For my friend Brian Byrd's daughters fund for the future.
I am writing to let everyone who would like to help out the family of a fallen racer.
Brian Byrd was a great friend and a wonderful father and husband. He lived life to the fullest. He loved hunting, fishing, racing his motorcycle and of course his family. Brian raced regularly. As much as that does not seem so shocking he did this with all his family support. You could find Brian at most of the Idaho tracks with his daughter right on his heels. Brian was so
proud of his little girl and you could see it in his smile. I was very
privileged to watch just 2 weeks ago as he and his daughter Breanna had the most wonderful on track battle and all I could think was what a special moment I was able to watch with so much envy. Brian also has another beautiful daughter her name is Danielle. She, like her Daddy, is very athletic and very much made her Dad proud. I remember Brian talking about her basketball games and you could just see he was so proud of her. Brian also has left behind a beautiful wife named Lisa. Brian's whole life was about Lisa and we could be at a race and he would say hey I need to get home or Lisa will kick my butt. I always knew that he just loved her so much he could only take so much from us.
Well Brian you were cut short of a wonderful life. I will miss you and your family will miss you. We love you and what you stood for. I am proud to call you my friend and I know you are with my son now and you're both looking out for us.
I have started a PAYPAL account for the girls. Lisa will have full control of this account and this is for the girl's future. If you feel in your heart you want to give something you can donate for the girls future. They have a ton of flowers and tons of food.
