布莱恩·D. 凯西纪念奖学金

的布莱恩. D 凯西纪念奖学金 was created to honor Brian’s exceptional life. 每年, it will provide physically challenged University of 爱达荷州 students with additional support to enable them to fully embrace the University of 爱达荷州 experience. Brian believed education was the key to future success, so it is fitting that his scholarship will help others in their educational pursuits.

Although Brian was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at birth, and used a wheelchair from the age of four, he and his family were determined that he would experience life to the fullest. 从萨尔蒙的小学开始, 爱达荷州, to being an active member of the Theta Chi Fraternity during his undergraduate work at the University of 爱达荷州. Brian gracefully helped inform and change these environments to better provide him with the same experience as other students.

Brian was a cherished friend to so many. He will be remembered for his willingness to truly listen and for the outstanding empathy he had for everyone he met. He spent his 25+ year career as a counselor working with many populations, from the youth to the elderly; his gifts and ability to help people knew no bounds.

Brian’s sense of humor was legendary; he could bring fun to any situation. He loved gathering people together to play music, to laugh, to talk. He found a great job in playing the bass with a band of friends in Salmon and other small communities across 爱达荷州, building quite the repertoire of stories along the way. He loved rock concerts and spent many evenings at music venues with his brothers, 侄女, 和侄子.

When asked about qualities that describe Brian, his family and friends chose sincere, 聪明的, 富有同情心的, 忠诚的, 乐观, 有弹性的, 爱的, 给, 平静, 有趣又有动力. It is our hope that the students who receive the 布莱恩·D. 凯西纪念奖学金 will see Brian’s story as inspiration to reflect his qualities and values, and to live life to the fullest, at the University of 爱达荷州 and beyond.
