Ohbryant

My condolences to his family and to the NWKA community. I did not know him but from yours stories and comments I can tell he was well respected. Stay safe every one.

Thanks again to all who have donated.  I will be giving Bryan's wife the money that was donated this Friday. 

Just donated.  Thanks Rev for helping us get this to his family!

I never met anyone on this board but I read many reports and discussions from Ohbryant. He seemed like a genuine good soul. That's just too bad for his family and especially those kids which will grow up without their father. I threw in some jingle.

As a father of school age children, a donation was the least that I could offer a kindred spirit.  While it won't fill the void of a lost father/husband, it can at least help to take care of distractions from the process of grief and healing.

Good God; I just logged in and saw this. Makes me realize how fragile life is!
Bryan was a great guy and will be missed!
Makes me think that the ORC/another derby proceeds should go to his family...

I'm somewhat new to the area and to the NWKA. I didn't know Bryan but I felt connected to him as a fellow fishing/family fanatic I read everything he posted very carefully and respected his experience and skill.
I was warmly welcomed by this group and have learned tons from your collective wisdom and have gained several new friends with common interests. Just a thought, but how cool would it be if there was a memorial fishing derby that we could hold annually in his name and honor... it could provide a means to provide support to his family and give the NWKA membership the opportunity to celebrate his life on a recurring basis.

  I think this is a great idea..... maybe a tournament in his home water..P.A. Neah Bay,Hobuck ?

This has been talked about... I think it is a great idea personally.

We are currently at 2263.98... wow... you guys are a blessing to Bryan's family.

Wow... I am a little speechless... I recently just purchased a Malibu Pro Explorer from Ohbryant. He was a great person. Driving all the way into Oregon to meet me. I believe he was here with his family, but he went out of his way in order to make a great deal with me. I truly will keep my thoughts towards his family.

a number of you had talked about going to his memorial it time, work, etc made it possible.  just wondering who might actually make it.

Planning on it. Budgeting 3 hrs to get to the ferry in light of the bridge incident.  Usually takes 1.5. Hoping thats enough.

I will be attending the service.
