Not sure what to say?

Brit was a wonderful musician and a friend to many. He was so gracious to me and helped me deal with the loss of my husband. Thank you Brit. Rest in peace.

Love and miss you, man. More than words can say. Praying for your family to have the peace that you do right now

Miss you brother Brit. It´s been a year now. When we met, the band was a 4 pc support act. Hard to believe nowadays. It was the 2009 Little piece of Dixie tour. Twin guitars knocked me out when you opened with Up in Smoke and your sticks dancing on that ride cymbal was just musical magic. You and Richard, Charlie and Paul locking it in. During the set change I came out, introduced myself and talked as you were loading gear into your trailer. Following year you headlined the same venue in...

Great Drummer. Will be missed. R.I.P. Brother.

He will be missed ALWAYS but The true fans know his spirt is at EVERYSHOW !!! Love and Miss ya Brit Turner !!! Picture from one great evening here in Denver , Co years back .

I had the pleasure of seeing Brit with BBS 4 times, in Ireland and Spain. Love the band and love your drumming, style,groove,feel and sound. RIP Brit.

You were one of the best with an incredible band. Lost my amazing brother with the same
About 20 years ago I am crying for your family and friends. So sorry

Sweet, down to earth, and a fan's man. I have been blessed to meet Brit and see the band several times. Our 70s music was and is great but BBS not only shares their music, they share (gives of) themselves.

I knew Brit from my time gigging with Bob Burns. Bob would run into Atlanta Pro Percussion to get sticks and such and we'd all get to talking shop. This was the metal daze of Nihilist...late 80s. Brit truly was a North Star burning bright. His talents...his love of family are not lost in his absence. If you see his monument...play his music. Rest in Perfect Eternal Timing...
