I an so saddened to hear about Brian’s passing. My heartfelt sympathies to you, his family. I knew Brian in college at Rollins and in the years after. He was hilarious (as we all know) and we shared many laughs. I am so, so sorry.
Brian and Laurie, We’re so heartbroken and so very sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathies are with you. We love you. Chris & Sophia O’Keefe
Robert and Laurie I’m so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Flaherty family. I had the honor of being Brian's boss for 7 years and even a better honor of being one of his good friends. Our love of golf always kept us together on the course. One of the kindest and most genuine people I will ever meet. Beyond our love of golf I got to go to California with Brian and when I won the Master's raffle a couple years ago I couldn't think of a more fun and loving person to bring with me. So happy to have had those experiences with him. Going to be tough to play golf without thinking about him, but I know he will be there with me hopefully knocking a couple balls in for me along the way.
Love- Slim
Brian will be greatly missed- he had a way of making everyone around him feel better and making the worst day better. I wish I had gotten to see more of him over the last few years, but his warmth and his way of making everyone feel comfortable will always be remembered. Sincere condolences to his family, he is gone way too soon, deeply saddened to learn of this giant loss.
Robert, Laurie, and Family- We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers! Cassie (Stellmach) Mitchell & Family
Brian will be so missed by so many. I have countless amazing memories with him. Theme parks, parties, plays, books, movie nights… he always made me laugh and could make anything fun. My heart goes out to his family who he adored above all else. I’ll always miss you B.
Brian was a great friend and I truly believe we shared the same excitement each time we crossed paths. Our friendship spanned more than a decade and crossed over from professional to personal lives. My many fond memories of Brian will live on, he will forever be missed at the annual Chubbs Peterson Memorial Golf Tournament and he will forever be a Mission Inn Club Champion.
There are so many great memories with Brian. Mostly I remember his amazing sense of humor and what a wonderful friend he was to me. Truly devastated and praying for the Flahertys ♥️
Brian was one of the most honest and reliable friends I ever had. There are so many memories that made me smile when I think of him. One of my favorite memories with Brian was when he, Ben, and me were housemates in Maitland, in our twenties. During Halloween, we would go out of our way to decorate, play Halloween music, and have scare stations set up to spook the trick-or-treaters as they walked up to grab candy. All the families who came by loved it and we often invited more friends over to help make it more of a low-budget haunted house for the neighborhood. Brian always looked forward to this as he loved everything Halloween. While he enjoyed Christmas the most, Brian made the most of October by putting up Halloween decorations, watching horror movies with friends, going to Halloween horror nights with friends, and attending costume parties. Every October, Brian and I would try to watch a scary movie each week and couldn't help but to provide scathing commentary throughout, making it a hilarious and memorable time for everyone.
