Brian was truly a gift in and of himself, even though he never heard how powerful he was in sending a message to the outside world that all to often looks down on those who choose to be themselves, regardless of what other people may say.
Everytime I saw him in one of the various haunts he'd go to, he was always getting awful glances by the "kind" folk Jamestown is so well known for. That didn't stop him from going about his day, nor did it persuade him to blend into the problematic society that shunned him.
Once I got to know him, his personality was as bright and different as the countless colors he'd dye his hair.
Brent, I'm sorry for your loss. He truly was a Saint that I wish more people had taken the chance to sit down and talk with him; broadening their closed minds in the process.
R.I.P. Brian. You will always be that sad towns number 1 fashion icon in my eyes 😰
