Another Soldier Falls

I received this e-mail late last night. It saddens me that I didn't get a chance to know Rev Brett better than the little contact I had with him. He was a true pioneer, a soldier, a human being filled with love and compassion, and he will most definitely be missed. Our only comfort is in knowing that his energy persists, and that the mission he started will be continued and carried out by others.

[UPDATE] Apparently, Rev. Harris suffered a heart-attack last week.

Rest In Peace, good Reverend!

Rev. Brett Harris, the founder of Friends of Bryce and Ergonomical Ministries, passed away on New Years Day 2010. He was 48 years old at the time of his death.

In honor of the man and his work there will be an online visual here on the Friendsofbryce ning network in the chat room.

Date: This Sunday 3 January 2010
Time: 9PM Central Standard Time
Where: on the Friends of Bryce network on Ning



Come and meet other network members and lets remember the man and his vision that started all of this and brought us together.


FYI on Friends of Bryce

The ministry of Friends of Bryce has been in contact with most ministers. It has been decided that the work of Rev. Brett Harris should not stop with his sudden death. Myself with Gary Konnecky are working with the other ministers to continue both FOB and Ergonomical Ministries. The Mari Rev's work will not be lost and his vision will move forward.

We will be having a private Ministry meeting in 2 weeks after mourning Rev. After the meeting there will be an official release as to when and how Rev's work will continue.

As of right now the private network is going to stay up and running and as far as we know his other websites will too. In the event that everything is taken down I have all of your email address's and the private network will be rebuilt and one by one the others will follow.

Any questions on FOB need to be directed to me at the Ministry of Civic Awareness: Sheilaputang on yahoo

Hope to see you all Sunday Night.

Lets Remember the Man
that brought this movement together.

Rev you're free now to soar with the other angels.
You will be truly missed but never forgotten.

  1. I can't help but notice how it's been two days since news of Rev Brett Harris' passing, and not one of those so called champions of equality and critics of ex-gay therapy have yet to make mention of the news.

  2. I knew this man only as "Rev", fairly regular poster on a message board I moderate and never had the honor of meeting him in person. I just found out about his death on Friday. I knew he had some health struggles, but was amazed and inspired by the way he always managed to find the energy to be an advocate for the mentally ill as well as other causes he championed.

    We had our differing opinions from time to time, but the passion behind his opinions always came from a place of love and caring and I greatly respected this man and his contributions to our support community. I will miss him.

    I wish comfort and light to friends and colleagues who are grieving.
