Professor Fawks was one of my favorite professors at Lincoln. He will be missed.
To Bryan’s family I send my deepest regrets upon learning of his passing. He and I worked on many policy issues in the Capitol. I could always count on his honesty and humility.

So saddened to hear about Bryan. He was my boss at DMH in the 90s. We will be out of town and I will not be able to attend his life celebration, but wish to send my coldolances.
I am so sorry for your loss. I had Mr Fawks as a Professor last fall at Lincoln, at the time I was going through chemotherapy. He was willing to work with me if I wasn’t able to go to class, even giving me an email of a company that would come in and help me clean my houseMay God be with your family at this time
