Here’s one of his builds, or improvements.

Never met him in the flesh, but seemed like a great contributor here. Always positive.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Yes it was like a kick in the gut to read that on FB. Heres a guy I've never met, but felt he was really a friend of mine. Shared some very similar views and opinions. He was multi-talented. Would have loved to have met him. Godspeed. My sincere condolences to the family.

Sounds like the kind of guy that left many great memories here, and more importantly with his family, that will see everyone through the tough times.

I never met Brian but we conversed regularly on FB. He followed the adventure of my ride to Oregon and back and offered words of encouragement almost daily. The little I knew about him painted a portrait of a very interesting man. He was constantly sharing his woodworking and crafting adventures. His love of his Family, the Sea and his Heritage were evident in his postings. He will be missed.

Just posted on FB
We will be spreading Brian's ashes out at sea on the 18th of August, right now we know it will be an evening event for the sunset, and we will have a boat chartered for those who wish to go out. We will also have a place for those who don't, most likely the yacht club right now. This is to get how many people to expect, so we can plan accordingly. check for updates and specifics.

Thank you all for your words, wishes, and support. the family greatly appreciates everything. I have set up a private event for Brian's last outing, so that we can get a feeling for the number of people showing up. I have sent out a round if invites, but there are alot of names. If you have not yet received an invite, please message this account or Kyle Bruce Crow so that we can invite you if you want to come to the event.

Very saddened to hear of this tragic event.
I never met him but I enjoyed. His participation here.
It appears he had a life well lived and will be missed and mourned by many.
RIP Mr Crow.
