BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – Brian Kuklewicz was a Cheektowaga native that grew up on the east side of Buffalo. He leaves behind his wife Karen, they were married for 14 years. He was a devoted father of 8-year-old twins who will have their 9th birthday on Wednesday without their father.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The last time I saw Brian was at a reunion a few years ago for our class.\u00a0 I have always been amazed by our class and how everyone from it has gone on to do a lot of great and wonderful things…Brian included.<\/p>\n
It is very hard to come up with words at a time like this, but BFA sends its continued thoughts and prayers out to everyone affected by this tragedy.<\/p>\n
This was very hard for me to write…just heartbreaking.<\/p>\n
