RIP Brian Itzaina

[Admiral Ackbar]

definitely unfortunate, seemed like a solid dude.

man now the circumstances have been revealed that is really upsetting. he always seemed super positive on here

For sure. Just by reading through his posts there was no indication that he was anything other than psyched about whatever he commented on. It's a real bummer.

i thought it might been a crash on one of his bikes/motorbikes, he always seemed so hyped on life. at least he made the most the time he had

Motorcycle accident was my thought initially too. I didn't know him personally but he seemed like a good dude.reading this really bummed me out we were supposed to meet up soon to ride. Hope he found
 Peace from whatever drove him to take his life. RIP Brian.

i was reading his girlfriends(wife?) facebook page and i couldn't help but cry. she's handling it so tough, i feel so sorry for her.. can't even imagine having someone that close to you just disappear like that..

[joe p.]

Yeah, I googled him and came across his girlfriend's Facebook page from a comment she posted on the RideBMX site. She said something about losing the guy she wanted to have children with and I almost lost it. This shit is too real for a fucking website about BMX bikes.

Oh man....such a bummer that a young life is cut short. I've been mainly a lurker here since 2005 but I remember seeing Brian's posts here and there throughout his time on the board. It really brings to heart that each of us is unique and are in our own set of circumstances, but BMX somehow brought us all together here on this forum. I hope his friends and family can somehow find peace.

I liked his signature. It made me smile when I would see it.

Just saw this on the ride site and knew i recognized the name, sucks i was right!

Ride In Peace Brian

 

[Tooth Paste]

I haven't logged onto this site in a good amount of time (I used to be Kaar Trijj). Saw the thread posted on Dick's facebook.

Sucks losing people who were a part of the BMX world, but it's even worse when he's part of the BG family.

Rip

man that is rough.


RIP Brian.

[BrokenEnglish]

Man. That shit hits hard. He may have just been a random dude on the internet that I'd never have the chance of meeting, but still. Fuck. He seemed like he was living life to the fullest. Can't believe things ended the way they did.

R.I.P. Brian.

[Zoidberg]

i thought this was the brian histand thingy so only just bothered to check it.

fucking horrific. poor dude.

[attactrl]

I gotta say, this sucks. I bought a complete Sunday from him when my bike was stolen a could years back, he hooked it up and made sure I was happy. He was such a great guy on here too.

RIP Brian.

[Brooklynrider]

It seems that the best die young. I also didn't know him too well but judging by his posts, he seemed like an awesome dude.
RIP Brian

[paulie]

awful news, my condolences.

always seemed like a decent sort when he posted on here, hope his friends and family are doing ok.

[Trail-Boss]

I rarely come on here anymore and I've know of this since yesterday but I had to say rest in peace.

I was just texting him the other day about the workbenches that we built and some other stuff and this is really just a huge horrible surprise as he seemed to be just as happy as he has ever been since I had met him a bit over 3 years ago. We had many a good time together and he stayed at my old apartment a few times. Going to miss him without a  doubt.

This picture is old but has many BG members in it. Brian Humping me, Couch, Donald, Corey, CarlsbadMike, HoshPosh, Black Josh... Good times!



All crack a beer for Brian!

[Hank Chinaski]

If there's a service or anything for him you guys are welcome to come stay with me Ethan.

RIP Brian. I only met you a couple times but you were kind to me and we had some laughs. Wish we had hung out more often.
