going to the Nuffield for years and bearing in mind I started going there when I was 11 and I'm now 21 it has been a long road. I started to run out of steam and then met Bryan, he not once made me feel like how I felt was invalid or silly, but he pushed me and motivated me to try new things to help my condition, even on my bad days. And I would try them because I trusted and respected not only his judgement but that he would help me with it all. He was a kind and funny man, I remember joking and chatting with him while doing the things I was supposed to at the hospital and the fact that he was so warm and willing to have a giggle made it that much easier. I can't say enough positive things about him he was a an absolutely wonderful man and truly made such a positive and memorable impression on everyone he worked with, especially this scared little girl trying to get better. I am grateful to have known him even in a lesser capacity and so my thoughts are will all who loved and were loved by him.
I will always be grateful for the impact he made and the confidence he have me and I will always remember him.
