![]() ![]() I am so blessed to call you a cousin, friend, and little brother. Such a beautiful young man with so much to offer. Brian was not only a friend but my big brother.īrian, words cannot describe what we are all feeling right now. He was always there for me and willing to talk. We would have heated Madden games where it would usually end in him winning. I would visit him in his dorm while waiting for my next class. We began to get closer and closer as we shared many classes together. Brian was constantly there giving me feedback and advice. We were on e-board for the upcoming semesters, and I got lost on what to do. Brian was the one who got me to join Phi Delta Theta, as he showed me what true brotherhood was. ![]() Brian would make me laugh and smile by cracking jokes or even just walking into the room. He would give me advice and lead by example. Brian was a year older than me, but he was the older brother that I never had. We debated what moves we needed to make for the teams to improve. We would attend numerous sporting events together and cheer on our favorite sports teams. He was a brother to me, and he was my best friend. When we were older, we would go on drives and sing our favorite songs, talk about our lives, giving each other advice. It started with talking and getting concessions after our baseball games. I can’t explain how thankful I am for you, Brian.īrian has been my friend since the fourth grade when we would play each other in Little League games. The tears now are only temporary, but the memories we made, the conversations we had, and the bond that we shared, will live on in my heart forever. You were the best friend I could have ever wanted, exactly the person I needed. Everyone needs a best friend in their life, and I can’t explain how honored I am to be able to call Brian mine. Brian, you were such a bright light and brought happiness to an unbelievable amount of people. You always showed so much joy and would not accept it if we weren’t doing the same. You lit any room you walked into, and it was so contagious. Many methods were done to perfect those things, I saw it first hand, you name a teeth whitening method, and Brian did it. Those pearly whites didn’t come for free. You had the greatest smile in the world, and you worked hard for it. No matter where we went or what we were doing, as long as you were there, I knew it would be fine. If I ever needed anything, I knew you would come through for me. Brian, you touched my life in ways I cannot even explain. You were elected president of our chapter unanimously. During our time in the Fraternity, you matured into an amazing leader and an even more amazing person. The second we walked through the doors of 626, the men of Phi Delta Theta greeted us with kindness and respect. We knew we wanted to join a fraternity, and Phi Delt was the first house we went to during recruitment. We grew so close to one another during our time as roommates that it felt like we were more family than friends. If I wasn’t at class, I was with you, Brian. During our time as roommates, we spent virtually all of our time together. It was the most exciting time of my life. We were so excited to start our college journeys together. Both our choices ended up being MSU, and before you knew it, the guy I met at the allergy table in eighth grade was my roommate at college. Along one of the countless car rides we took with one another, we decided to be roommates if we decided to go to the same college. We would drive up and down the lake jamming out to music and talking about anything that came to our minds. Every Sunday night after you got your license, you would pick me up from my house to get smoothies. Whether it be car rides, watching sports, playing video games, or whatever we did on the weekend, you were always there by my side. We were inseparable throughout high school. ![]() After getting to know you that year, Brian, you became one of my closest friends. I was nervous about being in a new school, and you made me feel so welcomed and comfortable when you could’ve just ignored me like some of the other kids. I remember you sat at the allergy table, introduced yourself, and shook my hand. You were the first new friend I made there. His fellow chapter brothers spent time recognizing the impact Brian had on their lives:īrian, I first met you in the eighth grade at St. As the leader of the Michigan Beta Chapter, Brian was a great friend to his Phi Delt brothers, the Greek community at Michigan State, and those he interacted with on campus. Brian served as the Michigan State Phi Delta Theta Chapter President. On February 13, 2023, Brian Fraser tragically lost his life to a senseless act of violence.
