So sorry for his family's loss! Alan I'll be praying for you and his family.

Fair seas, tight lines and screaming drags Bryan! You'll be missed. Take comfort in knowing you touched a lot of people lives!

So sorry to hear.  Condolences to his family and his online brothers as well. 

  I was lucky enough to meet Bryan in person and share some time talking fish, fishing, reels, and AT.com.
I will certainly miss his positive, never give in attitude not to mention his many contributions to this site.  Bryan, you have found peace and for that I am thankful... until we meet again, pal.
My condolences to Bryan's family and friends, Alan T, and all of you guys/gals on AT.
Calm seas and fair skies,
Dom

Rest in Peace Bryan. Such a sad loss. What a wonderful person who was so easy to talk to. My thoughts go out to his family and all the friends feeling his absence today and the days ahead.

Difficult--what to say?  He gave 'er all he had, and that's all anyone can hope to do.

Though I never met Bryan he had text and phone conversations.

When he was in Sacramento seeking alternate treatments it was during the week and I was at work. He reached out to do lunch, sure wish I took time off to see him.

Till we finally meet on the other side.

God Bless,

Steve

Never met him, spoke to him, or even exchanged any gear... but this has still hit me hard. I guess seeing somebody's forum inter-activity for years makes you somehow acquire affinity for the person, especially when they are so well regarded by the members. Damn cancer. Prayers.

I'd like to say Bryan is hanging out over the bar waiting with us with a list of others; but that list is getting long and I really don't have it in me to think about it right now.

Bryan was the first of the Ohana that I met on Oahu over 10 years ago. We have swapped gear and shared some great times. His family is wonderful.

None of this seems adequate.

My deepest condolences to his family and to you Alan, also Ohana members who knew him well!

Tony, thanks for posting this.

    When Alan invited me out in 2016, Bryan drove Alan and I (to be more authentic, DD'd) to Dommie's for dinner with the crew. Super guy, and I was just thinking about him a little but ago. My heart goes out to the family, and I pray he now has no pain and tight lines with Sal and Keith, among others. RIP, my friend.
