When we were all about 19-22 we used to all go to Brians brother Bobs which is really when I realized how close to his family he was. We all used to joke that he was secretly dating his amazing sister Kristin because they would hug like I've never seen any brother or sister do which was actually beautiful in retrospect. Then enters Donna who's my fellow sister Gemini just as Dom Marcheese is as well. When Donna entered Brians life the world of Brian didn't change at all except a new Paradigm "Brian + Donna" (George Carlin inside joke) we've had many of those together. Brian has the kindest soul you can have ever understand & if you were let into his world which I was privileged to be part of in so many days, nights along with a life time of super memories which nobody can take away & will echo in time as they should. One thing Brian and I shared which was really funny that I never really told anyone before that occurred after a night out with The Boys when It was my rotation to drive which Dom & John "JB" would usually coax me into driving which & is just another really funny great memory because we're all brothers anyway I would drop off the last of the boys usually JB, Joey, Bill, Scoot, Tristan & Troy Boy that's when Bri would just say "Tommy P turn it on" and it was unsaid after a while to put on and blast a song nobody would ever believe which makes this story so great. Whitney Houston's super hot "I will always love you" which was on every station at the time over and over again & Brian didn't care he just started belting out that song without any worries & it's something I can never forget because it's just one of those things you had to be witnessing but if you know Brian then you can imagine it just like his love for Pink Floyd's "Wish You were here" which everyone of our friends knows is the Brian O'Rourke anthem song ironically. The best of us is all from Brian which I can say I am proud to have been any part of his life which will never leave me & I know so many others who he touched with his soul. The most giving & generous person you will ever know is Brian Thomas O'Rourke

I am so sorry to hear about Brian. I remember when he was born and your mom would sit outside and feed him while we were all running around playing. My thoughts are with you all during this sad time.
