Nancy, I was totally shocked about Brian´s passing. I´m so sad. I hate myself that I never called to tell him how much I loved & appreciated him. He was SO fun to work with. I have so many stories from those good days. Please keep me & Cindy informed about the celebration this summer. You are in my thoughts & prayers. I´m so sad for you & the girls & me

Today a mutual patient told me of Dr. Brian West passing and I was shocked. He was bigger than life. Through Dr. West I became the RDH I am today. He started with handing me an instrument and stone the first time I met him and said"show me what kind of hygienist you are... I was up for the challenge and put my best edge on it and handed it back. He promptly checked my edge and said well you´re hired." I told him I was just there to observe from Dr. C.Craig Layton ... later I did go to work for Dr. West we traveled to Farmington for Hesperus and listened to auto books and chatted about the themes we had the best talks ever. He was my BOSS and friend. Heaven is a better place with him there Nancy my heart for your loss and rest of your family too

Nancy, my heart goes out to you and your family. Brian made dental visits pleasant and relaxing. He made traveling an adventure. He made life fun and worth living. We are all the better for having known him. This world is a little less bright without Brian in it.

Nancy I am so sorry to hear about Dr. West passing. I will forever be grateful that he gave me a start in a career that I love! What a kind man! I hope all your memories bring you comfort. My deepest condolences.

When my husband came home from his dental appointment with the news he had invited his dentist and his wife to join us on our golfing trip to Ireland, I
Said ok, who are they? I soon learned about two very special people who we were lucky enough to share that trip with and share a lifelong friendship with.
Brian was full of fun, humor, warm and a little mischief ! We will miss him so much. Hugs to you Nancy, thanks for being part of our lives!

Nancy, Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Brian is truly one of a kind, and certainly one of the biggest influences in my professional career. His expertise, skill, foresight, and incredible ability to achieve optimal results is still today inspiring. I cherish knowing both of you. Thank you for your friendship, and the love and support you have shown me and my family. It is truly my honor and privilege to have known Brian. Love

Nancy, I was so sad to learn of Brian's passing. I will always remember his quick wit and humor. He always had a new joke for me on each dental visit. Please accept my sincere condolences for profound loss.

Dearest Courtney and family, Condolences for all who loved him and was loved by him. I only saw him as a dentist and remember his sense of humor and kindmess as he prepped and inserted two implants. He made the process so much easier than I expected and I was/am very grateful. I am so sorry for your loss of this very special man.

So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers for you and your family Courtney!

We send our sincere sympathies to Nancy and all Brian´s family.
We had many years of working together as dental professionals and Dr. West provided specialized care to our wonderful patients. We are happy to know Brian enjoyed many and varied interests after retiring. (We had lost contact in the years since retiring)
May the memories you´ve made remain forever and we pray you´ll feel Gods loving arms round you as you grieve. Steve & Pam Cassida

Dear Nancy, and to Brian´s entire family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Brian´s sudden passing and I send my most sincere sympathies to you all.
I have so many fond memories of our fun times on Lake Powell together, the Bent Shaft Classic and Fletch and I finding you guys in Akumal when we drove from Cancun in that silly multi colored VW bug.
I regret that we lost touch over the years. I am forever grateful for the friendship you both shared when we moved to Durango.
I wish you peace. Know that he will always be with you and he will give you signs when you need him most.

Dr. Brian West was an incredible doctor and an amazing person. Working side-by-side with him, and Nancy for many years taught me so much and was such a blessing. He always had the biggest heart and the bests jokes to tell.

My sincerest condolences for you and your family´s loss Nancy. Sending you love and prayers. Thank you for teaching me so much throughout the years and showing me so much kindness.

Nancy & Family

Dr West was a good person and doctor. I´m so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.

I met Brian when working in the dental profession, and subsequently went to work for him, over 10 years overall. I really enjoyed working with him and will miss him immensely. Rest in Peace Brian.

I first met Brian when my regular dentist referred me to him when I needed treatment. This opened a special, long-lastingbrelationship with he and Nancy. We had many great times at their home and houseboat as t Lake Powell, as well as a shared golfing vacation at Hilton Head Island. We will surely miss him.

Brian was an amazing man and family friend. Often times during high school and college, it was like having a second dad - he always had advice for whatever was going on in my life. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
