I hate to hear this. I was looking to connect with him because my youngest son is in band and is doing so well. I wanted to share with him his progress and thank him for being a musical inspiration to me, which allowed me to pass along to my children. I like to think Mr. Shelley heightened my love for music when I played trombone at Pine Valley. He started giving me lessons in 5th grade. I remember so many stories that he shared. My condolences to the family. Please be comforted with the fact that he lives on in so many people’s memories.

I had Mr. Shelley for band and marching band throughout school. He was amazing, and the reason for some of my best memories as a kid. He will be in my prayers.

We are sorry to hear of Brian's passing. We were classmates of his at Morris Central School (Class of 1977). We were so lucky to have him as a friend and to have a wonderful class and great memories of our youth. We remember his love of band and music and are glad he got to do that as his career. The last we saw him was at one of our class reunions where the bond we all felt for each other was like no time had passed since high school. Our condolences to all his family and friends. Til we meet again......Bob & Charlene Wells

I was deeply saddened to learn of Brian's passing. I met Brian when he and I were
music majors at Roberts Wesleyan. He was not
only a great musician, but a great friend
with an amazing sense of humor. Although I haven't seen him since Roberts days, he sporadically kept in touch and I always enjoyed our conversations.
I send my heartfelt sympathy to Brian's
mother and family. May God comfort you all
during this time of grief.

I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. I have such fond memories of being in Jazz Band, Marching Band and all other music activities we loved at MCS.
Brian and I shared a love of music and teaching and actually got to see each other a few times in our adult life at none other than the Sherburne Pageant of Bands!
He is such a loss at too young of an age!

Brian was much too young to pass from this earth! I am so saddened to hear he has left us.
Although I have not seen him since our high school days, I will always fondly remember him laughing and sharing beautiful smiles! Band days and stage band with Kelly Collier et al, baseball games and especially singing duets with him when we put on Oklahoma. He was Will and I was AdoAnnie. My first "on-stage kiss" behind his cowboy hat! LOL
Comforting prayers for you, Leona, Barry, and Brenda. I know he will be missed.
Love and Hugs,
Donna Madison LeBarron
