Brian "BT" Trainer

I was just thinking about you and talking to you in the last couple of days. Well, I actually say little prayers for you often. That's because I know that any prayers we say for you here reach you there, and it hopefully helps you to achieve whatever level of enlightenment you want to gain on your time on the other side. Anyway, until the next time that I talk with you which, of course, will be soon (very soon). Hugs and thoughts of YOU BT, Adrienne

Olah BT, I'm thinking that you must be a level 3 or level 4 soul. You must really be enjoying all of the different things you can do, to your soul's delight, in the blink of an eye. I must say, I'm a bit mystified as to why none of your close buddies that you grew up with, have posted any messages to you. Especially the ones that you were so close to, at different times in your life and then perhaps faded in and out with as happens during one's life here on this planet. OR maybe they...

Hi again BT. I know you know, that I talk to you often. I must say, I'm envious of your freedom!

Love YOU Brian. Say Hi to Stevie Ray for me BT!

It was honor to know and play music with BT in Rock Residue. His talent, passion and sense of humor will never be forgotten. RIP, my friend.

It was a privilege to have known BT and play with him in Rock Residue. He was one-of-a-kind for sure. Always to be remembered. Peace and healing to his family and his many friends.

BT - I´m gonna miss you, man. To BT´s family and friends - I am so sorry for your loss. My dad, Rick Hale, played with BT in Rock Residue, and all the band members were family to me. I had a whole gang of "crazy uncles" who I adored and looked forward to seeing every chance I got. I was delighted to reconnect with BT after moving back to the PNW in 2017 - and as an adult with a family of my own. My husband and I talked with BT through Facebook messenger, and we helped scour Salem-area thrift...

BT was a great spirit, if a little freer than some. He was a fine guitar player and an excellent student of the instrument. He was a lotta fun to gig with and I will treasure the time we spent together on and off stage.
