RIP Brian. I never met him nor talked to him but as a person who shares a passion of building something into our own it is a sad day to lose someone like that. May he rest in peace and his dream live on through all the people on this forum to continue to do the things that make us happy and get us away from our daily routines.

 

Never knew him but could always appreciate him as a person...looking at his build thread and his energy and excitement made me start to appreciate the little things especially when it comes to jeeps he was always there with a great response was a great mod on the forum and i am definitely in for a sticker or contribution to the family...i unfortunately have never been able to upload an avatar i always get upload failed but anyways RIP Brian....

 

I messages someone that seems to be pretty close to him asking for a contact so we can do donations to help pay for funeral costs... His age and all im sure insurance isnt in the picture.. Whethed it be in stickers or.not... However they will need it fast as possible as half has to be up front... I dont think stickers will be fast paced and may get things messed up... Ill return with more info when i get it guys...

 

Talked to a close contact of the family and she says its still under investigation... Says they think it may have been a accident or suicide but they havent ruled out anything yet... Shes a best friend of a sibling and even she cant get in contact with the family so nobodies talking yet... All is speculation...

 

such a shame. R.i.p dude, thanks for all the help and inspiration, hope the trails up there are mean enough for you.

 

I wish that he would post up here saying it was a big misunderstanding or something... I can't believe he is gone...

 

Horrible news. Decal with his bike avatar and 96_xj need to be made. CF lost a good guy.

 

At a complete lose on this..

I spent many hours chatting with him..

You will be missed Brain..

 

Thats what I was thinking about the decal. And yes CF has lost a genuinely good person.

 

Wow.. Sorry to hear this guys..

 

My Prayers are being sent to the family. Ive just gone through a loss myself and have the guys from naxja, itsajeep and tnvjc doing something special for me and i would like to do what i can for his family. i seen donations are being taking for this and i would like to help.i feel honored for being helped by the groups and would feel more honored to be able to help here. how to i send to this fund being raised for Brian? someone pm me please and give me details.

 

Im sorry for your loss as well, i hope your girl is doing ok, and they have yet to announce how we can donate, hopefully itll be up soon.

 

I like that idea for a decal.

If a no go on a decal, what about an auction? Maybe some of the vendors/members could donate items and the monies raised could be sent to his family?

 

Im all for somebody close to the family to set up a paypal account for donations. 10-20 bucks per person adds up quick!

 

When I heard this that's the first thing that came to mind. That avatar we are all so used to seeing of the guy and bike. Would make a great decal with r.I.p and his 96_xj under it.
