In Loving Memory of Breanna Bryant Edwards & Brian Switzer

With heavy hearts, the community of Berea mourns the tragic and untimely loss of two lives taken far too soon in a senseless act of violence. Breanna Bryant Edwards, 35, and Brian Switzer, 42, will be remembered not for the tragedy that claimed them, but for the lives they lived, the kindness they shared, and the impact they made on everyone around them.

On that heartbreaking day, both Breanna and Brian were simply doing their jobs—serving their community with dedication and care—when their lives were suddenly cut short. Breanna passed away at the scene, while Brian fought for his life before later succumbing to his injuries at a nearby hospital. Their loss has left a deep void not only in their families but also in the hearts of coworkers, friends, and the entire community.

Breanna will be remembered for her warmth, her compassion, and the light she brought into every room. Brian, known for his strength and character, leaves behind a legacy of kindness and resilience that will never be forgotten. Together, they represented the spirit of hard work and humanity that defines so many in Jessamine County and beyond.

As loved ones grieve, we honor their memories by holding onto the moments they gave us—the smiles, the laughter, and the love that will continue to live on. Though their lives were taken in a moment of violence, their stories will forever be told in love, remembrance, and respect.

May their souls rest in eternal peace, and may their families find strength during this incredibly difficult time. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. 🕊️
