That's b.s. just sayin..and negative on the memorial sticker

 

Goosebumps

 

r.i.p heaven just got a little more torque

 

Such a shock... He really always was so cheerful. Gave me alot of good advice as well, he truely will be missed. I think we should post a thread in the chat section to just... talk about the things happening in our lives. Maybe if he was able to talk to one of us it could have helped.. We need to have a thread to talk out the problems in our lives, to talk to one another and get advice on anything happening that may be bothering us.. just a thought...

 

Oh no, I just saw this today. I am filled with sorrow from the loss of him, it was always a pleasure chatting with him.

 

sorry if i missed it but i was wondering what the final word was on what happened? i know they were calling it a suicide but whats the final call?

and is there any type of memorial for him down in cruces because i am going down there in a few days and would like to pay my respects to him
and maybe go play in my jeep at some of his favorite trails if anyone else can go

 

Not a day goes by that I don't think about and miss Brian terribly.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels like they lost a legitimate friend, and not just an online acquaintance.

Brian was such a rare soul.. I've never met anyone like him. Always willing to listen, to give advice, lend a hand, make a fool of himself if it meant making someone else smile. It seems so surreal that someone who, to me, was the epitome of alive, could just give up. I wish to god I had known something was wrong, there isn't anything I wouldn't have done to help him. He was ALWAYS there for me, regardless of how I needed him.. I wish I could have been there for him.

We used to talk almost daily, about anything and everything. We talked about him coming to visit me and teach me a thing or 2 .. or 2000...about Jeeps. He was so ridiculously smart, creative, and intuitive! My god. He would send me the most random texts..photos of his passed out roommate that he tied up on his birthday, photos of his meals, It was even MORE random when he had a drink or 2, and I'd get a photo with text like "Hey sksl lsss hahahaha! wow" - LOL. He would constantly tag me in photos on Facebook of him crawling over massive rocks, knowing how jealous I was, and a few times he'd tag me as some random girl or a box of beer, lol. I really miss that. And on more than one occasion he'd tell me he rolled his jeep, totalled it, or hurt himself. He'd then leave me hanging for a day without a reply..then come back with a "LOL kidding! Scared you, didn't I?!" I'm waiting for that text..

I'm currently in a small town where I know a handful of people, none whom I'd truly call a friend and feel I could talk to. I've had nothing but issue after issue with my Jeep, with roommates, my job, even had a health concern a few months back - Brian's the only person in my life that knew about it. Not even my mom. He was there for me, for everything, big or small. And again I'm finding myself in a spot where the only person I want to talk to is him. I had some wine while I was packing last night, and out of nowhere, I got emotional and thought of him. Maybe it's because I'm a silly girl with silly emotions, but I can't help it. I tried to talk to my mom about him when he first passed, and she literally brushed me off, saying she didn't want to hear it. A guy I'm seeing sort of told me the same thing last night.. he said it was "weird", and he "didn't understand why I was so upset". It's things like that that KEEP me upset.. does that make sense? You're all strangers, but yet I feel like it's ok to talk about this with you than with the people who are physically IN my life. That doesn't help me at all. I'm already in a crappy place with crappy surroundings, the one constant positive thing that was in my life is now gone, and I have no other way of dealing with it than trying to talk.. I feel like it's silly, to be so affected by the passing of someone I never met. But then I'll retract that thought and replace it with "He was a real person, flesh and blood, and he was in my life, be it via a computer and a phone, or across the street. He's gone, and I miss him, and there's nothing wrong with that".


I'm really sorry to ramble on so much, and I'm sorry to bump the thread and bring back any emotions or sad thoughts.. I just need to talk about him I guess. It's really eating at me. It's also why I'm trying to get back on the site, and remain here. I needed somewhere where I could talk about him once in a while, share stories and memories.. I knew he didn't agree with my ban, and he (sorry to rat you out now, B) but removed the IP ban so I could at least creep the forums and look for help via other people's questions. And especially now that I can't ask him for his help, I like having access to the many many threads and posts he had.





Till we meet again, Brian.

 

rest in peace...

 

As we give thanks today. Lets not forget the people we have lost. Rip good buddy. At least up there nothing goes wrong with your Jeep.

 

well i am new to this forum and can't really say i knew him and i dont mean to resurrect a thread but what happened is tragic, as i'm sitting here in afghanistan reading this, i'm at loss for words. RIP brian and i pray for your family through the holidays.

 

Joined forum after his death. Just wanted to pay respect to a fellow jeeper, his family, and friends... R.I.P. Brian

 

I miss seeing you around here bud. The forum just isn't the same without you. RIP Brian.

 

OutlawStar finally got my sticker - they must have lost them at the post office it was postmarked Dec 16. Thanks for doing this man.

 

I have always wondered about the guy many of you say RIP to on your signatures. This is such a tragic and preventable way to go.....if any of you ever need a friend to talk to my PM's and phone are ALWAYS open. I have been through a great deal in my life and have overcome.....so if the stress and pressure of things get to be too much PLEASE know you have guys here to talk to. I sincerely mean this.....may God bless your soul Brian "96_XJ" Perrine.

 

I just got mine today also, it got torn through the day we lost him =\ but its on now next to my forum sticker
