My deepest condolences to Matt & the extended family of Brian. My heart breaks over this tragedy. Brian was good friends with my son. He was always welcome in my home. He was happy, polite, & it was an honor when he called me “ma”. One year I surprised Brian with a birthday cake & presents, he got a kick out of that. When he got a new car, he came over to show it off & of course I made a big deal over it. When he was leaving, stereo playing, I made the comment that I could not hear the music so he cranked it up, that car was vibrating!! He backed out of the driveway laughing, music blasting, he was happy. Car out of sight, but I could still hear the sound all the way down the street. Brian was always a joy to have around, he will be missed by many. He will always hold a special place in my heart. RIP my dear <3 with love.

There are too many things that I want to say here.
Brian was such an important person in my life! We met and dated when we were younger, and remained friends for the last 10 years. My wildest memories are with Brian, most of them people might not even believe to be true lol. And any time we would meet back up after some time without seeing each other we would tell and relive those memories, laughing always.
Brian was someone who could pull anyone out of a bad mood with his humor and even just his laugh. I will miss his voice and laugh so much. Our inside jokes will live with me forever.
My family also loved Brian. He helped my brother out when not many others would have and considered my family his own. He was there for me and also devastated when I lost them, and we connected through our similar losses / family situations.
I will never stop missing Brian for the rest of my life. My heart is truly broken, he didn’t deserve this at all. I love you. ❤️
My deepest condolences to the family…fellow homies, and anybody in-between that may have crossed paths w/ Brian at one point or another. Seems like the odds were constantly stacked against him, BUT he persevered and ALWAYS overcame life’s obstacles. Brian and myself were homies for a SOLID 20yrs, he was cut from a different cloth and always took pride in that. Always welcomed @ my parents place (when i lived there) and of course my own over the years. Always a gentleman and kept it a hundo 💯 Of course we’d disagree here and there over certain subjects over time, but it always boiled down to LOVE & RESPECT at the end of the day. Rest in peace Brian, you’ll be surely missed.
Ps – Brian would probably love to see all the homies together, seshing @ one of his favorite spots in Lynn. Perhaps after visiting hrs on Monday ?? Lmk if someone wants to help w/ this, thank u.

I just wanted to say that one of my good friends, Brian Swb(Poitras.) Definitely left this planet way too soon, I used to hang out a few days a week and we would always have a good time making jokes, laughing, going on adventures. I never really had a dull moment with Brian, he was always trying to cheer people up or give advice when it was needed. He always looked out for his friends in anyway he could, and it makes me super upset to see him gone so soon. Brian and I have known each other for about 5 years and I wouldn’t ever wished to see him go so soon… I definitely will make sure to make you proud brother! Please Rest In Paradise.. love you bro.. Definitely gonna make you proud and try to stay happy I’m gonna miss you a lot Brian, and my deepest condolences to the immediate family..
Brian was such an amazing person. He always knew how to light up a room with his presence. He has left us all way to early. He will be missed so dearly. RIP 🙏 Brian we love u!
Hey Brian! I can’t make it tonight and feel horrible! I wish I could! I am so so sorry you were taken way to soon! You were such an amazing friend to me and always had my back. I called you a big brother as well as Robby and Stephen. I remember when I came over one time to hang out and it was just me and you. We talked for a while and had so many amazing laughs. You walked me home several times when the sun set because you wanted me to be safe in the city of Lynn. I remember you always talking about your mom and how much you missed her and loved her. It hurts me so much that someone so kind and selfless like you had to leave the way you did! You do not deserve this at all. my condolences to your brother. Brian you are a great guy and you are missed immensely. I am going to hang wout with Rob AKA Bam for a bit today who is taking the loss of his best friend really hard. Please keep watching over us and hearing our prayers.

I couldn’t have said any of this better myself. The crazy times I had with Brian are still talked about to this day, well over a decade later. I just happened to google his name today to try to reach out to him, and I learned all this had happened. I’m at a bit of loss for words. Thank you for touching all our lives the way you did Brian, you will never be forever missed, and never forgotten. Hang it!
My deepest condolences to Brian’s family and close friends. I was very close with Brian for a long time, some of my wildest memories I can remember were shared with him. Brian was the type of person who made any day or any encounter more than ordinary. Many of the stories I still share with others today about the things we did, are seldom taken as being true stories. I googled Brian’s name the other day to see if I could reach out to him, and learned all this had happened and that I missed his services. I will carry the unforgettable memories of Brian in my heart forever. Many claim when someone passes away that they were “one of a kind”, Brian is an genuine example of that. From all the trips to Boston, Soulfire, Bovas, Londis, Salem willows sangys, Brick Yard, skull rock, to the many drag races we attended in NH together, I will truly miss you Brian and will continue to think of you whenever I do the things we did together. Cheers brother. Hang it!!
