Condolences
I was a freshman when Bryan was a senior, and my friend and I thought he was the coolest guy ever- he was in gym class with us, and he seemed so old and athletic and capable and smart. Best part is, he was nice, even to us small freshman girls- it was great, he gave us a chance. He wasn't mean like a lot of the other big popular guys- just a great heart. I also helped him get ready for the Mr. Belvidere competition- I remember straightening his tie because it was really crooked and he told me thank you- it was so nice to be recognized by someone like him.
I'll always remember him that way.

Dear Cliff, Denise, Adam, and Erik,
My prayers go out to your family. Bryan was a role model to me and i will never forget the few memories i shared with him, the extraordinary enthusiasm on life, and the passion to help others. Adam and Erik you had a great brother like other. Best wishes to your family.
Dear Cliff, Denise, Erik, Adam and family,
I am so very deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Bryan. I remember a bright, beautiful boy, filled with energy and wonder at the world around him. I have two very distinct memories of Bryan and both occurred at my cousin's pig roasts.
I remember him and Erik in the playpen - all of the chaos and partying around them - quietly playing with each other as if no one else was there. Denise, you stepped over to check on them and he gazed up at you like you were his whole world!
Cliff, I also remember when the boys were a bit older and you put on a fireworks display in my cousin's back yard. Both of your boys covered their ears and looked at you like you were king of the world and the coolest dad alive!
I'm glad I got to see those stolen moments; what a gift they are. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and Bryan will forever be in my heart.
Love Always,
Francine
Dear Hendrickson Family,

Sending my love to one of the most sincere, generous, and kind familes I've ever known. God bless you all!
I'm sorry for your loss,If there is anything I can do,or you need to vent,I'm here.
Dear Hendrickson Family,
I met Bryan during Permaculture training last summer and was so impressed by his vibrancy, intelligence, and unparalleled enthusiasm for life. I am honored to have been able to know him and I extend my deepest sympathies.

Dear Mr and Mrs Hendrickson,
My heart hurts deeply for your loss. I looked up to Bryan in Boy Scouts, as well as in school. I'm very sorry for your loss, and words can not describe how much he will be missed.
Bryan struck me as one of the most amazing old souls I have ever met. His passion for actively making the world a better place via sustainability was incredible. His warmth, hard work, wisdom and creative enthusiasm far exceeded that of most 23 year olds, or any other age for that matter. The world needs more people like Bryan. I know he is still with us yet has passed to a beautiful place. God Bess You Bryan, as well as Your Loved Ones.
To the Hendricksons I am sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to have coached Bryan in football and he will be greatly missed. You are all in my prayers.
There are no words at this time that will take the pain away, I know. We can only hope to ease the sorrow you feel and let time heal your family and give all of you fond memories of Bryan. Our prayers are with you. God Bless.

Clif, Denise, Erik and Adam:
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is a memory of our lives
here in Belvidere from the very beginnig. I remember when our 'little boys' played in the rocks, while the 'big kids' played soccer those many years ago. Your boys were always part of the picture as my kids grew up. And now one is so tragically lost. Please remember that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Although your loss is personal, is also felt by the community. May God give you His Comfort.

Cliff, Denise, Erik and Adam,
My sister Jennifer Tomitz shared the sorrowful news with me on Wednesday night. May God wrap HIS warm arms around all of you and guide & comfort you through this tough time as he did with my family when my 14 year old brother passed away unexpectedly. Our family is a true testament on how important family, friends and your faith will help you today, tomorrow and the months ahead. As hard as it will be, this is a time to celebrate Bryan's life. I read his achivements and they are ones all of you should be proud of. Bryan will always be a part of your lives. With thoughts and prayers, Sue Leto
We are so sorry for your loss.Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Words can't even begin to describe how this feels and my disbelief when I got the call. You were 5 when I met you and your family and I was "Aunt Maria" for 15 years. So many memories and so much sadness and loss for everyone who knew you and the promise your life held.
You will be missed.
And to those left behind I offer my sincere condolences and hope you find the strength and love of your close knit family to help you on the path ahead. Love, Rie
i am sincerely sorry for your loss. Bryan and i worked together at Hot Dog Johnnys through high school and college. He was always so much fun to work with and i am very glad i got to know him in the years we worked together. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
Cliff, Denise, Adam & Erik,
Words just can't explain the sadness I feel for you. We go through life questioning why things like this have to happen especially to good people but the answer just isn't clear. Your faith is what has to get you through this and it is with that faith that you will know that Bryan is safe and free of any darkness or sadness he felt in this life as we know it. He is now forever surrounded by light & happiness. You will see him again some day and it is then that you will never have to say good-bye that's what so wonderful about Faith. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are truly sorry for your loss.
Hendrickson Family,
I have truly enjoyed having the opportunity of knowing Bryan for the past 12 years. I first met him playing sports in 5th grade and then we shared that same bond all through High School. Bryan was always one of the hardest workers on the field and in the classroom and his presence will be greatly missed. We shared blood, sweat, and tears every Friday night on the football field. We shared jokes during the summer on our traveling baseball teams and shared ideas at school in student government. We will all miss Bryan for what he was, a son, a brother, a teammate, and most of all, a friend. My prayers go out to your family.
Our deepest condolences on the hearbreaking loss of your beloved son Bryan. He touched many lives with his infectious smile & kindness. We pray that the wonderful memories you have made together will comfort you in the days ahead. May the Good Lord continue to Bless & Keep you & yours.
Connie Minutello & my son Christopher Minutello
The amount of memories we have knowing Bryan, Erik, and Adam is absolutely endless. There was nothing more to look forward to than when Labor Day, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July were approaching and knowing that the Hendrickson boys would be there to celebrate it with us. Besides his charming presence, there is one other thing that we wish we could thank Bryan for and that is for being the son that my father never had. He filled the empty spaces in between that we could not fulfill as his daughters. The smile that he put on our father’s face when he played football with him is a smile that will never, ever be replaced. Our prayers, hearts, and minds are with you, Denise, Cliff, Adam, and Erik. Bryan will be in our hearts for eternity.
Dear Hendrickson family,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you during this very difficult time. We had always admired your wonderful boys at church and around town. It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of your son, Bryan. He will surely be missed. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Thom, Wendy, Justin and Tyler Hover
I remember when we used to hang out in the shop, play music, sing, and work with each other. We were such good friends. Even while we were working, he always managed to break the tedium of the menial things with a crazy, fun idea. When I heard of his passing, I was heartbroken. I will always remember his smile, his unique vision on life, and his humor. I'll never forget you, Bry. Ever.
Cliff, Denise, Erik & Adam,
I am so sorry for your unimaginable loss, and I pray you will find the strength to bear this. The time I spent with your family, in Mine Hill, was fleeting, but I know the love that is there. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate. Fran knows how to reach me.
Dear Cliff,Denise,Erik & Adam,
We are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved Bryan. Our memories of the boys playing together when they were small will always be a treasure.

Please don't hestitate if you need anything at all. God bless your entire family!
To the Hendrickson family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Bryan will be missed very much by all.

Dear Hendrickson Famiy,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Bryan was a great guy. He was a great leader and motivator in Scouts and has always inspired me. I remember helping him with his Eagle Scout project and receiving his thank you letter for it. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met. Once again I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.
Romazan Scott
My deepest sympathy for your loss, may the happy memories that you have long outlive your grief.
To the Hendrickson Family,
The pain and sadness of your loss is incomprehensible. A bright and gifted life is gone from us all too soon. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that so many hearts and prayers are with you during this devastating time. We remember happy pre-school days, tee ball games and seeing you all at the Belvidere Pool. We witnessed your boys growing into such fine young men over the years and now we are all so deeply saddened by your terrible loss. We pray for your strength to endure.
I didn't know Bryan well. I met him last year at a street festival I organize in downtown Trenton. I was walking through the festival one day, and noticed a group of guys operating what appeared to be the shell of a tipi. They were manipulating the apparatus to create art. I'd later lean this technique was called pendulum painting. It was exciting to see young artists doing such creative things in Trenton. They became a welcomed addition at another one of our events, the Capital City Market. People would huddle around the "twins", as we affectionately referred to Bryan and Erik at our office, to see their creations. From time to me we'd run into each other at events around town , and I kept up with his work via postings on Facebook. It was incredibly sad to hear of his passing this morning. I always felt he and Erik were destined for great things. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Denise,Cliff and family
We are deeply saddened for your loss.Please know your in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Hendros,
Our hearts are extemely heavy...we search for words....we know we have been around a great person. I knew this man named Bryan, some thoughts of him include....tight end, great smile, quiet--we kidded him of that often, lockdown corner, 22 waggle, TD, hard worker, the flag pole, 86,400, wise beyond years, good tackler, twin, happy, intense, intelligent, peace maker, Eagle Scout-very proud!, personable, weight lifter, ethical, oh so much more to share...., absolutely wonderful to have known. God is in control, and to all the Hendro's; only trust Christ......We love you all, and we loved your son as our own.
Love
