About Brian Barczyk:
Brian Barczyk was a passionate wildlife enthusiast and vlogger who dedicated his life to sharing his extraordinary journey with animals on YouTube since May 10, 2016. His remarkable adventures led him to be part of TV network series, produce “Brian In The Wild” a documentary in South Africa, travel globally to encounter incredible animals and their advocates, initiate “Checking In” a podcast, establish “AnimalConUSA” a convention for animal content creators and their fans, and create The Reptarium - an interactive reptile zoo in Utica, Michigan, among many many other achievements.
In March 2023, Brian faced the greatest challenge of his life with a diagnosis of inoperable Pancreatic Cancer. His strength, courage, and the unyielding support of the incredible #ReptileArmy community inspired him to continue sharing his story and pursuing his dreams, even in the toughest times.
Brian's vision for the LegaSea Aquarium & The Reptarium, a symbol of resilience and the power of dreams, is now a legacy that his crew and family are devoted to bringing to life in his honor. As we break ground on this expanded facility just across the street from The Reptarium, we embrace this mission as a testament to Brian's indomitable spirit.
Join Brian's crew, family, and the #ReptileArmy in continuing this inspiring journey of discovery, conservation, and hope. As we vlog the LegaSea aquarium build, embark on adventures around the world, and deepen our connection with wildlife, we pay tribute to Brian's legacy. Together, we will forge a future where every encounter with the natural world is a moment to inspire, educate, and celebrate the extraordinary tapestry of life that Brian so loved.

Wow! I stepped away from watching after Brian passed. I began watching the vlog in 2020 and really embraced and enjoyed watching and I could not emotionally handle watching. Noah, I’ve always enjoyed watching you and seeing you step into the role you have and also still honoring your Dad, I’m sobbing!

I have to say, to me, here lately the vlog has started to be a lot like what it used to be back before Brian's diagnosis. A daily dose of joy, positivity, animals, and the ups and downs of running a small business. I just mean to say that you guys are really doing it, and thank you so much for keeping what Brian started going. This channel was a dose of sunshine so many times when I desperately needed it, and I know y'all are doing that for others who need it now. Thank you. Have a blessed day.

Awe. Gabby, bless your heart. You can sure tell the footprint Brian left upon your all hearts. I can't wait for it to open. 4 hr trip from Ludington will so be worth it. I've been watching for 4 or 5 yrs now.

I can say Gabby's reaction to the shark tank hit me hard. I am a person that can feel other people emotions. It is super exciting that the shark tank is getting closer to having water in it.
-
Good morning guys this is the moment I miss Brian even more then I thought I'd could.

Fun fact: goldfish and koi mouth movements are called noots, like pingu the penguin Also sea urchins wear hats. So you could get some 3D prints hats and have a little ' find the hats' check list
