[@MAdams790]

It was insane to watch his farewell today after watching his channel grow and watching his own personal growth on his channel. And you’re absolutely right, his legacy began ages ago. Great work as always on the video. A great message to Brian and to everyone watching. He will be missed so very much.

[@thecreativeprocess-pureima3389]

An honour to see a quite man reach out and express his love and feeling for someone he truly respects.

[@kekkelpenneypeckeltoot5700]

Well said, thank you for making the time to do this.

[@April-lp7pp]

It is so touching to see the reptile community influencers come forward to show their love and respect to Brian. I'm moved to tears.

[@nscan2]

Brian is like America’s Steve Irwin. He has impacted so many people in ways he will never know which will be part of his life’s legacy to us all. For me he was the channel I turned to first when my depression was low and it helped lift me up. Brian you will be missed in so many ways. My heart goes out to you, your family, the reptile army, your friends and the millions of followers around the world. You are so loved and will be so missed but know that your legacy will be there in the hearts and minds you touched and in the reptile army as they continue in your footsteps. Your army of followers will still be here to remember you and watch the progress of the things you built. Go softly on angels wings ❤

[@tetra3ne56scur3]

@IntrepidExotics I subscribed Brian is awesome and his legacy won’t stop here

[@IntrepidExotics]

Welcome aboard! He is and we are going to do what we can to keep spreading his love for the animals here as long as I keep drawing breath.

[@bigsheilaandthebeefyboys5394]

unfortunately right now watching a 10 minute video on youtube probably isnt going to be on his list of priorities. like brian said though, as long as we speak his name he will truly never die.

[@bearyhot]

You are so right. The impact that Brian has had on this community and beyond has been massive, and I hope that he has felt the love that we have put out into the ethernet for him. Your words are touching, honest, and forthright. I appreciate you for taking the time to make this video. 💜

[@Coldnfallen]

We love Brian now and forever. I lost my hair with him and we shaved together. We will always be #BrianStrong through our community. Peace to all, and love. Always love.

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

It's so very heart breaking he did so much for our community and tought everyone around the world about animals and how to care for them. I started my channel last year bc of his words of encouragement. Just glad he won't be suffering no more .

[@Ron-snakesinthegarage]

This is a tough one.😔 I remember how upset I used to get when I started watching his vids years ago. I always thought he was just show boating for the clicks. Over the years, I realized that I misjudged him, and that he was just a naturally good, caring, and positive person. And that he genuinely cared about the animals and the hobby as a whole. He was, and will continue to be an inspiration for all of us. You did a great job expressing your feelings Tim. I know his family will appreciate your heartfelt well wishes. R.I.P. Brian. You were one of the good ones. Thanks for the memories.🙏

[@tbella5186]

Remember, be kind to someone. My youngest son and I are heartbroken. He gave and gave, and continues to give.

We Love Brian So Much Been watching a long time and this broke me so hard even thou i have never meet him still love him to pieces thanks so much for this video everyone going to miss him

[@nicolegoodew1547]

Wonderful video Tim, was almost as emotional watching this as I was watching Brian's video this morning. I wasn't expecting this kind of update from him so soon. Maybe another month or so, not days. I wish him peace and his family healing. I never got to say goodbye to my grandmother and its been eating away at me here and there for years because days before she passed I had missed a message from her. I responded that day, but she never responded back. What if I messaged her again or sooner? I eventually started believing that when we pass we have an understanding of the people in our lives. That she is at peace and knows my childhood and current struggles and is here for me, giving me the support I need to keep making the next right steps to reach my goals. Take care Tim and everyone else who reads my comment. Love yourself. Love every day because it is such a wonderful gift to be around such amazing people❤

[@angelaferraro90]

It’s so heartbreaking to be suddenly loosing such a huge part of the reptile community and our lives. I learned a TON from Brian when I first started getting into snakes and breeding… every day opening up KZbin and going straight to his channel. I loved how transparent he was about everything. I cried watching that video today. We all tried to stay positive for him… cancer SUCKS It is very eye opening… it can happen to anyone.

[@karenc.9505]

I met brian back in 2013 as a kid, he's the one who get me interested in reptiles.

[@KevinSmith-tu1tt]

Nice Tribute to Brian - you hit a lot of good points. I am one of those people that is not comfortable around snakes / reptiles....you're right...his dedication and passion to the animals just pulled you in. His videos were always interesting, entertaining, and educational. He made an impact in this world and is inspirational to so many people...what more could you ask for? I hope he and his family can find some peace.

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

I don’t even own a reptile, but Brian made me appreciate what you all do as a profession. Brian was so positive. I watched his channel because he was such a kewl guy. His passion was outdone by no one. I always say if you can really, really, really make a difference in one persons life, you left your footprint. Brian had an impact on thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people. After watching his last few videos, I knew his time on earth was short. To wake up to the video, my heart sank and I’ve had a knot in my stomach all day. My condolences to his “rock” Laurie and his family and friends. 8:30

[@lisaramsey]

Lori is so strong. I've cried and just hurt so bad that he's not going to b here everyday n for the open of his aquarium. I just can't stop hurting for them all.

I wasn't expecting to wake up to here him saying goodbye. I'll always remember and think of him. He is such a wonderful and strong man and I'll miss him forever. I was finally going to see him and to thank him in person in March I was gonna travel from New Jersey to Michigan but unfortunately I won't be going to be able to do that.

Other than on tv, ive never gotten to see somene make a goodbye video while they are still healthy and happy. It broke my heart. What an impact he has had in this world. I dont have a reptile in my life but i love watching your videos and all of the other reptile channels. I wish I did have one. I just started watching Brian's channel a short time ago. what an amazing man!! he has such a childlike joy when he is with his people and his animals. He said we dont really go away if people stop talkiing about you......something like that.. it was a beautiful saying. He is going to have many people talking about. GREAT VIDEO TIM!!❤❤

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

It’s definitely been a rough time and Brian will be missed but he has left vibrations that will live on forever and steer people in a better direction.

My heart breaks 💔 his family and extended family/crew. I'm sorry for your loss... I'm so sad this one really hurts! I've been crying all day watching these videos. I have been watching home for so long. It's my daily routine to watch him he is part of my son's morning. He is like family. It's gonna be so weird not seeing his posts every morning......R.I.P

[@Combat18.]

The real message should be that you live every moment like it’s your last, and don’t wait to say what you feel say it now, because if you don’t then you don’t really mean it. Brian was always upfront and never hide his feelings. Brian is like now one I can think of. He is a wonderful man that showed how to behave as a man.

Everyone's message is different, there's many paths to walk as a man.

[@Jessica-bp6pt]

I don't care if he had like certain bad aspects that he was known for because I have heard like he was in situations where he didn't treat some of the animals. The best way the thing of the matter is nobody deserves this kind of death. And it's sad because the reptile community is very douchebaggish. When it comes to judging people easily . I think it definitely shows that we should respect one another. And there's more than one way to take care of certain reptiles.

I feel like I missed out and now you are gone. I am torn as I click on subscribe knowing you said goodbye, but I am proud to subscribe to honor you and your legacy.

Tim, it was so hard to watch the video, especially as it took us through each stage of his illness. So sad and devastating, but man, even in the end, he still makes you feel joy and hope. He definitely left an impression on me when I was a younger man afraid of snakes. As I watched him, it slowly took that fear away.. it got me to the point where I even keep venomous snakes because I realize while they must be respected, they don’t need to be feared. It’s so hard to know I’m not going to wake up in the morning, hop onto KZbin and hear “good morning, beautiful people” from Brian anymore. Crazy, isn’t it, how someone you’ve met once at an Expo for a couple minutes and have watched for years but barely know can have such an impact on your life? The reality is, the reaper comes for us all in the end, but Brian is being taken from this world too soon… But I know he’s ready for peace. Thanks Tim. It’s up to us to make sure future generations know Brian and what he did for these animals, as well as us.

[@lukemorgan8447]

You said it correctly when you talked about being able to say things before their time to go. That is an appreciation and opportunity you don't always get to do. It was hard to hold my emotions watching Brian's vlog today but I was happy to leave him a comment dear to my heart.
