Not gonna lie hearing Brian's goodbye still makes me tear up, Lori and Jay are keeping Brian's love of content and we all know he's looking down with his extatic excitement we all adored. RIP Brian and thank you for the 8 years of content I watched you over❤
I’ve watched it multiple times and makes me sob! I love and miss Brian so much but glad his LegaSea Aquarium is coming together! I had no idea it would take this long, but there’s so much they’ve been doing and are a great team!
@mspears_bobobuddytheseniorcat Its incredible the strength and determination Lori and the crew have shown, not gonna lie but I lost a lot of indispensable people 1 every year. My best friend and who I called brother in 2021 to ketosis from undiagnosed diabetes My soul dog Harley 2022 and then my nan and best friend in the family 2023, I feel there pain and Lori and crew are the reason I'm still here from them marching through with the Legasea build while being real and showing the pain.
I just can't believe he's gone, i first watched his vids in covid but after a while i took a break then i hear some balled guy was dying but i recognised something.....THAT NAME THAT FACE so i searched for any prev footage and.......I FOUND MY HORRIFIC DISCOVERY HE WAS GONE 😢
Thank you for doing this story. Brian changed so many lives and gave so many people including myself confidence in life. Brian was and always will be an inspiration to everyone out there.
Brian we will always say your name, and we we will never forget you ❤️ Lori is amazing, the reptile army is as strong as ever. The aquarium build SO exciting! Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿❤️🇺🇸
I became a fan of the late Brian about 6 years ago as I was scared of snakes I looked on RUclips to help battle my fears . Living in Wales I don’t get to see many reptiles and I learnt to love and appreciate all of his reptiles by watching his channel. He is missed all over the globe 💜👏🏻💜
R.I.P. Brian I’m a 22 year old and have grown up watching your reptile videos thank you for teaching me so much and how to respect animals.. fly high brotha.
Great story, been watching Brian for years. I’m so happy the channel didn’t stop. I watch every day and I’m praying I can afford to be there opening day. To have the chance to touch the tree Brian signed or or place my hand with his would be a dream come true
I was really sad when he passed away, I always love his videos. It's really good to enjoy it, Rip Bryan, we will always never forget you, and you're friends and family always carry your legacy
I miss Brian every day! I watch his vlog daily and have for years. My small way of paying tribute to him, his crew and his family. Thank you for supporting him, I know he would be so happy to be remembered in such a way. ❤️
Lori looks so beautiful. I love that top on her and her hair. I'm so happy to see Brian's dream coming true thanks to his amazing Wife, family and friends. I live 2 hours south of LegaSea. My work just closed its facility and is laying us off. Kinda forgot that I wanted to get a job at LegaSea but I live too far away. My Mom just found out her results yesterday and is fighting cancer again. Prayers to everyone going through such hardships.
Brian was and continues to be an inspiration to so many people. He helped millions of people get over their fear of snakes and brought so much love and awareness to the Reptile Hobby. He will always be remembered.
This brought me to tears, Brian was, and still is an inspiration. His wife and the team are amazing at keeping his Legacy alive, and inspire as well. I am so thankful for them in my life!
Lost my dad and my husband to pancreatic cancer. Like Brian, it was too late by the time they both found out. Thanks for drawing attention to it. Hopefully it helps save others.
Brian was and is a hugely inspirational person! Lori has been absolutely amazing and fully committed to realizing Brian's vision. You can tell whenever you hear Lori, Brian, or anyone else involved with creating this amazing aquarium that this isn't about making money for them. They will obviously make money but this is about the love and passion for the animals!
Brian was such an awesome person and he definitely changed my views on reptile's.🦎🦎 I've been a fan and a follower of the reptile army for a long time and to watch Brian build up the reptarium. and now to see Lori and Jay and his team fulfill his dreams of this aquarium is absolutely amazing. And I know Brian is with them in Spirit the whole way and is proud to every single one of them from his team to all the other people who have been working so hard to make his dream a reality
Thank you for doing another interview. Please make sure your team goes out and records the Legasea when it’s grand opening. Brian, his family and workers(family) deserve this recognition! Beautiful news coverage!
In tears once again over the loss of a great man who has educated and influenced so many in such a positive way. ABC7 Thank you for sharing Brian's story on Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day. We need to be aware because pancreatic cancer is so sneaky and so deadly. And it is ruthless and quick. By the time symptoms appear it is usually too late. We beed to find a routine inexpensive way to screen for this that insurance companies would be willing to pay for . Come on AMA, you need to speak out more! Americans Cancer Society, make some noise!Researchers should be incentivized to make this a screening a priority goal like mammograms and other screening. Let's spread this awareness!!!
Omg this made me tear up! The ongoing recognition of the LegaSea is absolutely amazing! I do have to say tho hearing Bryan's goodbye video again really hurt my heart! I'm so sorry Lori and crew! You guys are doing a fantastic job tho!
Oh my heart, this has me in tears. 🙏🏼R.I.P Brian, you’ll be forever missed🙏🏼. My heart still breaks for Lori and their kids. This news station did such a beautiful job along with the anchors. Such genuine people. Bless you all. 🙏🏼🤗
It's been a year but it feels like it was just yesterday. The world lost one of the most enigmatic, passionate and wholesome animal lovers the world didn't know it had. And his good friend Dingo died recently too, who was also one of these titans of the animal conservation and knowledge. The animal world lost 3 great men but I've no doubt Steve Irwin, Brian Barczyk and Dingo Dingleman are still having the most amazing adventures together in the next world, having a blast. Lori and everyone at the Reptarium (and beyond) have shown a strength and will power to keep moving forward that amazes and inspires. They are Brian's legacy and I've no doubt in all the world that they are making him prouder than ever before. I hope one day I'll get to visit Legasea and see what such an amazing man and visionary created. Rest in peace, fellas.
The LegaSea of a Legend will forever be remembered and continued by his friend, family and all those who’s hearts he’s touched on and off the screen RIP Brian deeply missed but never forgotten! ❤
Beyond words, beyond measure, Brian's heart, his ability to connect to all of us creatures, the love he's left legitimately throughout the world, that magic lives on in each of us he touched. His legacy, and LegaSea, remind us of the potent potential, and the power of Positivity. Echoes in cabin...Remember, be kind to someone today, and grateful to whomever you see tomorrow. 🐊🐍🐢
I started watching his channel when he was 1st diagnosed. I'm not a fan of snakes, but I have had a bearded dragon. Even though I don't want anything to do with snakes. I have watched every video after I was suggested his page. I did that because it helped him and Lori since they will get paid from RUclips for people watching the videos and liking the video's. When I started watching his channel the way I feel about snakes gradually changed. A few months after he was diagnosed I was comfortable enough to hold a snake for a few minutes. Not the kind of snakes they have since they have some really big snakes and I'm very much not at a place emotionally to hold a big snake. I live in Utah and I would love to see the LegaSea Aquarium some day. RIP Brian.
Thanks so much for doing this story! Brian has helped shape the lives and livelihoods of so many animal lovers (mine included) around the world! Lori and the crew are doing an amazing job making this dream become a reality!
Miss you Brian. You inspired me and my family so much. We follow daily the amazing build and plan to mak the drive from Simcoe Ontario when it opens. Lori is a rockstar and we love her and the team dearly❤
I miss Brian, having snakes myself, I really enjoyed watching, and learning from him, he is dearly missed. I lost my own father to pancreatic cancer about 10 years ago, when Brian announced his diagnosis, my heart just sunk, I knew the statistics, I prepared myself for the loss of Brian. I wish I lived on that side of the country, so I could go and see his last project ❤
What a beautiful package you guys put together honoring Brian's memory and legacy. I've been watching his videos for over 15 years and plan to make the long trip out from California to Utica when the Legasea opens up next year!
Has it really been that long? I still watch the vlog and Lori and the team are doing great at building the legasea. Glad you focused more on his animals than the cancer. Brian was one of the best, and his passion was what made him who he is.
Forever a fan of Brian, his crew at the Reptarium and rooting for Lori and his kids. Sending big hugs to them and I can't wait to see the LegaSea be finished! I follow the daily uploads on their youtube channel for the behind the scenes and they really have come such a long way! it's had ups and downs as all big tasks do, but its getting closer and closer! Please consider supporting them by watching their youtube too if you can't give to the gofundme and want to support somehow!
A complete tragedy for the community and the world at large. Brian was one of a kind on every level. Watching the Legasea being built kills me everyday because Brian isn't here to see it. I miss you every single day my friend. I will cherish your memory always. Lori, team, your strength is beyond words admirable. I know you work through the pain of Brian's loss every second of the day. Thank you for keeping the dream alive. Love you all ❤
Our school had an assembly with animals from the Reptarium. The kids were in awe of the crwatures and the animal handlers did a great job educating the children about the reptiles. I can’t wait for Legasea to open! Good luck with your project.
I saw this being filmed on Brian's vlog yesterday, glad I was able to see the finished product. Thanks for the information on pancreatic cancer 💜 and the update on Brian's dream. 🐊🐢🦎🐍🐠🦈🐟
I remember Brian’s last video and it brought me many tears. Seeing a clip of it again brought the tears back. I don’t know how his family and friends were able to watch it or edit it. I don’t think I could. I certainly understand losing my parents way too young. Both congestive heart failure.
Still so hard to believe he passed. I remember watching his goodbye video and sobbing through it 💔💔 So glad to hear the aquarium is almost finished, and I hope this project has given his family some level of peace.
I watched him since Snakebites. It was heartbreaking seeing he never got to see the finish of the project but it couldn't be in any more capable hands.
❤r.i.p Brian b ❤ i hope when this is open I hope world 🌎 come to visit there on open day p.s shout Nelson and dingo s family sending you❤ at time all so big thank u to all teams helped Brian lory u all wonderful people ❤️ u all ps big shout gator land love u lot there to much love u all from rob in uk 🇬🇧 over pond been following all u and send peace love kindness all no matter fath ect we all humans must ❤ each other with no boundaries ❤️ love all read this I send u all love from my heart and pray better world we live in God bless ❤ each one u and family s farmers workers ect ❤❤❤❤

No video ever made me cry more. I can’t watch it without a flood of tears coming.
@mspears_bobobuddytheseniorcat Its incredible the strength and determination Lori and the crew have shown, not gonna lie but I lost a lot of indispensable people 1 every year.
My best friend and who I called brother in 2021 to ketosis from undiagnosed diabetes
My soul dog Harley 2022 and then my nan and best friend in the family 2023, I feel there pain and Lori and crew are the reason I'm still here from them marching through with the Legasea build while being real and showing the pain.
@@julievanderleest I can only think of 3 times other than the video I did the same ❤️
I just can't believe he's gone, i first watched his vids in covid but after a while i took a break then i hear some balled guy was dying but i recognised something.....THAT NAME THAT FACE so i searched for any prev footage and.......I FOUND MY HORRIFIC DISCOVERY HE WAS GONE 😢
I'm a pancreatic cancer survivor, and Brian's journey was difficult for me to watch. He was an incredible person.
We miss you, Brian.
Wishing you all the best🌷
Thank you for covering Brian's story. We all still miss him
Thank you for doing this story. Brian changed so many lives and gave so many people including myself confidence in life. Brian was and always will be an inspiration to everyone out there.
Brian has been my hero for many, many years.
Thank you for honoring Brian's memory. We will never forget him.
That goodbye video was the hardest video I've ever watched!
Seeing Lori and the Crew put all this together is incredible!!!!!
We love Brian. Never stop saying his name!
Brian was such a light in the world. He has this joy that was so pure when he was with his animals
Miss Brian so much but so grateful for him sharing his dream 💖
RIP Brian. Glad y'all are doing a coverage of the aquarium. It's getting close finally!
Brian we will always say your name, and we we will never forget you ❤️ Lori is amazing, the reptile army is as strong as ever. The aquarium build SO exciting! Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿❤️🇺🇸

Saw a Brian’s goodbye and Lori crying and I lost it!! 😭 RIP Brian
Lori looks so beautiful. I love that top on her and her hair. I'm so happy to see Brian's dream coming true thanks to his amazing Wife, family and friends. I live 2 hours south of LegaSea.

This brought me to tears, Brian was, and still is an inspiration. His wife and the team are amazing at keeping his Legacy alive, and inspire as well. I am so thankful for them in my life!
Thanks for keeping the Reptarium family in your hearts and minds. Brian was an exceptional human and really deserves to be remembered
Lost my dad and my husband to pancreatic cancer. Like Brian, it was too late by the time they both found out.
Thanks for drawing attention to it. Hopefully it helps save others.
Hey, I saw them filming this yesterday on the reptarium channel 👍
The RUclips channel is "Brian Barczyk".
Brian was and is a hugely inspirational person! Lori has been absolutely amazing and fully committed to realizing Brian's vision. You can tell whenever you hear Lori, Brian, or anyone else involved with creating this amazing aquarium that this isn't about making money for them.

It’s crazy that it’s been almost a year since Brian passed away. We definitely miss him.
Animal Con without him was really fun, and his team did great, but yeah there's def a "it's been a year already?"
An amazing human. I still watch almost every morning
In tears once again over the loss of a great man who has educated and influenced so many in such a positive way.

We may have lost Brian but his reptile army continues on. He is a legend & Lori has done an amazing job filling those giant shoes left behind.

Still so hard to believe he passed. I remember watching his goodbye video and sobbing through it 💔💔 So glad to hear the aquarium is almost finished, and I hope this project has given his family some level of peace.
I had to pause that goodbye video at least 4 times to make it through. I cry anytime I see it but try not to watch it much because it’s heartbreaking
I saw the video they posted yesterday, and I noticed you guys were filming something, thanks for the vid
Awesome story for amazing people
Much love, Lori
