Geoffrey Crampton wrote a sympathy message

“It just is not fair when one the really good people we know and admire leaves us too soon. Brian certainly was one of "the really good people" in healthcare and in Canadian society. As many other colleagues and friends have noted, Brian was a truly amazing healthcare leader who was dedicated to improving both quality of care and compassionate care. In addition to his leadership roles at CCABC, PHSA and CCHL, he also shared his knowledge with EMBA students at UBC's Sauder School of Business.”

“I am shocked to get this news. I have nothing but fond memories of Brian. His commitment to healthcare and sincere genuine personality have stayed with me.

“I am shocked and so sorry to hear about Brian. He was my mentor and friend since 2009 when he opened the doors to my career. I owe so much to him. We spent countless hours over coffee where he would share stories of his career and offer suggestions and amazing advice on what to do with mine. The last time I saw him in person, when we were leaving the coffee shop he hugged me and said he was proud. I will never forget him. My sincerest condolences to the family. Vinay Nand.”
