There's no better explanation than this either... I miss his posts. Hope his family's doin alright. I wonder how his dad is coming with his jeep... I heard he was continuing to modify it with some of the plans that Brian had.

My mind and heart is thinking about Brian tonight. I just don't understand why such a wonderful soul like him, did what he did. What was on his heart that he wasn't able to speak about with anyone? Just once would he have, even jokingly said, " help", I would've taken him seriously and done what it takes to have taken him out of that Jeep that day. What were his last words? What was he thinking in his mind? I can hear his cry, every time I think of that moment when he decided to leave us. Why Brian?! Where ever you are, I hope and pray, you are at peace :'(

read through most of this and I'm truly saddened by Brian's death, its a shame.. Really sounds like an extremely bright young man, though I didn't know him I know and understand passion, and passion he had..

while reading through this he is found in his jeep, but that's all? Does anyone actually know how he died??

Reading through his twitter and all it just doesn't seem like someone saddened beyond repair.... dunno, but maybe something else happened, anythings possible in reality..

just sad.. regardless

I realize that but I was just curious no one ever suspected foul play?? not to create drama I'm just being real here, anything is possible pending 'how' he died.. the actual cause of death..

Sadly yes. He laughed, joked and hung out like the rest of us here. Never showed any signs of sadness or depression either. He will always be missed.

Even those of us that were staffers along side him, some closer than myself, had no idea that anything was even bothering him....so there is a lesson to be learned from this tragedy! It is to communicate.......here, to a friend, a family member, a stranger, a hot line....SOMETHING, please!! The only way people that care about you can help, is if they know something is wrong.....I just wish he would have reached out to someone before things got out of hand! He is the same age as my son....so it weighs on me heavily!

I agree wholeheartedly, reach out... This has been weighing on me since I read it yesterday, can't really get it out of my mind, and I didn't even know him... but I've had a friend kill himself at the same age but he showed signs, and in many ways was reaching out in his own way to those around him..

I talked with my wife who has studied some of this behavior and in a nut shell said, there are those who will show signs and really don't want to die and there are others who wont...

I'm deeply saddened and though its been a year have sent prayers to the family and friends for strength they will need for a lifetime....

This may interest a few guys here. Local event (Allentown,Pa) in memory of a friend who took his own life. The event is dedicated to him but its primary function is suicide awareness. All proceeds benefit families of suicide victims.

As a person who has battled depression his entire life and lost several friends because of it, this show means a lot to me.
