A firm hug, and "sorry for your loss". And tell them you are there if they need you. And make sure you are.

Your warmth and sincerity will go a lot further than you might think. Like everyone has said, a hug and an I'm sorry will help. Try not to linger too long for it will lead to awkward silence and you walking away feeling funny. Keep it brief and sincere, I am sure he and his family are still reeling and don't need too much said right now. Follow through on promises to call or take him out. He will need it in the weeks and months to come.

Give him a hug and look at him in the eyes and tell him that i know that you may not want to talk about and i understand but if you every want to do talk or go to a game i will be always be ther for you.Don't pressure him just let him open up to you when he is ready!

Tell your friend that if he needs anything to let you know, and tell him you are sorry for his loss his brother will be sorely missed.

'How are you doing my friend. I'm here if you want to talk'. Then if he does not say much, make your way to a corner and wait till he comes to you.

You say, I'm so sorry if there's anything I can do to help let me know.

a hug will go further than any words. just let him know you are there and will continue to be there for him if he needs to talk about it.

You can't make things better. Just say "I'm sorry".
