Colette Butcher says
I had the pleasure of knowing Brice through my son-in-law, Jase who is one of his grandkids. He and Winnie would stop fairly often to see Jase, Jody Jax and triplets Cade, Ian and Milo. When you ask Milo what his name is he proudly says “Milo Brice Kinsey”. Brice adored them. He will be missed by all that knew him. He was a wonderful man and it was a pleasure knowing him.
