A unique website dedicated to fishing information from Florida's Northern Big Bend. This includes the area from the Econfina River west to the Apalachicola River
One of my good friends in Moultrie passed away this week - Brian Collier
Great friend and father - you could always count on him to listen when nobody else would - he will sorely be missed.
He was a member of this site (bcollier and a few other handles) and had been part of my entire life in some shape or form.
Fair winds and following seas Brian - RIP
I don't normally do this and pretty much keep most of life private - but felt compelled to tell everyone not to take your family or friends for granite - one day they will be gone - be sure they know how much you mean to them
Truer words can't be spoken than the reminder -- thanks indeed for sharing it. Will do my best to remember it as I get the rare chance to share time with friends and family over the holidays.
"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank GOD for the United States Marine Corps." Eleanor Roosevelt, 1945
Sad news! RIP ! I think I took some redfish pics for him in the Anky this year.
Don't take a day for granted.....love your loved ones like there is no tomorrow and when lucky enough...fish the same way.
When I get to Anky the first thing I do is go look at the river and say a prayer of thanks and the last thing I do when I leave is drive down and take another look...that way...no regrets if its the last time! Day or night, I never make an exception. When you really think about it....life is a short trip!
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
Sorry for the loss to you, his family, family, and to south georgia. From the pictures, he looks like a good'ol south Georgia Boy.....Prayers sent to your family and his...
Chalk,
I met Brian when he was in nursing school. He did a rotation in the ICU where I work and we spent an 8 hr. shift working together. He did seem like a really good guy, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to him. Those were some good pictures of him you posted, he must have been a great fisherman, too. Keep those memories alive, man.
