B is my nephew
Brian was born on August 22, 1981 in San Francisco, to Dr. B and T . He grew up in Kern County with his twin brother B and older brother J. He graduated from El Camino High school in South San Francisco.
Growing up, B played AYSO soccer with his twin brother B and excelled in that sport along with baseball and football. B also attended college in the bay area as well as Kern Co. He transferred to UCLA where he took upper division courses in science. He was a kind, caring and very generous person. He would do anything to help someone in need. When he saw someone without, he would do whatever he could to make sure they had what they needed.
B had a magnetic personality and wonderful sense of humor that drew people to him. He loved chemistry, but also enjoyed math, science, and loved animals. B also enjoyed golf, collecting baseball cards and comic books.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of B at such a young age. His family and friends will miss him dearly. He was loved by everyone who knew him. He touched the hearts of everyone who came into his life. We look forward to the day we will be reunited with him in heaven.
B was preceded in death by his twin brother B and his beloved Mother T Brian is survived by his father Dr. B Gloeckner; brother J; aunt and uncle G & V; Aunt C; Uncle J ; Aunt and uncle S & S Gloeckner; Aunt and uncle S & T Brown; and numerous cousins.

B had a genetic heart condition that was detected after his twin brother passed away. He received a heart valve transplant in 2015.

Poets rhyme about it..Writers write about it..Singers sing about it..And people complain about it..It is time, There is never enough time when we want to spend it with those we love.
Time is what those of us who knew and loved B were robbed of. We all wish we had more time to spend with him:
Time to laugh with him: Time to see his face light up with that huge smile.
So many ways & adjectives to describe B. Spunky, Big Heart and soul. Friendly, Energetic, Charismatic, Spontaneous, Creative, Generous, Intelligent. Resilient, yet Tough
He loved sports, such as soccer, baseball and also enjoyed working out. These were just a few of his attributes.
Memories are the threads that make up the fabric of our lives. We all have special memories of B that will live forever in our minds.
I remember the first time I met Brian. He was a bundle of energy. I was surprised any boy could be that rambunctious. We stopped at an AM-PM, and B ran to the soda fountain. Immediately, every single flavor of drink was being mixed into a cup. B called this crazy drink a "suicide drink", and it looked terrible! However, he raved about it, and drank it all. At this point, I knew the times we would spend with him would be memorable.
B loved animals. He had a gentleness that animals were aware of, and accepted.
B was spontaneous and creative. When B passed away, B went into the backyard and designed and built a memorial tile fountain for him. Without any previous experience, the tile memorial was built. The twin brothers shared so much. They even had their own way of communicating as children. It was like their own language.
Aunt C tells the story of going to a Sporting Store, and suddenly discovering B is nowhere to be found. She forbade anyone from leaving the store, worrying he was lost or even abducted. Frantically searching, he was finally found hiding in a coat rack, laughing and having a great time watching the ruckus he had created. This is how B was.
An old proverb says you can tell a lot about a man by his shoes. B had a pair of shoes. He gave them away. Why? Because he had a BIG heart, and he saw that someone else needed them more than himself. Along with that a big heart, he had a generous soul that cared about others possibility more than himself.
Another time, C was out and about when she ran into B. They chatted awhile, and she could see he was having a bad day. Asked him if he needed anything; anything at all. In spite of having a bad day, all he said he needed was a simple hug. This was B. He didn't ask for much, unless it was something he could share. He shared his heart with his twin brother so much, that both of them had similar congenital heart conditions. B shared that big heart in many ways too:
R remembers him making sure his friends shared a Thanksgiving dinner, rather than eating and keeping it all for himself.
J remembers him also giving up a coat to someone else who was colder than he was. Yes, B had a heart, and an unselfish, generous soul. B treasured his friends and relationships, not his possessions.
Maya Angelou once said:
"If you find it in your heart to care for someone else, you will have succeeded" With Brian being as unselfish as he was, I believe he succeeded.
Sometimes, B would stop by my office to say "Hi" and talk cars. B was smart, and we would have great conversations about so many different subjects. He was always respectful, courteous, and friendly. I'm sure his personality reflected this to the world.
We are lucky that we live in a time where videos capture so much of our lives. I'm sure we all have videos of B that we will now pull from our dusty, closet shelves and replay, so that we can cherish and laugh at the life, and soul we are here today to honor. Some of us have already shared a video through social media. In this way, time allows us to continue B life.
Unfortunately, time took this young soul from all of us too soon. Parents are not supposed to bury their children. It goes against nature. When a parent loses a child, the world slips off its axis and spins out of control. The universe mourns, knowing it has gone against the circle of life; children should bury their parents, not the other way around. Both T and B had to bury B; and now B has had to bury a second son, B.
The club of the broken hearted, the club every parent prays to avoid. The club where one day you were whole and the next broken beyond repair. Breath and joy have been sucked out of your body and replaced with a pain so powerful, your soul is lost in the grief. Your world is shattered beyond repair. Two of your children are gone.
I can't even imagine the hole that was in T,s heart for the rest of her life after losing Brad. Now B's heart, having to also lay B to rest. J now has lost both his brothers, along with his Mother T
I wonder how J will go on, knowing that he will never again here on earth see the brother(s) he loved until he is reunited with them in Heaven? How will he survive an hour, a minute, or even a single second? How will he hold himself together? J, I want you to know that we, as your family, are here to be with you; to grieve with you; and to console you. You will never be alone.
I, and all of us here today, cry with J and B. Because all of us aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, have lost Brian too. We need to remember, though, that "Grief is the price we pay for love". We all shared a love for B. We can all rejoice in the fact the we at least knew him, and shared tiny bits of time with him that will stay with us forever.
Psalms 39, verses 4 to 5 speak to us about how little time we have:
"Lord, help me to realize how brief my time on earth will be. Help me to know that I am here for but a moment more. My life is no longer than my hand. My whole lifetime is but a moment to you."
No matter how short B time was here on earth, his compassionate soul will live forever in Eternity, and also in our memories, thoughts and minds. Because those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into our infinity.
1st Corinthians Chapter 13 says:
Love is patient, Love is kind, Love does not envy, Love does not boast, Love does not seek it own way. Love is not provoked, Love does no evil, Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness. Love rejoices in truth, Love covers all,
Love believes all, and Love expects all, Love endures all,
Loves never fails.
B was kind. B was not envious. He didn't boast. He was full of love, and that love he had will never fail, and never end. I believe B's soul will live forever in Eternity. B will be wrapped in his mother's arms, along with his twin brother. Since he and B started life together, I believe they are once again together. I know that B , B and T are beside Jesus in Heaven, where good souls spend a timeless Eternity. And I know that Brian had a Good Soul.
Helen Keller wrote:
"What we once enjoyed and deeply loved, We can never lose,
For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us"
B will always be a part of us all.
