"The Adventure Lies in the Unknown". "Bluebeard", aka Jeff Brown.

It is with great sadness and sense of loss that I tell you that at 3 A M on Sunday, January 18, 2009, this amazing and loving person said a final goodbye to his loyal friend Rusty, who was by his side.

Some people are just too good for this world. Jeff was tough, yet senstive, understanding and wise. He offered friendship and good advise, loved to see folks smile and he's surely the most honest man I have ever known. A very proud man, perhaps a genius in a lot of ways; his self-esteem only enhanced his appreciation of other people. He has left many, many friends and folks who will always love him.

I was watching him one day as he was parked with the Flag Bike at the monument beach in Haleiwa, Hawaii. He talked to this person for about fifteen minutes and then, just before they left, he looked straight in their eyes and said, "You know, I have traveled thousands of miles across this great country and I sometimes meet hundreds of people a day....but I never have met anyone like you before." He had that way of making everyone feel special. He had a gift of inspiring them to live life to the fullest. He brought love and joy in to my life and I am thankful that I was able to know him.

Aloha Nui Loa, Jeff and A Hui Hou (until we meet again...) sharon
