Brylle, we will never forget you. You have been part of our lives for more than 13 years, well 4 for me, but still. We will always love you and will always remember your name. I hope that you’re already in a happy place. Watch over us ha? Thank you for everything Brylle, for all the fun memories you shared with us all. Our BUTTman, our model, our Brylle.

May Brylle’s soul exit his way from purgatory and proceed to heaven. Rest in peace, Brylle. We love you so much. — Jeff Bangsal and Dondi Romero

Pare, isa ka sa mga close guy friends ko dahil na din sa parents natin, at dahil sobrang bait mo, hindi lang sa akin, pero pati na din sa iba. Salamat sa lahat ng tulong mo, pare. Sobrang sakit sa akin na wala ka na, pero alam kong masaya ka na ngayon dyan sa itaas. Hinding hindi kita makakalimutan, mahal kita pare! — Virginie Biagtan

You will be our inspiration. Thank you for the sincere advices and the warm company you have given us. We’ll miss you. Staydiya! — Nina Posadas: girlboy

Brylle, sana masaya ka na kung na saan ka na ngayon. Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan lahat lahat ng ginawa mo para sa akin, la lo na nung magka-text tayo nung gabi. Brylle, kahit ngayong high school lang kila nakilala, gusto kong malaman mo na, meron kang espesyal na lugar dito sa puso ko, hindi lang bilang kaibigan, kundi bilang isang kapatid. Sa araw araw na niloloko mo ako na bubugbugin mo ako, hanggang sa muscles mo diyan sa likod mo eh mawala, naging masaya ako. Alam mo ba, pumayat na ako, nakakaasar ka naman, hindi mo man lang nakita yung kapayatan ko, basta, hanggang sa muli. Hinding hindi kita makakalimutan. Salamat at ingat sa biyahe. — Robert Erfe

Alam ko na nasa magandang kinaroroonan ka at tiyaka alam naming na andito ka lagi sa tabi-tabi at binabantayan mo kami. Hindi naming iisipin na wala ka na, kahit mahirap. Kahit sa high school lang kita nakilala, napamahal ka na din sa akin. Ang bait mo kasi tapos nakakatawa pa. Mamimiss ko yung pagkakasabi mo ng ‘OK’. Basta, ingat nalang diyan, we love you pare! You will always be in our hearts, bye bye! Bon voyage pare! — Beau De Asis

Brylle, alam mo, I really can’t believe that you’re gone. Grabe, nakakalungkot. Kahit hindi kita masyadong naging ka-close, at least, nakilala parin kita. I wish you good luck on your journey. You’re really touched our hearts. We will never forget you! — Ces De Asis

Hi Brylle! I can’t believe pa rin hanggang ngayon. Masyado kasing biglaan. But I know you’re in the greatest place na. Siguro masaya ka na ngayon.

Thank you Brylle for everything. Hindi kita makakalimutan pare. See you soon. — Bea De Asis

Cho, ingat ka diyan. We’ll see each other soon din. Rock and roll. We love you. — Pauline De Vera

Partner, rock, Buttman… Being with you since childhood has been fun… It’s still hard to accept the fact that you have to leave us so early… I’ll always remember you as the smiling-face tall dude whom we cheer ‘LOVE THE GAME’ for playing basketball… I can’t remember any sad time I’ve been with you… perhaps that’s because you love making your friends laugh… Thanks for supporting our band… that’s one face I’ll never see in the crowd from now on… But I’m hoping that one day, I see you again singing with the songs we sing, and jamming with us… I’m hoping that one day I’d be able to cheer for you again at the big basketball court in heaven… tho life has been short lived, I’m sure you’ve been true with what you always say… “Love the game!” — Rastian Alezzi Gauna: Rock!

I’m sure that you have found true peace and real happiness where you are now! — Marco Banez
