      I have been a fan of Brian's fir a long time. I went to the reptarium in 2021. He made it worth the 17 hour drive. He made sure that every person felt like he really cared about what you wanted to say and that you were special. I've never met anyone like him. The world lost one of the good ones fir sure. Praying for his friends and family 💚

      I never met him but I felt such joy watching his videos ever since the beginning he has never let anything get him down right until the end. I was planning on coming over from England to meet him so sad I will never get to shake his hand and say thank you for being the light in so many dark places in people lives such a kind soul. Rest in peace legend

    There have been so many beautiful tributes to Brian. Each 1 is just so special to us. I do have to ask that anyone who hasn't seen the tribute that Gatorland did, please go and watch it. All of these tributes are equally wonderful. Brian touched many, many lives and he will be missed forever.

    I love how everyone is sharing their personal experiences with Brian, he was such a genuine person and positive as all heck. Much love to you all who had more time with him and are trying to cope with his loss. He's with us all just in another form but he's proud of you all.

    Everyday I prayed for a miracle. For the sake of brian and lori and their entire family and all the work family. I kept hoping for the kind of miracle that the whole world would see and turn to Jesus. I can't express in words how grateful I was to hear. Brian say he knew Jesus and he was saved. It's hard to see someone go in what I would consider the prime of their life. But it makes it easier knowing where he's going. And I look forward to seeing him again someday

    • @Mimi2thebestboysever

    I have known and have followed Bryan and you guys since about the first of April 2017... Bryan was such a good and positive man... and even it's been some dayssince he has past away, I still can't stop crying because I miss him... he was with me every day... he and his family became a part of my family, although he didn't knew who I was. And yet... he made such an impact on me that I cried when he got sick and I cried when he passed away... in all my 60 years on this earth, I never had someone that moved me so much as Bryan. Never been a fan of someone, never was a groupie, or even followed someone as close as I did Bryan... he made some very bad days where I was in so much better... the moment he said his farewells I knew it wouldn't take very long that we would hear the bad news... because he was so tired en had so much pain...
    Thank you bryan... and you for being such a help with the legasea... ❤❤❤

    Guys, i loved seeing this. There is so many people "cashing in" but I know the interaction you guys have had. As a proud Aussie, I love Steve Irwin, and know he was a hero of Brian's. Likewise there are so many people for which Brian is their hero (me included). Brian can stand tall as the same type of inspiration to Animal education and conservation as Steve. An equal in every sense, just used a different medium to promote it. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Thanks again guys!

    Ive been watching Brian since back in the days of chewy and the gang,watched him grow his passion for animals to what it’s become today. It’s true what people say about how he was the same off camera as he was on…just a jolly guy in love with animals and excited to educate people and ease their fear of reptiles especially snakes! My heart goes out to his family I lost my mum to pancreatic cancer 2 years ago. 💔 I’m looking forward to visiting the legacy when it’s up and running.
