Brian Barnaud

Brian was the garnish that made Deep Ellum special. Amazing person and incredible photographer.

This message is from Arfeli Fortich Ecarma. I am so sorry to know of Brian's passing by accident through the internet. To Beverly, Berkely, Scott, Taylor, Tori and Garrett, my husband Rene, children Bobby, Annette, Andrea, Ricardo Nino and I condole and grieve with you. Brian is now with our Lord and Al.

Brian was our neighbor for only one year, but if felt more like ten. There are a hundred stories we have that involve him, and this past weekend most of them have been shared with the rest of the gang. Not once did any story involve anything that resembled a temper from Brian. What a wonderful human being. We all miss him terribly. Peace be with you, Brian.

I "knew" Brian from all the way back in grade school, but being a year behind him, I never really "met" him until about February of this year on Facebook. He sent a "friend request" one day out of the blue, which I accepted. I sure am happpy I did. Over the next five months or so, we stayed in fairly frequent touch, and I quickly came to appreciate his quirky sense of humor and his overall enthusiasm about pretty much everything. It really stunned me to learn of his passing, but I am really...

I new Brian in the early days. I remember seeing Brian almost daily for our entire 12 years of school. Spring Valley, Northwood, and snapping photos on the sideline of a Richardson Eagle football game. Over the years I had seen his name under a number photographs. At our 10 year reunion, Brian was one of the first people to come over and say hello to me and my wife. He asked if I rememered who he was? How could I ever forget Brian Barnaud? We will miss you..............

I've known Brian for the past three years. As his neighbor I had the pleasure to see Brian on a daily basis. It is hard walking the property now, you half expect to see him pop up somewhere or knock on our door to discuss Star Trek or Battlestar. Brian had a habit of taking care of others before he would ever think of taking care of himself. My wife and I loved Brian and miss his daily interruptions and jovial personality. The building will never be the same. Hopefully, we can do our...

Brian was a great customer and was always willing to help anyone in need. He'll be terribly missed in Deep Ellum.

I spent yesterday fondly remembering growing up with Brian or Bributt as we called him. We were the younger girls that I'm sure got on his nerves playing flashlight tag outside with the older boys. I remember him & his friends building amazing xmas tree forts and horse apple barracades across the street in our neighborhood. The big brother I didn't have that I got to share with his sister. Those were fun times! I can't believe he is gone. You are all in my prayers. I love you like my...
