Born Bryant Casey, his eyes called beautiful by many, truly a window to their soul. Brie accomplished more in nearly 25 years than most do in an entire lifetime. Passionate about life, the government, the earth and, most of all, people, they fought from an early age for equality. Brie worked hard to protect others from those that would do them harm. Brie demanded more from our elected representatives and our society. They worked in rural Alaska at the Meyers Farm and developed an interest in permafrost gardening, traveling by backpack through Iceland on his way to Austria to learn more. Brie taught anyone who would listen about plants and herbs, dabbling in concocting their own tinctures to organically treat what ailed you. Brie traveled from Seattle, Wash., to Oakland, Calif., to join others and protest the unfairness to people there and stopped to assist an indigenous peoples quest to grow better food on a reservation in Arizona. An avid reader, their books included the classics as well as the philosophy of Zizek. Brie loved the outdoors and bike rides along the coastal trail. To their friends, they were an accomplished violinist and loved music. They were beautiful throughout, friendly and compassionate to their very core, Brie touched more lives than any of us can imagine and was poised to change our world for the better. While they passed from this world on Aug. 28, 2016, far too soon, they shall not be forgotten. Brie will be forever missed and always in our hearts, our thoughts and our souls. Brie, you will always be loved.
