    I don't know what to say. He was one of the first boardmembers I traded with.

    So sad. Have fun up there Brian.

    Jesus, this is terrible. I didn't know him personally, but I did enjoy his pics of his incredible glowing collection. Damnit, so young too. This is truly sad news. No one should go so young.

    This is very sad news indeed. Though we never met in person Brian seemed like a swell guy from the many times we traded and bought toys from each other over the years.

    Wow. I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm also very bad with words in times like this, but I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope his halo and wings are GID.

    So sad to hear this. It's kind of weird to say but he had a pretty big influence on my collecting with all his cool pictures and posts, which means a lot to me.

    Man this is terrible, even though we didn't talk much he was a a great collector. The small community we have feels so much smaller now.

    Regards :(

    I'm not sure I ever corresponded with Brian - but he certainly seemed like a great guy. This is horrible and tragic news - my deepest sympathies to the family.

    I loved how vga shared his collection and knowledge with the board. His presence will definitely be missed and his memory will live on.

    Very sad indeed. VGA's enthusiasm was unrivaled. He was always more than happy to clue me in on dehara info via pm's. So sorry for the loss to his family and friends.

    Yeah WOW, that pic says it all. I didn't know Brian personally but I do remember how when I first saw that pic of him, how it epitomized the thrill of the hunt and how his enthusiasm affected us all.

    May he RIP and my very best wishes to his family and friends.

    This is so sad ...

    Like others here, he was one of my first trade partners
    and his enthusiasm was one of the things that pulled me into this hobby.
    The pic gabbagabba posted says it all really.

    I'd noticed how quiet he'd been recently,
    but I can't believe he's gone.

    He'll be very much missed ... but he'll be remembered here too!

    Terrible news...I never had any direct dialog with Brian but I can honestly say that his posts and pictures inspired me in a huge way. His dedication was obvious and his demeanor was untouchable. RIP Brian...

    I am shocked and saddend by this news.
    Thoughts go out to loved ones.
    Godbless Brian, I know the stars will be glowing a little bit brighter tonight.

    I'm truly shocked and saddened. :(

    I remember first seeing Brian's Menta-Kun tattoo pics over on the GR forums and also traded a few PMs with him about kaiju/etc and he was one of the handful of people that steered me over here.

    His passion and enthusiasm for anything GID, Dehara, Bemon etc... was infectious. I always looked forward to his posts and especially his pics and newest pickups. I was glad to see that he was posting recently.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

    RIP Brian /VGA.
