FOR BRIAN

[@justicefurawl3122]

Everytime you think of reaching out to Brian just contact Noah and let him know you’re there for him just like Brian was for you. Continue his legacy of love.

[@captainleonox3818]

that was one of the best things about Brian, he loved unrequitedly.

[@lisamaria5867]

Love this ❤❤Noah and lori need shown love from us all ❤❤❤

[@Khunai.]

I think this is a great idea

[@ladybluofficial4]

I love this comment. Noah is a wizard now. He took the torch and ran it up as hell.

[@roymundy4122]

Agreed

[@drewparcel1727]

Dav, send that dead hard drive off to one of those data recovery companies. You would be surprised what they are capable of. It’s at least worth a shot.

[@rogerparker329]

I was going to suggest the same thing, it may be expensive to do (unless someone reading this is in that industry can do it for free) but those memories are priceless.

[@grumpycricket]

That would be worth starting a go fund me.

[@livewire98801]

This right here. Old spinning hard drives are recoverable almost 100% of the time. It won't cost too much either, totally worth it for this kind of footage.

[@johnvanhezewyk6354]

It is often possible, though many of these companies charge thousands for that service.

[@livewire98801]

@@johnvanhezewyk6354 Not generally for the kind of drive he's describing. But even if it does cost that much, it might be worth it to Dav.

[@lillykitty3666]

The spirit of Brian's legacy lives on in you and all those who he mentored.

[@heliumhubcryptocollective9337]

one thing that has really stuck to me from Brians diagnoses to his passing....the reptile army/community, the fans, the creators, the herpers..all are some of the most kind, and caring community. Brians legacy isnt the building he left behind...its all of us. be inspired, be kind stay blessed

[@tonyatippetts2316]

I used to work for a major four letter computer maker from Texas, and I have seen a drive saver data recovery company recover some really badly damaged and (old) data for a reasonable price. I feel stupid telling people this but you would be surprised how many times people forget.

[@brianpartlow5530]

Life long reptile lover here. Losing Brian is painful to the world wide reptile community. Don't abandon the Barczyk family. Brian's dreams are their dreams too! Once the fog clears I hope the you tube reptile community reaches out and does some collab videos with Noah and the crew.

[@douglasbeauchamp9161]

Well said Dav! After my divorce I was lacking direction went back to school got my B.S. and got back into herpetology and then found his channel. I then knew the direction to head back to my love of snakes. I believe he garnered way to much hate in this industry some from misunderstandings but a lot from pure jealousy. When I heard of his diagnoses I knew what the end result was going to be but deep in my heart I also believed if anybody had a chance at beating it Brian would be the one. He said himself when my pain ends every one else's begins boy hit the nail on the head!!!! RIP BB

[@KaijuLover85]

Dav i’m 100% positive Brian is super proud of you! and i’m sure hes looking down from heaven and watching over his family, you and his fans. RIP Brian 😢

[@LauraPottsGibbons]

This helps so much❤. Thank you

Hello sir you are one of my favorite u tubers am glad you and Brian were friends he was a awesome guy❤ am sorry to say I never met Brian and iam also sorry for your losse of your friend am also sorry I don't know what rattle on means

[@davidneal9368]

That's why you should always make your peace before the sun goes down. Forgiveness is the key 🗝️

[@MisplacedPixie]

Brian took so much with him when he crossed over, his wisdom, his laugh, his desire to educate, his bright personality, so much more but Brian left so much for us, his wisdom, his laugh, his desire to educate, his bright personality and SO MUCH MORE. Brian was bigger than life and we loved him. We love you too Dav and we, as YOUR audience, send you many, many hugs.

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

The fact that we have this supremely massive body of work always accessible to ourselves and future generations, I find that very comforting during this time. It's a legacy the likes of which I have very rarely seen.

[@SuperGiantGeckosLLC]

If you listen close to Noah, you can literally hear Brian there.

[@AbbyESeaney2589]

Take that trip, not just for him but for yourself too. Because he will be there with you when you do.

[@beckygallant186]

I miss your good morning text and chatting with you. Love and miss you always my friend. #BrianStrong always and forever ❤️

[@davidneal9368]

I agree. Brian touched so many people even if they don't own a reptile 🦎 People have been inspired by keeping owning reptiles or wouldn't have had it not been for him. Thought about making another movie. Hurpies. The Revenge?

[@justinl4177]

Brian would’ve loved that the message of this video is friendship, education, forgiveness, and growth. I’m sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful and kind man.

[@tristanduke2662]

I am one of the many lives he saved 4 years ago with his anxiety video. I dreamed of growing up and working at senora desert museum. But life happened. I'm nearly 50 now and 1 thing Brian taught me was to never give up. I still watch and study every day and I still have hope that some day I will have my own little collection. You are a gift to us too. Some of us rattle on just to see the adventures you share and bask in your passion and love. Thank you ❤ And I promise to continue to take every opportunity to teach love and respect for our no legged friends.

[@123Zara]

The Senorian Desert is vast with so many species that I believe haven't been recorded yet. I once visited a place called Slab City in the Senorian Desert, and it's an interesting place, the desert iguanas that are white! Also, there are many sub species in that neck of the woods that are white also, I'm suspecting because temperatures reach highs of up to 130 degrees on these days, and those desert iguanas do not hide from that intense heat, they're running around in it! The temperature gradient is crazy, because in the winter it can be down into the high 50s and low 60s (for a short time) and up to 130 degrees in the summer, so the white adaptation that a lot of reptiles in that area have is really interesting. There is also a type of gecko out there, and toads. They have a white Gardner Snake out there, scorpions, vinegaroons, Desert Recluse Spiders, as well as a white snake I cannot identify that had sort of a leaf shaped head and nose, and the rattle snakes! They aren't any special color, but that place is chucked with western diamond back and sidewinders both of which I rescued on a regular basis. The vast array of wildlife there was astounding , and you would never see it all unless you stay there for about 9 months, it took that long for me to encounter all of that. Anyhow, you take care, I hope your dreams and wishes come true!

[@tristanduke2662]

@@123Zara I grew up herping in central arizona. My favorite catch was the collared (ring neck) lizard. I was about 10 when I finally caught one. They are fast and will run on their back legs. Now they are sold as pets. There are so many types of eco systems besides desert there. I think some one could spend a lifetime there and not see them all. My bucket list critter is the Gila monster of course. The museum didn't even have one when i was a kid. Slab city is on my to do list, I'm also a rock hounder so I'm sure I'll see lots of scorpions too. Thank you for the kind words and insight. I had no clue about the iguanas. Always and forever something to learn. The meaning of life 🙂

[@shelecejensen923]

What a big loss! R.I.P. Our family has 2 corn snakes and a giant getgo because of Brain and his wonderful wife. May God keep you and your family close 😢

[@diannenaworensky6698]

So sorry for the loss of your friend

[@msx701]

Brian was great, I don’t even like snakes but watched Brian for his positive attitude and excitement, RIP

[@L3adb3lly]

One of the things I didn't realize until all of this happened is that Brian knew every reptile/exotic animal content creator, big and small. He was very passionate about sharing his passion for animals, and helping other people share their passion for animals. He's a true legend, it's just a shame that such an amazing life journey was cut so short.

[@jesusforever4729]

I totally agree with you. Now please edit your comment and correct "Brain", to "Brian". 👍♥️

A lovely tribute. And that lesson about putting aside differences is so important. Life is short. For all of us. We should cherish the friendships we have and work to overcome the problems that arise in them. None of us get back the time we lose to silly disagreements. So glad that you and Brian were able to mend fences. Condolences to you, Dāv, and the many others who knew and loved Brian.
