The family of Brian Duquette suggested that instead of sending flowers, a donation could be made to Crime Stoppers in Orlando, Florida in Brian's name. Many thanks to those who did this. Of course, Brian's parents also made a donation to Crime Stoppers. |

Brian's mom made a blouse for herself with Brian's initials in a heart. She wears it every year on Brian's birthday and on the 4th of July. |
We will always love and miss you, Brian. You have been a loving son, brother, and uncle, and just a great all-around person with a lot of friends. You deserved a much longer life because you were a good, honest, and happy person on the path of achieving your dreams of success. We are proud of the man you became and will always love and miss you. Mom, Dad, Renee, Kristen, and Alex |

June 27, 2009 - our son, Brian Lee Duquette should be celebrating his 40th birthday today, but he cannot. I hate you Douglas Lively and hope you rot in hell once you get there. But for now, I hope prison is hell for you and that inmates are beating you up or something like that. |
6/27/10 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 41st birthday, but he had to stop counting at age 39. Instead of celebrating Brian's birthday, the hole in our hearts just got even bigger today. |
6/27/11 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 42nd birthday, and the hole in our hearts just got even bigger today. There is no such thing as closure, even though we got justice. |
6/27/12 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 43rd birthday, but he had to stop celebrating at age 39. Damn you Douglas Lively, I hope your birthdays are rotten along with all of your days as a matter of fact. You do not deserve anything good in your life because you have cheated the world out of all the good things Brian was doing for this world |
6/27/13 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 44st birthday. Time goes on, and our life goes on, but it will never be the same without Brian. The hole in our hearts just got even bigger today. Soon we won't have any heart left. it does not get any easier. |
6/27/14 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 45th birthday if not for Douglas Lively. It is very difficult to accept that in another week it will be six years without Brian in our lives. But Brian is always in our hearts and thoughts. I am not sure how we manage to go on without him. I guess it is just because we don't have a choice. |
6/27/15 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 46th birthday if not for Douglas Lively. It is still very difficult to accept that in another week it will be 7 years without Brian in our lives. But Brian is always in our hearts and thoughts. I am not sure how we manage to go on without him. I guess it is just because we don't have a choice. |
6/27/16 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 47th birthday if not for Douglas Lively. Eight years have gone by and we still cry every day for him, and we hurt because he fought for his life and died in pain. As his mom, I still have nightmares about that. But Brian is always in our hearts and thoughts. We do smile and laugh when we talk about the good times with our son, but it is so hard being without him. |
September 2016 - My dear Brian, you just became a Great-Uncle once again, because Kristen has given Anthony a sister - Gabriella Lee. You were such a wonderful, caring, loving uncle to Kristen and Alex. It just isn't right that Anthony and Gabriella do not get the same privilege. You are missed by so many people. |
6/27/17 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 48th birthday if not for Douglas Lively. Nine years have gone by and we still cry every day for him, and we hurt because he fought for his life and died in pain. Brian is always in our hearts and thoughts. We do smile and laugh when we talk about the good times with our son, but it is so hard being without him. |
6/27/18 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 49th birthday if not for Douglas Lively. The pain of losing him has not gone away, neither has our hatred for Douglas Lively. And don't anyone tell us that hate is wrong. In most cases it is, but we are more than justified to hate Douglas. |
6/27/19 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 50th birthday if not for Douglas Lively. We really wonder what he would look like today. We know he would be successful in business, because he was smart and on the right track. Would he be in love and have a family? We will never know. |
6/27/20 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 51st birthday. I still get sick to my stomach at the name of Douglas Lively. Oh Brian, you would really be enjoying Anthony and Gabriella as much as you enjoyed Kristen and Alex. |
6/27/21 Today would be Brian Lee Duquette's 52nd birthday. Not only is this date hard for the entire family, but so is Thanksgiving, Christmas and all days really. Love and miss you more than words can say. |
