Brian Dockery Obituary

As a frequent Kroger shopper, I often interacted with Brian. He was always helpful and had the sweetest smile. I noticed his absence while checking out and then I saw the memorial. His loss hit me hard. Even though we were only casual acquaintences, I was saddened that a light had left this world. I will miss his presence.

Dear Anna, so very sorry to learn of Brian´s passing. May loving memories sustain you and your family during this time. Sending hugs and prayers.

I am still in total shock. I didn't know Brian real well, but had started growing friends over the past couple years as I shopped Krogers. He always was a kind person and always would come around and talk a minute. Brian will be missed, but as God has promised us all, I plan on seeing Brian once again someday. Rest in Peace my friend! Someday we'll meet again. Prayers for his family are made!

Dearest Anna: An addendum to my memory submitted to you yesterday, 12/17/2023:

This was sent to me by my one sister as we recently lost my other sister. It states:

THE POINT IS NOT (and will never be) TO STOP THE GRIEF.
THAT´S LIKE STOPPING THE OCEAN.
THE POINT IS TO FIND WAYS TO SWIM.

I always enjoyed talking to Brian when I was checking out at Kroger. He always took his job very seriously and was very helpful. I will be praying for his family and friends.

I'll miss talking with Brian Everytime I go shopping at Kroger. He always was a kind, caring person whom laughed at me almost daily scrambling my kids out of the store lol my condolences are with his family. I'll be praying for you all.

Dearest Anna: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Love

I am a regular shopper at Kroger and have made really good friends with Brian over the past couple of years. We knew each other by name and always stopped to have a conversation. I actually just saw him walking near Eastman Rd. maybe 2 weeks ago. I stopped at Kroger after work yesterday as I frequently do, and as I´m standing in line I see the memorial for Brian at the register and I couldn´t help but gasp when I saw it. I went outside to my car and just started crying! Brian was one of the reasons I even shop at Kroger. He will be terribly missed! I will always think of him. I know you don´t know me but I am praying and thinking of his family! I can´t imagine your pain. May God comfort you during this time.

Deepest condolences to my Brother Don and sister-in-law Anna on the passing of Brian. And to all family members and friends.

Brian was a quiet man who attended church with me and frequently sat near me. He will be missed.

Brain was such a kind gentle person. I enjoyed seeing him at work and having the opportunity to cross paths in life with him. I know that you are in heaven relaxing and not having to work at life anymore. Peace be with your soul and one day we will see you again.

I was in the Kroger Kpt. Store really often. I was always Welcomed by this Sweetheart Brian with a Smile and a Hug. I will miss this greatly. I pray we will meet again in a far far better place. Missed but never forgotten My Friend.

Brian was a well known man and loved by all his fellow associates and customers alike. We will all dearly miss him.
