Our personal message:
"May your whole life become a response to the truth that you've always been loved, you are loved, and you always will be loved. And may you know, may you know deep in the depths of your soul, that there's nothing you could ever do to make Him love you less. Nothing you could ever do to make God love you less. Nothing you could ever do to make Him love you less. Nothing. Nothing."
-- A quote from the journal of Brian Lemke

As the family and friends of Brian Lemke, we celebrate the gift of Brian's life and the 17 years we were blessed by God to have him. Brian's faith in Christ was amazing and inspiring. When told that he had cancer, Brian said that if even one person developed a relationship with Christ because of his illness, it would be worth it.

Brian was a young man after God's own heart, with an unquenchable thirst and desire to serve the Lord his God. Our prayer is for the testimony of his life and his love for Jesus to continue to touch hearts with a message of faith and hope. In a fitting tribute to Brian's life, we have created the Brian Lemke Memorial Fund. Through World Vision's One Life Revolution, this fund will provide help and hope to children and families in Africa whose lives have been devastated by HIV/AIDS. Your gift of love, in honor of Brian's memory, will touch vulnerable lives with compassion and the love of Christ. Thank you for being a part of Brian's life. And thank you for helping to transform the lives of children in desperate need into a legacy of love and hope, in the name of Christ, and in honor of Brian.
