Brian Bowers
Is there a member on this board named Brian Bowers?
The reason I am asking is he is one of my Facebook friends and it was announced today that he died. I don't know him personally, just someone who asked to be a FB friend some time ago. I would say a good majority of my FB friend are FTE members but with different handles we use I'm not sure who everyone is outside of FTE. I just wanted to see if he was a member here and if he was I thought we should all know about his passing. If you know Brian and he is an FTE member please let us know his FTE name. I've probably conversed with him here but I just cant connect the names.

Yes but he has been inactive for a long time Brian_B was his name. I surely hope you have been misinformed
I met brian years ago at the supernats at Knoxville. He is a great guy. I did read on his FB that he was having some problems
Back in the day he was a regular for Saturday Night Chat here on FTE

When I went to his time line his last post was April 11th. His FB friends indicate he has a lot of friends from this board.
I just figured I'd post because we've had a few "roll call" posts here to see who is still around. From what I could see on his FB page he's a few younger than me.

Since this threat has sort of moved in this direction, I want to put my plug in for considering the gift of organ donation. Many of us have family, friends, or others known to us that were affected by the miracle of transplants. Give it some thought and sign up, if you so choose. Thanks.

First I heard of his passing was this morning. I knew he wasn't doing well with the kidney transplant and all, but it's still shocking and sad. I've chatted with him over the years on here, FTF, and on FB, even after he quit his regular posting on this site. What stood out to me, was that he kept his '56 F100 simple, and drove it daily, without the urge to completely hotrod it, like 99% of '56 F100 owners do, (to me it seems, at least).
RIP Brian_B

Guys my understanding is Brian Bowers has passed. I gave Brian the lead on the 56' he ended up with. Him and his dad drove non stop from Arkansas to Sevierville, TN to buy it. As Kevin stated he was a very good guy. Godspeed my brother. Very sad moment.
