On the morning of September 19, 2026, Brian was doing what he had done countless times before: serving his community as a deputy sheriff.
Brian got into his cruiser after kissing his wife and children goodbye.
Without warning, everything changed.
While on duty, investigating a call, Brian suffered a stroke. Suddenly, he lost his vision and realized something was terribly wrong. By God's grace, he was able to reach his radio and call for help. That call set into motion the emergency response that would ultimately save his life.
Brian has spent his entire life serving others. Whether wearing a badge, working long hours of overtime, taking on extra jobs to provide for his family, or serving on mission trips to help families in need, his life has been marked by sacrifice. Helping people isn't just what Brian does. It's who he is.
When Brian sees someone hungry and in need, Brian is the first to bring them a meal.
When a stranger needed help with their vehicle, he stopped, and didn't leave until the car was working again. If a friend or family member was struggling, even if they lived several states away, Brian packed his bags and went. He has always been the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back without expecting anything in return.
Above all else, Brian is a devoted husband and father to a handful of beautiful children, all under the age of seven. Everything he has done, every overtime shift, every extra job, every sacrifice, has been for them. Providing for his family has never been a burden. It has been his calling.
Now Brian faces one of the greatest battles of his life.
The road ahead will include hospitalization, rehabilitation, medical expenses, and time away from work.
While the future is uncertain, one thing is not: Brian's family needs our help.
For years, Brian has answered the call whenever someone else was in need. Today, we have the opportunity to answer the call for him.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to help relieve the financial burden on Brian and his family during his recovery. No gift is too small, and every act of generosity reminds this young family that they are not walking this road alone.
If you are unable to give financially, we ask that you join us in praying for Brian and share this link so others can also be praying.
Pray for healing, for strength, for wisdom for his medical team, and for peace for his wife and four young children in the difficult days ahead.
Thank you for standing beside Brian, just as he has stood beside so many others.
Together, we can help carry this family through one of the most difficult seasons of their lives.
