Brownbagger was the Oasis in this desert of a disease... Always hopeful, optimistic and biking and he sure inspired lots of people to lead a normal life.
will miss his presence in forum and heavens have gained a great soul....
This is really a sad news. Hope your family has strength to bear this loss and have a way of remembering the nice memories. Depression is a silent killer.
