Oh, this is terrible news. Like so many of us taffers here, I loved bbb's FMs and he is one of my favourite authors. He also came across as a stand-up nice guy. Sending heartfelt condolences to Lisa and his family. Rest in peace bbb, you mighty fine taffer.

I'm afraid "bbb" stands for "Bye, bye, Bryan" now.:(
If you can't laugh about this, then it's completely right.

Very sad news and condolences to Bryan's family, he'll be greatly missed around here.
I've always enjoyed BBB's FMs, will fire one up later for sure.

I came here thinking I'd have to start this thread and was glad to see that ffox beat me to it. I regarded Bryan as a friend as well, having tested all his FMs and exchanged emails with him many times over the years. He was a talented mission designer and musician as well as an overall kind, patient and wonderful person. I have never tested for anyone who was easier to work with. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Rest in peace, Bryan. You will always be in our hearts.

I too want to leave my condolences.
Good Journey.

Wow, this is quite a blow to the community. bbb's missions are just plain fun, and he proved to all that you don't have to be programmer or even work in IT or a technical field to create Thief missions (he was an accountant). I (somewhat) recently helped him beta test Hammer Skull, and we were able to iron out a few issues to get it released. He was great to work with and so easy going. He will be sorely missed.
I did a little bit of Internet sleuthing, and I believe this is him (photo included): (
