He was our Brother, Our Best Friend and Our Asshole.... RIP Rev.B

[xFreebirdx]

Thank You all for the kind words and responses. It means a lot to me and Kel. I will let a few people (Rev's inner circle) and Bryans son read this thread.
I will be posting info on the Celebration of life (party) that we will be having in honor of Bryan shortly.
I will say that it may be as soon as this Saturday..........(more than likely)

Rev was my friend and a total class act. I'll miss him greatly.

So many posts for this man....having never had the pleasure of meeting him other than reading his post and his interaction here it doesn't lessen the heaviness in heart when somebody passes...esp. when that person has affected so much in others. Prayers and thoughts go out to his family and for him...there is a special place for good people like him in the next life.

The first meeting:

Walk up to the HBH in '15...Dappin everybody up
Cool voice from another direction goes "hey 40" and extends his hand as I turned around
Me: yo what's up
Him: rev b

Very sorry for the loss of your friend. Rest in peace Rev.

I hate to hear this news. I never had the pleasure of meeting Rev or even interacting with him here as I am very new to the site. However, I have seen many posts on the forums and on Instagram over the loss of Rev. He was obviously a very impactful man with a huge heart and very loved by so many. Very sorry that I never met him.

RIP Rev B

The world has truly lost one of the great ones, not many people you get to meet and know on a personal level like rev, my heart goes out to his family and friends during this time.

 

[Highlander]

I'm truly shocked at the news! He was a great guy and I'm better for having known him the little I did. I'll def. have a smoke in his honor Saturday night.

 

[Rod707]

I am sincerely sorry for your loss brother, it truly sounds like he was a great person. My deepest condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Like so many others, Bryan was one who showed me early on what this place was all about.
You are missed Brother.

There are few times in this life that you meet someone that leaves a mark on your life such as Rev left on mine and many others here. i have been blessed to know Bryan and consider myself lucky to have called him friend and brother. Seeing his face when he tasted some of those Eye-Talian pastries for the first time (he could never really pronounce sfogliatelle) was priceless. I will truly miss Bryan and will think of him daily. Everytime i eat a sfogliatelle i will think of him, everytime I make limoncello, I will put a jar aside for him, everytime I smoke a Four Kicks i will dedicate it to him.

Very nice to see brothers coming in droves to pay their respect to a great BOTL.

To quote Rev.b "Don't turn them down, turn them face down."

Saddened to hear of the loss, as so many others have said, a true BOTL if ever there was one. Thanks to @xFreebirdx for keeping us updated. If there's anything the family is in need of, or somewhere to direct memorial donations etc please post it up and I'm sure the brotherhood will come through as it's done time and again.

 

[Palama]

Prayers for Bryan and all those that knew him.

RIP brother. Too young and too soon. Prayers sent G1
