We seem to be living in a time of sad news.
I only met Brian on a handful of occasions, but he immediately made an impression on me as
real character and a Wikimedian passionate about Wikinews. The projects will sorely miss
him.

This is awful news. I don't use Facebook these days so I hadn't heard. I
remember going to Edinburgh to do a talk years ago and spending some time with Brian. He
had a wicked sense of humour and was passionate about social justice. And interesting
taste in hats. He'll be missed.

?space?--From his non-wiki friends on Facebook, apparently he passed suddenly on
the 4th July. He was due to start cancer treatment shortly after then.
Possibly he had COVID, but it is not clear.
RIP.

Some sad news - it seems that Brian has passed away.
I'm seeing
tributes from a number of his friends on his Facebook page.
Does anyone know more?
