- Brian Barczyk has been an absolute pillar in the reptile community pretty much since its mainstream conception. This video highlights my thoughts and love for Brian. Praying for you and your family and will never forget you brother. Enjoy these moments with your family, Brian, and know that we will never forget you.
51 years old, never met Brian... cried like a baby watching his video today.
Oh man. Seriously the best dude. I was bawling
Thank you for saying his name. That's what he wants from us. Let's all keep on saying it. We are all better people for knowing him. Awesome family man, legend and a hero. Nothing but, LOVE❤❤❤
I absolutely agree. We ALL have become better by knowing him. This is TRUTH!
I’ve watched Brian for ten years now . Back in the day with Chewy.
Remember when he started AnimalBytestv, with Camp Kenan, Shannon wild , Crittacam.
I stopped watching for a few years but got in , casually a few years ago again.
Man . I’m not kidding .
There are 3 men I look up to .
My dad , my grandpa and Brian Barczyk.
My dad passed almost year ago now, and my grandpa will be soon. We are surprised he made it to 2024 .
Now Brian.
It’s a hard time for the entire community .
Love to Brian and his family , and all of his friends . Whether he ever met us , or not .
That’s so awesome. He is so amazing. We will be praying for him and his family
Same i balled like a baby when I watched his video this morning. Him and Steve Irwin are the reason why I started keeping exotics. I'm really going to miss him🙏🏾
Bro I welled up with tears and was like. I’m not gonna be having tears running down my face. And a minute later the tears were flowing. Such a hard pill to swallow for sure. I idolized Steve Irwin as a kid too. Love these two dudes! Will be amazing they can meet at last 🙌
@@State48TurtleTortoise same here ... devasting me and my younger brother couldnt believe it.He is an inspirational man and will be missed
TH-cam will never ever be the same without BRIAN he is so so loved,and his knowledge about animals and reptiles is second to none it is so so sad and heartbreaking ,just one fantastic and kind person !!!!!!!!!HAYDEN SO MUCH RESPECT XXXX💖💕💓💔💔😪
It will never be the same. Brian was the light to my morning routine on TH-cam. Days already felt off when I didn’t have him to accompany me on my drive around for work.
Thank you Anne for your kind words
Been crying all day. Thanks for the tribute. He’s an amazing person and will be missed terribly💔
He will be missed for sure. Praying for his family!
He will be in a better place and pain free
This is very very true. He has been an absolute warrior this year and been going through the worstb
Its hard to believe in only 3 months it will be a year already since Brian passed. Its definitely a different world without him in it. Lori his wife is working so hard trying to fulfill his legacy on the aquarium. Sadly his son walked away b4 Brians vision was brought to life. The crew has really pulled together for Lori though and their dedication has really come shining through. I am so excited to see the progress really moving along now. The 3rd Animal Con is this weekend and I am in awe how everyone is pulling together still in remembrance of Brian 😊
Honestly so crazy. I’m here at Animalcon and there is definitely a void. Going to get teary this weekend a couple times I’m sure. Sure miss him
My heart breaks for Brians family and friends. He will be missed.
I totally agree! Sending them prayers
My eyes are still swollen from Crying from last night. Brian is such a legend. He saved me from boredom during pandemic. The lockdown feels nothing because of Brian's vlogs. His energy and happy vibes is superb. His one of my hero. I'm a new subscriber here and I want to thank you for your support and advocacy. I'll support you too!
Literally the kindest person ever. Always good vibes even in his darkest times !
I appreciate your support so much! Brian will always be remember now and after his earthly time
@State48TurtleTortoise Ironic that you breed animals that will outlive every person you sell to without the thought of how they'll survive. Brian and Kevin also made a whole industry around animal abuse.
I have never heard anyone talk bad about Brian, I guess I missed that about his life.
Most people have amazing things to say about him but there is small group who didn’t have nice things to say sadly.
HI STATE 48 TURTLE AND TORTOSE MY HEART BROKE DOWN FOR BRIAN AND IM SAD TOO LOVE DAVID😀🥰😀🥰🥰🥰
Thanks David for the comment. Sending prayers to Brian and his family!
Thank You for Your Video Our Family have been Reading all the Prayers and Thoughts for Brian 🙏 Thank You for Your Prayers. My Nephew Will Always Be Grateful for Everyone. God Bless You All 🙏🙏🙏🙏
There is so much out there to watch right now. Lots of amazing stories showing how amazing Brian is. Thank you for watching
❤same❤ I have 2 snakes 🐍 a Salcata Tortoise 🐢 brian b❤
I am really going to miss him !!
Me too. It hit me so hard today with his video he posted.
Brian’s vlog broke me, it was so hard to watch, i couldn’t believe how hard the cancer had hit him, but with the last few vlogs he had posted I could sense there wasn’t a lot of time left, and Brian knew that fact.
Even going back just under a year ago when his prognosis was about a year I knew Brian was in for a fight. It just sucks so hard that it’s ended so quickly and took him out so fast.
But his legacy will live on, and he’s such an animal enthusiast it’s hard to not get excited about animals, while I’m not into the reptile business I love the animals Brian has and his passion for them is second to none, I don’t know anyone else who vlogs like he does and his energy and passion just jumps through the screen.
Really incredible guy, and I know with Legasea Brian will inhabit that place in spirit, he’ll be in every stone, brick, tank, and piece of coral watching people be inspired and excited, it’s what he wanted.
I know I see his videos for a year ago and think, that guy, had EVERYTHING going for him and was on such an upward trajectory. He has impacted me and will continue to do so. Still praying for him and his family!
@@State48TurtleTortoise- Especially to not see the Legasea finished I think is just so cruel since it was such a massive project and one of the most sophisticated aquariums in the US ever built. Cancer is just evil, it ripped everything away from Brian in such a short amount of time.
It’s kind of an eerie coincidence that he idolized Walt Disney which is interesting considering Walt himself passed away abruptly even before the first Disney park was even finished in Florida and he never got to see its completion, it was finished without him. So I couldn’t help but notice the parallel. Still eerie though.
I agree with you! Also I will say that just because someone has haters, persecutors it does not mean that they did anything wrong. Jesus was born with enemies. He had haters, mockers and even traitors. Brian is a good man!
That is such a beautiful point! Jesus was born with haters and he was perfect. Amen!! I love that. Thanks for your support
Outstanding Brian will never be forgotten!!
Never ever!!!
Thank u
Thank you!!!
RIP brian
Still here with us. However only a very very short time more. 💔💔
It’s such a crappy situation. I know Brian will always live on!!! Can’t wait till July to stay at the fish house and visit the both zoos. Plus, partake in his cannibas journey.
It’s the word. I hope you enjoy your time there! I’ll be at the grand opening for sue!
hes in hospice so sad we all love him so much
Agreed 💔
i don't trully watch anyone elses but brian but i am here to say is that im gonna miss him alot
Totally agreee. It hit me so hard how much I’m gonna miss him
@@State48TurtleTortoise samr
@@State48TurtleTortoise he was the one of the people out there who cure my phobia of reptiles and tarantulas
I'm still scared of snakes though
We must keep Brian's legacy to live on
He will always be remembered. And I know his legacy and “legasea” will be around forever.
just woke up and i was crying the moment i saw his vid. :(( he and kenan are the reasons i started caring for a baby sulcata.....hope brian's values and principles transcend reptile keeping
Same kenan and Brian inspired me much
I totally agree. Brian will not be forgotten!
How can anyone hate on Brian he's one of the most nicest people ever like a father figure to everyone he didn't care who you were I might deer hunt and hunt cayotes and stuff but I really do love animals it sucks that we're losing Brian cancer is such a pain in the butt I wish you and his crew and his family and close friends the best I've not been a follower for long why did cancer have to be such a pain my prayers are with y'all
I completely agree. Such an amazing man!
It sucks we are losing him, but I’m sure with Joe severe his pain is, as he said in his video, he soon will have no pain 💔
@@State48TurtleTortoise I remember the one video from a long time ago when I first saw his TH-cam and it was the alligator bridge video
Thank you for sharing your memories and story.
Thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you for sharing such a heart touching video. ❤️ 🙏💪
Thank you for taking the time to watch it 🙏
The news today has broken my heart, he got me into reptiles in 2012. I now do spiders but he inspired me so much, I even made my own TH-cam just recently. He was a real one just like Erwin and his legacy will go on! ❤
That’s awesome. What’s your TH-cam.. I’ll go follow!
@@State48TurtleTortoise you don’t have to but that’s super kind of you. 🖤
These are so tough to watch! Wrong people go way too soon! I was blessed to be able to meet and speak with him! It was a joy seeing him and the fam at animalcon!!! Just not fair!
Totally agree. I guess they are needed on the other side 🙏
It’s very unfortunate, cancer is no joke. I used to watch his videos all the time before getting my ball python. I had no idea this was going on cuz I’ve been busy with school and such. I hope you and Brian are both well.❤
Definitely very sad. Glad to see you saw the video! Hope you are well man, text me some time!
I first watched him I think in my freshman year in high school (just before he started vlogging daily) so about 7 years ago, after a friend recommended him to me, and he was the most upbeat, positive person I've ever seen, I watched him go through a lot of heartbreaking losses and the way he came back from that was just admirable. He inspired me and you and so many others to be positive and follow our dreams. I still remember Chewy and Satan and Sunrise and Artemis, and the opening of The Reptarium and it's really really sad that he won't be here for the opening of the Legasea Aquarium. He's fought a brutal battle and I can't imagine the pain he and so many others go through with chemo and stuff. I don't watch him as often as I used to anymore, but I still catch up with him every once in a while, but when i first heard about this, man... I know the impact he had on the reptile community. He was like this day and age's Steve Irwin, but I really didn't expect him to, just like Steve, die way before his time. At least him and his pets and loved ones will be reunited soon and he will meet Steve and they're gonna light heaven on fire (not literally xD) with their positivity and energy and love of animals. And like Brian always said: "Be kind to someone, ..." Thank you for posting this video and thank you Brian for all the memories. We'll carry on your legacy and make you proud
That’s so awesome, I saw a couple back in the day but was a little later coming around to watching every day.
Him and Steve will have a lot of catching up and getting to know each other for sure 🙌
we love you brian thanks for this video praying for our friend i will walk on in his name with the strength he continues to have and love in my hart for the animals and fellow man
Amen!🙏 thank you for your faith!
Thank you for this video
Thank you for watching 🙏
@@State48TurtleTortoise 🥺👍... no thanks needed...
A friend of Brian is a friend of me...
This is the first video of yours I have seen, you seem like another genuine and passionate dude. You got a new subscriber stay strong and keep doing what you’re doing brother
Thank you so much for the kind words. I do aspire to be genuine in all I do. Brian helped me have the courage to follow my passion.
Thank you so so much again!
Hayden, I'm sorry for your dear friend's illness and wish him the comfort of family and friends. You my friend, are a wonderful example of a caring, compassionate human being.
Thanks Keith, I will be praying for his family as I know this is such a hard time for them.
I appreciate your friendship and kind words and great example you are to me
❤ Thank You for your help with, hearing about Brian, The man I came to believe he was ❤😢❤Although I didn't get to meet him in person, your Video is good!
Brian and the Family may God Bless you ALL with the memories to help you honor Him
Thank you. I’m sorry you never got to meet I’m personally but thanks to TH-cam we have years of content we can always watch whenever to always remember him 🙏
I for one, won't stop praying for a miracle. What a mighty testimony this will be, family. God HEALS. Miracles HAPPEN. Lift Brian up! Call to God and THANK HIM for healing this man. The world should not lose him. His family should not lose him. Let US hold him up on the footstool that is the enemy until he is strong enough to stand on his own.
Heal Brian, Father God! We cry out to you covered in the name of Jesus, the Christ, and know that when we do so, we can expect our answer to be Yes and Amen! Hallelujah! What a testimony this healing will be and we will SHOUT it to the world! In Jesus' name, we come Amen
Cherelle I appreciate your comment. Faith must always prevail. I would be estatic if he remained with us on this earth.
I know Brian hasn’t given up his faith in god or Christ. And I love that he mentioned that in his farewell video. Such a rock and Inspiration to all
Don't do that. That's not fair to him or his family. Wouldn't have happen to such a great soul in the first place if we had this loving God you claim. I'm not religious. I juat think it's bs when people day they're in a better place or they're gonna be healed and then thwy die anyway. Or even people telling others thwy have been healed. And then thwy die 6 months later. It's bs and it's wrong. He's an amazing person. But this is huat nature. And that's it. We are animals. And we live and we die. Some sooner than others. Brian will live on through those around him and those that knew him. But no miracles don't happen. Doctors cure people all the time. Magic don't.
I think if anyone didn't like Brian are not genuine people. He will certainly be missed.
I totally agree with you. He will be missed by all
I've been ripping into a hater on a morph market instagram post about Brian. It's disgusting that anyone could know a man isn't doing well yet still wants to run their ignorant mouth. Brian is loved by millions for a reason.
I have not come across your channel before this. It is one of the positive that can come, from something that is not optimal.
That is the kind of person Brian was. He brought people together.
Thank you.
Go easy.
also, the video wasn't boring, haha. I have a dry, self-depreciating sense of humor, so I get it, but want to also make sure I say my piece.
I appreciate the positive words. I aspire to be positive and productive just like Brian. Such a might to us all!
Thank you thank you
Haha glad to hear it. I try to have a good time, but can be boring as well
@State48TurtleTortoise l heard once, "if you're bored. You're boring."
So I've always strived to avoid getting bored haha.
This is so unfortunate :( I just can’t believe this is happening. I just got back to his channel and now I’m hearing this ☹️he will be missed by everyone 🙁❤️
He will be missed by everyone indeed. Such a shame but in his life here he has already done so much to leave a legacy behind
Ive never really gotten into brians content much so his death wasnt as impactful to me but now seeing his situation im going to check all his content out and spread his name
He is still with us as of today but the time is coming quickly. His content is amazing and I will enjoy it for years to come as well
@@State48TurtleTortoise I've seen his reptile content and he seems like such a nice guy. Hope he lives a peaceful rest of his life he deserves it
yes, that video crushed me, ..but as i posted on other commentators, president Jimmy Carter has been on hospice for at least 5 months, and was able to go to his wife's funeral
hopefully, Brian can last for a few months, in order to his Legasea open
You are totally correct. I’m still 🙏
Brian has been an inspiration for so many people. I am happy to have been able to watch Brian and learn more about animals from him. Brian has inspired many people to learn about animals and appreciate animals. Brian is a pillar to his community and one thing that I have noticed about Brian is his smile which is one of the brightest smiles I have ever seen. I also noticed his kindness and love for animals and the people in his community who he has shared his passion with. Brian loved sharing his passion of animals with people and he loved his family and community immensely. Brian has touched so many people and I am glad to have been able to learn from him and I love Brian and am forever grateful to have found his channel and I am grateful to have learned from Brian. My heart goes out to Brian’s family, crew, friends and community and Brian and his family crew friends and community will be in my thoughts and prayers. Though I never got to meet him in person I was able to learn so much from him and I enjoyed watching Brian’s Vlogs and learn from him my love goes out to Brian, his family, his friends his crew and other members of the community that Brian has brought together❤️ Brian’s legacy will live on. ❤️🙏#LoveBrian #Brian’sLegcy
Absolutely beautiful words. Thank you for sharing here. He definitely has such a bright and shining smile that no one can deny.
He has touched more people than he will ever know. Thank you for your support
Bro I just found your channel and I just want to say I'm glad I did but man I hear you. I've been watching him daily for many years that video hit different. Tore me up yeah we all love, Steve Irwin Rip but Brian hits different it's just so sad Life is crazy .😢
Hey thank you so much for the support!! Totally agree. That video was just pure and raw and full of feels for sure.
Brian is going too soon, just like Steve. 💔
Yeah man I'm going to miss him very much your turtles are beautiful! I'm getting some of my own very soon
9:25 okay
💔
😂 buen vlog
Gracias amigo
0:02 is he going to be okay😢?
It appears his time on this earth is swiftly coming to an end. This disease is taking him quickly
This is F*ked up. This is such a cruel joke life plays. We love Brian, but now we r forever stuck, wishing Brian could have seen this or wishing Brian could have done that. I have been waiting so so long to see the pumpkin gene, new gene, and all the dinkers Brian has found in the last few yrs. I just knew in my heart he had another scaless, or sunset moment. Fuk cancer and from here on out, whatever I post, #Brianbarczyk will b attached
Totally agree. It’s so hard to swallow that pill. Especially when cruel and evil people get to live a full life on earth 😢
@Mister._420 exactly all the animals and surprises im sure his friends and fans had waiting b4 and for the opening
4:03 is he dead Brian?
He is not. However he will be in hospice care now, meaning he is on his way out. Huge loss for this world 😢
I am devastated and at a loss for words. ;o( Close friends for over 20 years. I will be alright but sure will miss my friend.
I’m so sorry. Yes I could only imagine your loss for words. It’s honestly so difficult.
