'More than anything, he longed to be free, so I'm sending him on one last adventure.'

Someone found the glass bottle near Miramar Beach in northeast Florida and reported it to the Walton County Sheriff's Office last Thursday. The bottle, sealed tight with a purple cap, was handed over to Sgt. Paula Pendleton, who opened it from her patrol car. Inside was a small bag holding some human ashes, a few dollar bills and two handwritten letters dated Aug. 1 that included a telephone number, according to social media posts from the sheriff's office.

"This bottle was launched from Destin, Florida. If you find it, please call or text me and let me know. I have left $4 to cover the call," the note continued."Feel free to add your own note, then kindly set him free once again. My son was 39-years-old at the time of his passing and he was deeply loved. Please keep him traveling.""My name is Peyton and I am Brian's daughter. When he passed, I was 14-years-old," the note read.

"We just wanted him to be free, because that was his whole thing. He wanted to travel the world," she told WFAA."I want what's best for him, even though he can't tell me what that is." "He has offered to bring Brian way out into the Gulf so he can continue his adventure," Pendleton wrote in the text, according to the sheriff's office."But, before that, I want you to know he got to do a ride-a-long with a deputy before drifting out once again."
