Thank you Brian Barczyk! You taught us how to love animals, people and to live a full life.

As ‪@BrianBarczyk‬ comes to the end of a tough battle with cancer, we want to show our gratitude for the human being that he is and will always be remembered as. A man that had a passion for animals in the wild and at his breeding facilities and also one who treated people with love and respect. He had a zeal for life and spent his time of this earth living instead of dying. May we all be inspired by a life properly lived to the fullest.

Brian is a great man! Good heart and huge passion for animals. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Reptile show in Orlando. I also own some snakes I purchased from him. GOD SPEED BRIAN!

[@NatureInYourFace]

Glad you were able to meet him. His body is at rest and without pain now.

[@Lexi2019AURORA]

Very well said guys. I haven’t been able to meet Brian, but I am one of the hundreds of thousands that he continues to inspire. I couldn’t agree more with your reflections on Brian’s true legacy, I think we would be able to achieve so much more in the reptile and KZbin communities if more people were willing to actually talk to each other about their problems and try to gain some understanding. That’s what I hope to achieve in my own life, and I will continue to push for that in honor of Brian. Wishing him and his family well.

[@NatureInYourFace]

It is unfortunate how nasty we can be as humans. It’s just easier to find fault in others over having to self reflect or put ourselves in the shoes of the one we deem as flawed. We all make mistakes, but only a few of us own them, learn from them and carry on trying to be better than yesterday.

[@lorraineleschinsky8616]

I agree. What drew me to him was his enthusiasm and posiitivity. Love him and his family. ❤

[@NatureInYourFace]

💯 let’s keep spreading that!!

[@donnielewis6958]

Thank you Brian

[@nscan2]

Couldn’t say it better. The best thing Brian taught me was to keep going and not quit on the hard days; when my mental health was down his videos lifted me up and this was huge. So, thank you for doing this and thank you Brian and the reptile army for making some dark days a little easier. Go with the wings of angels Brian you will be sadly missed but know that Noah and the rest of the reptile army are doing you proud every day.

[@NatureInYourFace]

Great comment. He will be missed but has set a blaze that will continue to burn on through others.

[@tammyfrancis7856]

All very well said! Brian is in hospice, and if anyone feels the need to let him know how he touched your lives, you still can. Maybe he will see your video. I was shocked to see a post with sad music, and text declaring, among other stuff, Brian’s birthdate and January 5, 2024! I didn’t comment. I couldn’t believe the nerve of some people.

[@NatureInYourFace]

We hope that the words of those that he has inspired will bring him joy and comfort.

[@showgirlsaroundtheworldada4484]

He left today

[@dvlexotics2177]

His official date of death according to his page from his staff was 1/15/2024

[@NatureInYourFace]

Correct

[@dvlexotics2177]

@@NatureInYourFace and Brian did die knowing how people felt about him and knowing Brian he probably had a smile on his face just as he did in his good ye vlog that's the kind of man he was. He knows he was lucky he knew he accomplished things that not many people could he also knew he was shoving it up his haters asses by doing all this great stuff and that's why Brian was so transparent with everything he wanted there to be no doubts in people's minds and with the exception of a few there wasn't...

[@lukemorgan8447]

I'm holding hope for Brian to hold his new grandbaby and Legasea. We love Brian

[@NatureInYourFace]

Yes! That would be amazing. ❤️

[@zenon1177]

I’ve watched his videos years ago, and to come back to those news made me really sad 😢. We love Brian ❤

[@NatureInYourFace]

🤗 ♥️ ♥️

[@CheesyCheetah]

Well said Brian is a true gem. I grew up only one in my family liking reptiles. I was stoked when I found SnakebytesTV on KZbin with Brian and Chewy back in the day.

[@NatureInYourFace]

Definitely a leader in this industry and a genuine person.

[@PatrickVandelouw-qr2jg]

Totally true guys i was like depressed and stuff didnt saw life anymore people always talking negative at reptiles and stuff its was hard but brians positive made me much much better in life

[@NatureInYourFace]

Being negative is like a virus. It takes over your thinking and the way you see the world and eventually can affect the way others see you or even their world. Thanks for the comment

[@Sepia36912]
