PHOTOS OF BRIAN	BRIAN'S MEMORIAL	LETTERS ABOUT BRIAN FROM FRIENDS
NEWS ABOUT THE CASE / TRIAL	UPDATE ON KAREN and LEE

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ENJOY OUR SON'S LIFE! WE REALLY MISS HIM!

In loving memory of our son,
Brian Lee Duquette.

Scroll down to see Brian grow into a wonderful man
who deserved a longer time on this earth.

Some of the things Brian loved: his family, his dog China, friends, technology, dolphins, chess, history, shooting pool, science, Star Wars, astronomy, Stephen King, reading, fine restaurants and fancy foods, helping people, swimming, clothes, his backyard pool and hot tub area, and life in general.

Here are some of Brian's accomplishments: Earned the highest award possible in Scouts - The Arrow Of Light Award, soccer trophies, many reading certificates, almost always on the honor roll in school, many science fair awards, earned a Bachelor of Science Degree, a technology wiz, received a certificate signed by President Ronald Reagan for Outstanding Achievement, and he definitely made the world a better place for many people. Brian always did his best at everything. Brian was on the road to achieving all his dreams and success. Please read the letters people have written about Brian.

Brian's mom bought Brian a book called "There Is Greatness Within You, My Son" by Gary Morris

Here are only some of the highlights from that book that Karen knows applies to Brian:

"You're successful and intelligent, and there is no limit to where you can go or what you can do." "Good morals, a sense of humor, and a loving heart contribute to the wonderful man you are."

It is amazing how Mr. Gary Morris put in writing so many of the exact feelings we, as Brian's parents, feel applies to Brian in particular. I highly recommend this book for all mothers who have wonderful sons.

A quote from the book "There Is Greatness Within You, My Son" by Gary Morris a book that Brian's Mom once bought for Brian:

The following drawings are by Brian L. Duquette

Brian was so talented - He did several other drawings, but they are too big for me to scan and post here. They are all framed and hung in my motorhome (we live full-time in our RV). Brian also did some poetry.

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

Brian:
I cannot stop thinking of you and how you died in pain.
I wish I could have said goodbye and hug and kiss you one more time, or better yet, protect you as a mother should, and undo this terrible wrong. They say time heals all sorrow and will help us through this, the worst time of my life, and I know I will continue to live, but for now I just exist because I miss you so much. I read your writing on happiness at your service, and I know I will be happy again, but not today, not for a long, long time. What it means to lose you, words cannot express. You have been my loving son, a caring brother and uncle, and a good, generous man in life. So many people are better off for having known you, and none of them will ever forget you.

I know you knew Dad and I love you, and we know you loved us. We will love and miss you forever.
Until I see you in heaven…………..Love from your heartbroken Mom

Every year on the second Sunday in December, churches around the world hold a world-wide candle lighting ceremony for deceased children. We, as parents of Brian Duquette, once again attended this ceremony at a local church. In churches, as well as in many homes, candles are lit at 7 p.m. local time (no matter where you are located). This means there are candles lit for a solid 24 hour period around the world. The two RV Gypsies request that anyone reading this could light a candle every year to honor any and all deceased children. Thank you.

A note to Brian - September 2010 - Although you are not here on earth to get to know him, you are now a Great-Uncle. Not only that but your Great-Nephew is named Anthony Brian in your honor.

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.

2016 - This was the 9th year that the two RV Gypsies had to celebrate Christmas without their son, Brian Duquette. Each year, on the second Sunday in December, The Compassion Friends sponsor a Worldwide Candle Lighting Ceremony and the two RV Gypsies go to church to honor and remember their son Brian and bring home their yearly angel.


The two RV Gypsies no longer go to Florida, because the rest of their family have moved out of Florida, So they have not found a church with this type of celebration since, but they still get an angel for Brian each year.
