Ohbryant's Memorial

Headed up to Port Angeles.  I'll see some of you there, I will be doing the eulogy.  If we have not met, please introduce yourself.  I have spoken with Mindy this morning and expressed our condolences as a group and offered assistance.

Tally to this point is over $2500... I know there is still some that is coming in.  That $2500 does not include the matching amount.  You guys have done a good, an amazing thing.  Mindy thanks you, her family thanks you, and I thank you... I am proud to stand among you.

I am saddened that I will not be able to attend.
I will offer a time of quiet reflection for a great man on his favorite fishing grounds this weekend.

Rest peacefully my friend ....

Memorial went well. I will send pics when I get home. I will include the card we (kayak anglers) gave Bryan's wife. Thank you all.

Here are the pictures I promised. I included the card from us so that you all know what I said on our behalf.  I am super proud to be a part of this crew.  Many of you have won my loyalty... something I don't offer lightly.  As additional donations come in I will forward them on to Mindy.  Some have expressed the desire to help but the timing does not currently allow them to do so.  I will leave it to Allen to decide when to take down the Donate button.  Once again... thank you for what you have done for his family.

John

wow, ....just, wow...

thanks, John, for helping us reach out to the family.

Thank you, Sir. That looks like a fantastic tribute.

Brought a tear to my eye, especially when I saw the old red Xfactor that used to be mine.

Damn. That got me all choked up. Thank you for sharing Rev.

That x-factor was what he put me on when he introduced me to kayak fishing.

I bought that X-Factor right before I started NWKA in 2006.  It was probably one of the first X-Factors in the NW.  I didn't have it for long before I picked up sponsorship from Ocean Kayak.  Sold it to floatin' cowboys, who eventually sold it to Bryan.

What a beautiful celebration of a life well lived.

Ecclesiastes 7
New International Version (NIV)
Wisdom

7 A good name is better than fine perfume,
    and the day of death better than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
    than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
    the living should take this to heart.
