Wow, this comes as a shock. I just met Brian at Christmas, and really
enjoyed the week we spent together, driving to and from Laguna de
Sanchez in his Jeep, caving, touristing around, and generally having
a great time. We found we both had quite a bit in common beyond
caving-- our kids had become friends at the previous TCR, we had
similar taste in music, and were both Mac computer enthusiasts, (he
more-so than me obviously, since he was a developer) and we had
plenty to talk about. The thing that impressed me the most about
Brian, though, was that he and his wife had adopted two children, and
had gone way out of their way to try to bring some good into the
lives of these kids, and he struck me as a genuinely devoted and
caring father-- which breaks my heart the most about his sudden
passing. We kept in touch over chat from time to time, and a few days
ago I saw his name on my buddy list, and thought "I should turn him
on to some more music," but got distracted. It's hard to fathom that
today he's just-- gone. My heart goes out to his kids and wife, and
he will be missed.

I have been asked by his wife to report the accidental death of
Brian Burton from the Austin Area. Many of you met Brian on the
President's day trip to Bustamante.
He recently acquired a new BMW motorcycle and apparently was killed
on it Wednesday morning around 6:30 a.m. Anyone wishing further
info please contact me directly as his wife in inundated with calls
and procedures. If you were not fortunate enough to meet Brian I am
sorry, he was a very very very nice guy.
