RIP Brian, passed in his sleep. Another legend gone too early.

Never really know when you're time is up. RIP Brian.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

WHAT ?!? I just saw him at Hoosier. He was racing about like a man half his age, running from the stand to the pits, trying setups on his Yokomo. RIP, Champ.

Yeah he was a big part of the legends race coming up. Just crazy to think how quickly things can change

Such a shame - In the photo he appears to be in his 30’s. Anyone know his age?

I think I read 47. He was super fit though and still had that fancy hair from his teenage years, so yeah, he could pass for 30s.

47 seems about right. I am 55. I was in my early-mid 20s back when he destroyed us all on a weekly basis at the track in KY. He was still in high school at that time.

So sad. Everyone saying how fit he was. It could have been sleep apnea. I have a friend who died from that and he was in good health with no weight problems. RIP Brian.
