BRIAN BACHELOR's LEGACY

Without exaggeration it is easy to use outstanding, amazing, dependable, and top shelf when describing Brian. Though a common name it is unparalleled when used in his circles. There was only one Brian in this world to many. His generosity, true concern, and focus on others made one feel more than special. In any relationship there is a responsibility to fully show up. This man made his life's journey to be present for everyone he knew. To his beautiful wife Jackie, his two incredible son's Oliver and Brody, his family and friends: Brian was a constant steadfast figure in this world. He was impeccable with his word, always followed through, and the first to outstretch his hand with aid.

Brian was the man who made it happen, used challenges as learning tools, never judged, and smiled through it all. He would give the shirt off his back, was honest to a fault, and the unsung lifesaver to many during crisis. Though he could be a man's man, he had a delicacy, humility, and modesty about him that made anyone feel genuinely safe and cared for. That trait is greatly credited to his parents and siblings, wife, and sons. His parents raised a boy to become a hard working stellar man. Jackie along his side molded their union into a wonderful success. While their sons modeled, trusted, and used him as an example to succeed in all areas of life, as he was their best friend. Values, virtues, and character are passed from generation to generation. Brian took this belief seriously and excelled with it by the love he put into his life.

In a world that often takes advantage of people's weaknesses, Brian shored up and strengthened his world. Life isn't always perfect and magical, but Brian certainly made it worth the effort every single day. He was a defender and preserver of personal integrity and displayed it daily. It was more than an honor to witness his loving family and friends as we all rode along on his life's journey. To say his absence will leave a hole is like referring to the Grand Canyon as just a ditch.

Brian was in Seaside training for an upcoming summer overseas surfing event. Without warning he shockingly passed away in the water with little incident. Ironically the only printed words on his retrieved surfboard were "Seaside and Beyond". Please help fund this impressive man's legacy. His family stands stunned, lost, astonished, and devastated as they are forced to grieve the surprising loss of their leading man.
