To Brian’s family, I was lucky enough to be great friends with Brian in our late teens and twenty’s. We loved the music and had a great group of friends when we were all single. We hooked up about 10 years ago when he came to see me and Dave Winslow playing at the Marriott and we had a fun time remembering some stories. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He was one of the best friends a person could have and will always remember him.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Brian. May God comfort you and keep you in his loving arms.
Dear Family members,
Debbie and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of Brian. Brian knew Debbie from Ross Jewelers from the Danvers Mall. I knew Brian from being a Peabody Police Officer from Peabody, (ret.). Brian was a great guy, and we had a lot of fun working together in the two cities/town. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers and with you all during this sad time.

I graduated from Lynn English with Brian. I was lucky enough to renew our friendship years later at the Wardhurst Restaurant. My wife and I often saw him and sat at the bar eating dinner with him.
I know he loved his family and was in a great place recently. He was always very mellow and a great guy to be around. He was especially looking forward to our reunion later this year. He was going to put together a pre-reunion party this summer.
He will be missed so please accept our condolences. Later this year, I will light a candle and have a mass said for him in Ireland. I know he wasn’t Catholic but he would have appreciated the gesture. I would like to have had him over to our place there for the fishing. It was not meant to be unfortunately but I know he is in Anglers Paradise now!
I just learned tonight that Brian Casparian passed away suddenly on Monday, May 12, 2014. I’m sure that many of you knew him personally, knew that he was a retired Danvers cop and if you did not know him personally, many of you remember seeing his many posts in this “You know you’re from Danvers, Massachusetts when…..” Facebook Group. He was most recently posting pictures of his Harley motorcycle that he just took out of hibernation for the Spring and Summer and was posting many beautiful cabin style lake homes that he dreamed of living in. I did not know Brian from back in Danvers but rather became friends with him through this group. We were both retired cops and as my Dad was once a Danvers cop also (1950-82) we got to know each other that way. I was shocked to hear of his tonight. It seems like it has just been in the past week that we were talking and messaging each other but I now see where he passed away 15 days ago. Although our friendship was only on Facebook, I will miss Brian…..another old Danvers cop. Always remember; “Plan for tomorrow but live for today as tomorrow is not promised to any of us.” Rest in Peace Brother, I miss you already.
Thank you
