reading project black sky over 2yrs ago almost now it was one of the first builds id read. i was just getting into jeeps at that point and couldnt believe how much this guy at being the same age i was almost. it still hasnt settled in even to the point of i never met brian but that he was very helpful even when i asked what a lca was. thanks buddy. miss ya.

Can't believe it's been almost a year - I remember that day like it was yesterday...

Miss ya buddy!

As of Saturday. The Jeep family lost a great guy that day. R.I.P. my friend.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about my friend, I miss his random goofy text messages and his youthful insight. I constantly ask myself "why did you not confide your pain in me or anyone else for that matter" You were like a son to me Brian, and I'm glad I came to know you.

I remember reading his build thread over and over... then one day at work I read this thread.. I hate that we lost such a good guy. He will always be missed.

Went through some old pics i had,This is how he will be remembered, as someone always willing to help out and always laughing or having a good time.

I didn't know Brian, nor did I ever speak to him. However, I don't think there's been a time when I was searching for info that he didn't pop up in a CF thread I was browsing through. Every time I run across one of his posts, it honestly saddens me. He seemed like such a great guy with so much to give. It'd be nice if more of us on this forum had a fraction of the class he had. I've never read a nasty word from him and he was always willing to help others out. The world is a lesser place without him.

Still there.

as is mine - back door window

Going wheeling this Sunday in memory of Brian.

This was taken on what may have been his last wheeling trip in New Mexico in July 2011. So glad I had the chance to meet him out there and wheel with him.

All I gotta say is, DAMNED GOOD JOB to whoever posted/made the banner. Really wish I coulda met you buddy. Think about you every morning I start the jeep and look at your Memorial sticker.

There are no words, so sad.

Can't believe it's been a year since we lost such an awesome influence in the community of CF. I really wish you could still be here today to see how far we've come. I really hope your family can stay strong and remember all the awesome things about you and the life that you lead. We came together from totally opposite sides of the country but I felt I knew since I was young. My time spent here has not been the same since you left. Hoping you are at peace now with the demons that laid on your doorstep. You are still truly missed and will continue to live on here always.

I saw the banner when I logged on today and it hit me hard again. I still have things I wanted to talk to him about that I never got to mention.
does anyone know if there are any memorial decals left? I wanted one but never got one.

Same for me, I'd like a memorial sticker just to show my appreciation for such a great guy. Never met him, never even joined the forum before his passing, but I see what kind of impact he had on the community. We should all look at him as a role model, and help anyone in any way possible. He will definitely be missed for a very long time.
