Noah even said today that his dad wanted everyone to carry on with lots of energy & happiness, to prosper & most importantly to be kind ❤
Bryan was such an amazing caring person. He changed so many lives about reptiles. Such a kind hearted man. His legacy will live on through his family and friends. He was so loved and will never be forgotten. 😢❤
Too bad thousands of the actual reptiles themselves had to live in rack systems their entire lives 🤔
R.I.P. Brian luv Pugsley's enclosure Kat ..
Brian will definitely be missed by millions he was a good man
He was truly a legend! R.I.P. Brian! 🕊️
brian was a legend for years rip
Brian was so amazing and he always loved supporting everyone even us small content creators he inspired to share my reptiles with everyone so I started my channel bc of him
So many beautiful tributes to Brian, but this one was very sweet
I cried again that was really sweet . I found Brian by accident too. Years ago and loved watching him . And look forward to see him every day. He will never know how much he helped me during locking .I live in the UK and being disabled I spent almost 2 year alone in my house . Brian video helped me so much ," And I promise to see you tomorrow" kept me going .I will Miss him 😢
Bryan was amazing he encouraged my best friend in her snake breeding. She has very fond memories of him. He had a wonderful way of seeing great potential in people ❤
Brian was such a great man and it has been really amazing seeing how many people Brian has inspired and mentored. I love Brian and I am really grateful to have been able to learn from him and watch him inspire and teach people how to love and appreciate animals. Brian’s legacy will live on through his family friends crew community and followers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, Kat. Well done.
Brian forever.
#BelikeBrianB I hear soo many stories about how generous and kind he was for small channels..He had nothing to gain, but for spreading joy about reptiles, and all animals in general. Special man
Oooh you got me girl!! That was a beautiful tribute.❤ I just keep replaying Steve (The Crocodile Hunter) when he said "when my children can take the football that is wildlife conservation and run it up" everytime anyone says anything about Brian. He must be so proud.
We will miss ya Brian!!
Brian is a part of my morning routine for 5 years. The man is a legend, and it is a great loss. Noah, Lori, and the crew are still doing an amazing job. Brian must be proud of the strength they display every day. #reptilearmy forever... always in our heart #Brianstrong.
Keep up the good work. Thank you for the video ❤
You made me cry. I’ve watched you for a year now and Brian for almost two. He died the day after my mom even though she passed in 2012. This video hits in the feels. Thank you for doing it. I love your content. Thank you for all you do.
I'm sorry for your loss
I got a baby abotts okeetee corn snake from him when he was downsizing as well. I couldn't afford any of the adults he was selling. I named her Queenie. She has grown a lot sincd I got her.
I never got a chance to meet Brian. I loved watching his channel and still continue to watch it. I could tell how much he loved all his animals, viewers, and everyone around him. He will be missed greatly.
Such a monumental loss 💔 Brian seemed like such a beautiful human being and will be missed by millions of people that never even had the pleasure of meeting him. Sending love to you 🖤
I just started to watch Brian after I found out he entered hospice as he had hoped his legacy would continue. So I’m glad I can now be apart of that and keep his memory and initiative alive. Sending my love to his friends and family ❤
I started watching Brian since snakebytes tv, he’s the reason I started keeping snakes 10+ years ago. A great loss for the reptile/animal community. He’ll be greatly missed & will not be forgotten. His legacy will live on 💔
Honestly seeing that he was ill and passed broke my heart. He was one of the reasons i actually found your channel and you got into the T world. He will be missed for sure.
i think Brian was a true gentleman and will be truly missed R.I.P Brian the exotic world has lost a pioneer.....your tattoo is lovely Kat
The first video I watched of Brian's was also about mental health and how he was doing and that he wanted to be authentic with the audience through the good and the bad. He was amazing!
Live like Brian. Live with intention and with love and cultivate your relationships carefully and with all you have to give. He really did care about his humans and his animals and his legacy is one of passion and love and continuous growth and knowledge. The world is a better place because he was here.
Thank you❤
Amazing video kat R.I.P brian
Brian will be missed for sure, but like you said, the family is going to make him so proud. Always in our hearts #BrianBarczyk
I'm so sorry for your loss Kat. I'm sad I hadn't known of/watched Brian's channel but it seems like he's had such an incredible impact on so many people. May Brian rest in peace.
Rest in peace Brian I enjoyed watching his videos I wasn't much of a spider or snake person until snake Discovery and then they opened me up to Brian and your content and a lot of other snake and tarantula videos
Bryan was awesome--he was so positive and upbeat and his passion was infectious;)
You are such a sweet, sweet spirit. Kat. I enjoy your videos so much. You are like, NO lady , I KNOW! You're badass that calls Wolf Spiders "cute"😅😅
But.. you're right! They have the same forward facing eyes like Jumpies do! THEY ARE CUTE! Who knew? You did! That's who!! I I'm grieving for for someone I never met but loved. (Your purple tattoo is cute. ) I've never had a reptile, but I love watching the people who do. Brian was a bright light that would never be farther than a smile, a kind word or deed away from us. Millions of lives were touched by him. 5 MILLION FOLLOWERS! And they all probably feel the same way we all do!. Every testimony I've heard now... like 15 of them. All different people say the same words. Kind, selfless, was always paying attention TO THEM! No phone calls were taken or text, email, or ANYTHING was given the priority over engaging with a fellow Homo Sapien😅. I'm sad for us left behind, but I'm very joyous for Brian. He's on his next mission. He's pain and worry free. He'll be here there and EVERYWHERE!. God has some serious plans for Brian, just like he had for Steve! I can't wait to see him on the flip- flop. ❤ Great video, Miss Kat! Thank you !❤
Thank you so much for doing a video for Brian. This is the first one I've pulled myself to watch about him since his passing. I had a lot of loss over since last March, so I've been very emotional. He was such a beautiful soul. And will be greatly missed by his loved ones and everyone he has touched and continue to touch in the reptile community. I wish he had been able to see LegaSea open. I will definitely make my way up there once it's open. I wish so bad that I had gotten to speak to him when I saw him at Tinley 2 years ago. He was running around filming, and I didn't want to interrupt him. I wear my BrianStrong shirt all the time and have stickers on my car and some of my tanks. I love that you colored your tattoo purple for him. I know that would mean so much to him. Fly high Brian Barczyk!
I’m finding out right now through you and this is so heartbreaking. I used to watch so much from him and just lost track of his channel over the years. I always looked forwards to seeing how much he loved his animals and cared for the people around him.
I got a baby Pueblan Milk snake and had him over ten years. After an on the job injury I donated him to Jungle Gardens (Sarasota) who were glad to get him for educational purposes like how animals have colors and markings to mimic venomous creatures. He would musk me every time. People were amazed to see that he was just over four feet long, might have been because I raised him in a fifty gallon tank. His name was squirt and Jungle Gardens kept his name
Playing for Bryans family. So sad. We will miss him so much. I have been watching hom fir years. He truly made a difference in this world. His name will be carried on for decades. Kat I am saving money to get a jumping spider for my little girl. Christmas was rough. Single mom and just had apinal surgery 3 months ago.
Beautiful creatures! Rip Brian
Beautiful snakes and words about Bryan
I first met Bryan when I was 16 years old. I live in Metro Detroit he worked at some pet place. Use a nice person, but definitely didn’t mess around very serious about his job which I appreciated coming from Metro Detroit all of us always want to live somewhere tropical And with reptiles just running around. But most of us never leave something about the place I guess RIP Bryan Bartik you’ll be forever remembered in this community of ours
Tarantula Kat you are also a inspiration ❤ and rip Brian barczky I hope one day I’ll have the opportunity to meet his son and wife
Gonna miss Brian alot, he was one of the very first exotic animal collectors I first started to view and follow. Not only were the species he collected GORGEOUS!! But he also taught Soo much and truly care about what he did..For me I feel like we lost another Steve Irwin..One who truly cared for what he did and what he wanted to show us all . I Hope a small part of Brain stays with us all!!
I still can't believe he's gone. The last vid of himself that he posted hit deep. I feel so bad for his friends and family this is so devastating
Pugsley/ly is a great name for your snake. Brian is so in tune. Great new home! Lucky snake.
My condolences
Beautiful snake
Thank you so much for sharing your story about Brian. It really helps to know that we’re all together in our grief over losing him ❤
RIP Brian..❤ you were and still are a legend
Love you Kat ❤ so sorry for your loss, Pugsley is a beautiful snake!
You are awesome kat it's hard but you are strong because of Brian!!!
Sending my condolences and and prayers during this hard time Kat, we love you💖
You know I never watched Brian's videos, not because I didn't like them, but just because I'd only briefly heard of him before all this went down. I'm actually really sad I never got to know his channel. And of course all my favorite content creators are very affected by his death, and that in turn makes me mourn him as well. I watched his goodbye video and I cried, even though I didn't know him.
Keep chucking on Tarantula Kat, you are one of my favorite creators.
Same here! 😢
I mean I'm nobody and he even responded to a couple of my messages in the comments of a couple videos. He was a really good guy. I didn't agree with everything he did but we all do things differently and it's okay.
BTW I just got my first tarantula today! 😅 A pink toe 💗 I heard it wasn't the best one for a first but I think we'll be okay. I don't know the gender but I named him Jelly Bean. I'm calling him a him until I know 😅
He's a little fast but it's okay. I only screamed once 😅. I tried to get him in his enclosure and he went up my arm and on my back so I had to take off my shirt to catch him 😅 I eventually got him in his enclosure and he's chilling now 😊
Totally awesome
Certainly a strange world knowing Brian has left with so many others, very hard to believe.
His loss is definitely being felt among the animal community but also his local community up here in Michigan. I am looking forward to the opening of the LegaSea and will be making visiting it a priority.
Prayers and hugs to you and everyone who was close to him!!!
R.I.P. Brian Barczyk 🙏🏼♥️🐍
Brian was such an awesome guy. He will live on, in the projects he's done and what he started. He will certainly not be forgotten.
I have tears in my eyes. 🥺I'm still grieving the loss of Brian. What an amazing guy!! Always live and love like Brian. And always, always love and respect animals and other critters!! 💜💜💜
Hey Kat! I saw you got some folks giving you hard time for posting this. Don’t worry about the haters. Some people are so miserable that they feel like they need to make other people feel the same way. I didn’t know Brian but I think he would have appreciated it! Keep up the good work!
Beautiful tribute and he will live on in everyone. I knew he was a wonderful person but to see how many content creates he helped and became friends with is just an absolute testament ❤
He also helped me get over my fear of snake I couldn't even look at a picture. With him I watched every vlog, and his excitement made me realise they are not so bad. Still haven't touched one but when I do it'll be because of Brian ❤
Love u bryan!!!! Sleep easy brother!!! Also love u Kat!!! I watch all your videos
Beautiful video kat ❤ rip Brian 💜
I’ll miss that amazing soup. All of us will carry him and his energy on ❤️🩹
Beautiful snake!
Thank You for this Vid !! 🥲🥲🥲🥲
I only know Brian through his videos. And i've been watching this video since two thousand eighteen I have never cried so hard about somebody that I have never met. I'm not into you know like stars. Are people that are popular or stuff like that like? I'm not into fanning over them. But Bryan, he was way different way different. I connected with him through his videos. He may be fall in love with reptiles. I got a leper gecko in 2018. Like a couple months after I start following him, I did all the research and Hernandez, Charlie, she's an albino leprechaco, and I still have her. I don't have any other reptiles. I wish I could I wish I could afford it. But it's just too expensive to keep up with but again. I am crying over somebody. I have never even met or talk to and only know him through his videos. It is so hard and I've been crying for days. Every time when someone brings his videos up and about him passing away. I cry it's so sad somebody so good like him lose in his life. And took a very good care of their body. And somebody like me that abused her body. Used drugs did horrible things to it and not very taking care of their Body right now And this horrible thing happens to him. And I don't understand why it always happens to the very, very good people. And we lost a really big person in the animal community. And I am just so sad I feel so bad for his family . And I really know what they're going through. Because I went through the same exact thing with my mother in 2006. Although my mother died from breast cancer that spread to her brain She still passed away from cancer. So I know exactly what the children are going through. I was their age when I lost my mother. I feel so bad for them. It is so hard to lose your parents at your young age. I wish we could have a whole bunch more time with him. It's really sorry because I really wish that I can go down to the return and visit and see all that. But I just I live in old Wayne oregand I live on the very fixed income that is only like $900 a month and there's no way I would ever be able to go afford to go down there, but maybe 1 dat. We've been disabled clucky money from the state I just don't. I can afford a lot of things and I really wish I could go down and see his beautiful Place. Maybe 1 day I will be able to afford it. Man, it's just so sad and I keep crying. I don't know why but I just keep crying about him. Maybe because it brings up a lot of memories of my mother. Or maybe because I just really admire the guy. And I know excl what his family is going through. Cancer really sucks
Well said ☺️ thank you for sharing this video, love the new setup for Pugsley!
brian will truly be missed, he touched so many of us far and wide. love lisa 🇬🇧
😔 My thoughts and prayers going out to his family. RIP❤
Sorry for your loss and the community’s loss
Not only is Brian a hero to animal lovers, he is also a hero to people who have terminal illnesses, what a brave man.
Brian was an amazing person !! I regret never having met him in person, but he touches everyone in a special way !!
I’ve learned a lot from Brian about snakes, reptiles or animals in general. It’s hard to believe he’s gone but I know he’s in a way better place surrounded by his animals that passed through the years and his family he hasn’t seen in a long time. You and Richard from tarantula collective were the first two tarantula UA-camrs I’ve ever watched and got my wife and kids to soon follow as well. We have animal Fridays for our kids when they get out of school. We watch Brians, yours and Richard’s videos all the time. My kiddos have learned a lot. We love you guys!
Kat thank you for sharing. I have been super sad since the day I heard he was going on hospice . Happy you got to meet an amazing person..I wish I got to meet him. Sending hugs to you and to everyone else
I love the video. Pugsly is amazing.
I discovered your videos by a Google algorithm. Would you believe looking up an orb sling on my zinnia led me to you? Then Dark Den. Then Animal Con. Brian. You all have filled my home with love, gummy worms and a deep appreciation for wildlife! Steve Irwin and Brian gotta be having drinks and catching gators for sure!
Brian will be missed very much...
Sweet tribute Kat.
Beautiful tribute! 🖤💜
More hides, more hides. Eric is the best.
I have been thinking about him so much these past few days. Thank you for sharing your stories with us
Thank you Kat, this was a very sweet and thoughtful video dedicated to Brian's memory. Goes to show you how many lives one person can influence. I'm sure Pugsley will love his new enclosure, too!
Only the good die young is one of the truest statements. Brian made such an impact on the world and his memory and impact will continue to grow even after he’s gone. People like Brian are too good for this world.
What a lovely tribute.
So many have been touched by Brian, amazing person.
Wish UA-cam had a hug & care button x
😢so sorry for your loss of your friend’s😭😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭
I watched Brians vlogs as often as i could and fell in love with his enthusiasm and love for reptiles. My heart goes out to his friends and family. Brian had a love for animals i hadnt seen since Steve Irwin. It was truly the kind of love and understanding that would make someone wanna learn and educate themselves about animals. I respect spiders but thanks to Brian, I now have even more respect and understanding for them. He will truly be missed.😢 😢
im in new zealand and i love your channel
I'm a new sub as of today, I was searching out BB content because I miss him and enjoyed your video
Hey Kat how are u huni I haven't watched the video yet I wanted to comment first but it means a ton to me everyone putting out these videos for Brian it truly does Bec I would not know any of the people in the community that I get to chat with even if only randomly on a live chat or so be it just in the comments it doesn't take away the entirety of the community that was opened up for me Bec of Brian I did vaguely tell you on the live but I found ur name inome of the few vids he put out when working on getting over his fear and filling his arachnid wall at the building and opening of the repterium 1 and I watched daily following along and I'm so glad I did I also had a fear of spiders and I watched as he went thru his fears one jump scare at a time hahaha and he had mentioned ur name which is where I First heard it. And as my love of these amazing Beautiful reptiles rather quickly expanded and grew to all exotic animals now including all arthropods and any creepy crawlys I see beauty in things that most see futile and it's opened my eyes to just the best ever community I'm nothing but a reptile nerd all of the other things don't matter and that is what is so beautiful in the reptile community it does not matter what who or why u do who and what u do we all come together for our love of CREATURES and it's fuckin beautiful
And you freaking rock I truly hope ur gonna be at the grand opening so I can meet u if not I will meet u at animal con Bec from what I've heard that will be on this coming year I'm praying they keep it annually Bec it's my promise to my self to make that a tradition I'm currently disabled and don't have a ton of extra cash so I don't go on Vaca often but I'm going to make that a yearly event idc if I stay in a motel up the block or sleep outside as I'm sure I'll be herping all night long anyhow hahaha I do not see my self sleeping much on the trip and I will make it a tradition in honor of Brian I never got to meet him I was going to finally meet him at the grand opening I already have my annual pass and I have my flight points to make it there so all I have to ensure is a room for the weekend Bec I'm absolutely staying for the whole grand opening weekend lol I live in New York so I won't get there regularly so I am absolutely giving as much time as possible I'm also coming alone Bec I do not want to have to worry about what anyone else wants to do I want to be free to meet peeps and do things loli can not freaking wait !! Ok sorry I should have waited to smoke until after the videos hahahaha anyhow u rock I love ur stuff I now have 7 tarantulas and counting!!! And I lost all of my fear they don't even make me flinch anymore and since I've been keeping them I've only had one jump scare and that was my larger gbb whom her strength I overly underestimated Bec when she hit and held on the amount of power she put out legit shocked me I absolutely didn't expect her to have that much strength with no gripping arms or anything ya know lol but I'm super calm with them and they pay me back the same for the most part
I didn’t know he passed away! My most sincere condolences to his family and friends and followers
Sorry you found out this way. I really suggest going to their channel and seeing Noah’s video today!
So glad you did do this video Kat! It was beautiful and real! And what a beautiful message about him and the way he touched yours and so many lives! 🫶🫶🤗
One of the first videos of Brian's I watched was him talking about his anxiety. I had skimmed over a few of his videos before, and kinda knew who he was. I have anxiety myself, and the way he just talked freely about it helped me to be more open about my own and to not feel so stigmatized by it. I also lost my Dad at a younger age and I watched my Mom lose her best friend. My heart is breaking for Lori, Noah, and Jade. Awesome enclosure too! I bet Pugsly is gonna completely love his new digs!🐍❤
I recently found Brian through your content. I was so glad that I was able to watch his videos and see how incredibly passionate he was for all species. This guy and his humbleness - it’s like you can feel it in every video he made. My thoughts are with his family and his passion projects! I’m glad that he has such a great group of people that will continue his legacy. 🕸🐍🐊🕷
I cried this whole video. cancer is a bitch I lost my uncle to colon cancer a few years back I hate it. Brian was the one that got me into this hobby when I got my first chameleon and now you getting me into tranculas and true spiders. much love Kat! We all go on in love and name for him!
Well said Rest in Peace Brian Barczyk🕊🙏
I’m glad you posted this. Brian was a phenomenal man and will always be missed. 💐
I've been watching both of you and even the others that have also posted tribute vidoes of Brian❤️ he is just like all the other exotic legends and reminded me of Steve which really made me emotional for the few days of this happening. His been such voice, educator and a gem in the community, seeing him be emotional at the last con expo was just warmth because his just such a hard working and warm hearted guy. His legacy will forever be in our hearts and lives, he got me into liking many snake species and even gators bec his just so fun and educational.
🕊️May Brian rest in harmony 🐊 you will never be forgotten
That awesome you got a snake 🐍🐍 from Brain something to remember him by for sure
Brian was a tour de force and his passing leaves a huge gap in the community 💙
Beautiful tribute, Kat!!! ❤️
