Brian was always the center of a conversation. His ability to remember things from the past, to speak to most any topic and all the people he knew was astonishing. My memories of Brian will always include our summers at Brookside; the swim meets, the activities, hanging out watching the kids play. He loved that place. He will be there in spirit this summer watching his girls swim and cheering them on to do their best!

I would first like to wish our deepest condolences to both the Ballard and McCarty families. My wife Linda and I were both shocked and saddened to hear of all the news over the past few months regarding Brian's health and death.
I wish there was a way to express my feelings about the loss for Brian's 3 daughters and wife. We knew each other since 1964. These past few days thinking of him has convinced me that I have never met another person that comes as close to being the person that we all strive to be as Brian did. And possibly the best personality trait he had was his humility. I am sure knowing Brian made me better in many ways. I am proud to have been his friend. And my heart just aches for all the rest of us, especialy the girls knowing that Brian is gone from our lives. Mike & Linda Lowden.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of Brian's first trial at Harleysville. And the memories grew from there. How proud he always was of his wife and family! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brian was a great friend since we met in college and became teammates, roommates and friends. He is the kind of person that the "good" in our world is about. A smart, hard working, honest, loyal, patriotic, optimistic, fun loving man who put others before himself.
To his daughters: Your father spoke very proudly of all of you when we got together. There is no doubt that he loved you very much.
I feel very fortunate to have known Brian in my life.
I will miss him. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. May God be with you my friend.

My sincerest condolences to Brian's loved ones and dear friends. May God grant you peace and bless you with joyful memories. Brian was my homeroom buddy for 4 years at BCHS (we both were "B"s!). I fondly remember him as a very sweet person. I'm happy we were able to reconnect this year thru Facebook.

I remember Brian from high school and from my neighborhood. I grew up on the 300 block of West Union Street in Burlington. My friends and I were only sophomores when Brian and his friends graduated from high school, but we always remember watching them play sports and attending the high school football games. My condolences to the Ballard family.

Loree, Karlee, Rylee, Mackenzee, May fond memories of Brian be a comfort to you during this difficult time. One of the things that I recall about Brian was his wonderful sense of humor and contagious smile. We will miss seeing him at the bus stop in the morning. Sigh...
Very sincerely, Diana, Mikaela, Alexa & Drew

To The Ballard Family ,
We are so sorry and sad at this news. We have not seen Brain since High School and we barely knew him . He was a freshman to me but a senior to Sandi , well known for his Sports. He always had a smile and We knew how proud he was of his brother , Dave teaching at the time. We also knew Brain was going to soar and make a difference in Our World. * He Did * .
We saw Dave about 10 years ago and he was so proud of Brian this time and his Beautiful Family as in his involvement in the community. "]
May his heart always soar in the Love of his Beautiful Wife , Daughters , Family and Community which he gave so much back to. May his gift of teaching Sports always Inspire .
To Loree , May your family help you through this time with love and your Three Beautiful Daughters with ALL Beautiful names. Our thoughts go out to his Brothers as one has become an angel to look after you , but to loose the baby of the family , is heart breaking.
We had to write something.Brian was always kind and had a smile for Us as he did for everyone. We had to send Our thoughts as hopefully someone will smile . We know his heart will be Greatly missed .
Please know ~ All will be in our heart and prayers.
God Bless.
Carol & Sandi & Our Families.

The absolute last person this should have ever happened to. Brian had love in his heart, a great sense of humor, a strong sense of character, and many many people who loved him. He fought a heroic battle with Cancer and always remained optimistic. I will always miss and love you Brian.
