I wish we'd stayed in touch after our sports stringer days at The Washington Star. Too bad there was no Facebook or Instagram or Twitter in 1981. RIP, "Burd."

I worked with Brian for a short time at the Detroit news when he was first hired there. Very humble and congenial guy. I had more than one Coney Dog with him at Lafayette Coney Island and a few beers at the Anchor Bar. Sorry for your loss

Belated condolences to his family. No one ever made me feel more a part of a press box. No one ever will. Godspeed. Wherever Burwell is now, they can't believe their luck.

My sympathies to the family for a great loss. Mr. Burwell was not just a fine journalist and one of the best, but an equally fine man.

Just learned of Bryan's death today, 01/23/15. I live in Seattle, WA and am not always current on news from my birthplace, St. Louis, Mo.
I knew Bryan primarily from podcasts of Sports Radio 920, but also fom his work at stltoday.com. He was a top-notch writer and reporter, who exuded warmth and enthusiasm for life, people, and his profession.
My life has been enhanced by long-distance contact with Bryan Burwell, the man and the journalist. I know I am not alone with this...
