Dear friends and fans of Austin Reptile Shows, I am heartbroken to tell you all that we lost my beautiful wife, Christie, this weekend in a sudden and tragic accident. Christie was not only my wife and best friend, but also my business partner, advisor on all things educational, and the origin of Austin Reptile Shows. Our very first shows back in 2008 were designed for her second grade students at Caraway Elementary in Austin. Those of you who met her know how wonderful she was. Please keep her in your hearts.

This cute little coral snake raced off the road when I stopped to take his picture. On Camp Peniel property in Marble Falls where I was doing a show.

I am so sad. Brian was a titan in the reptile community and one of the nicest people. He will be greatly missed.
On behalf of the Barczyk family and our entire team at The Reptarium, it is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Brian Barczyk.
More than the guiding light of our organization, Brian's fervent passion for reptiles and wildlife, along with his steadfast dedication to education, has touched innumerable hearts and minds globally.
Our deepest sympathies are with Brian's family, his friends, and all those whose lives he has touched. We've lost an exceptional individual – a visionary, mentor, and friend. For those of us who had the privilege of working alongside him, Brian's absence leaves an immeasurable void.
As we navigate this difficult time, we find comfort in the memories and the lasting light of Brian's work. He will be deeply missed but indeed, never forgotten.
The Barczyk family invites you to join us for a Public Memorial Walk-through to honor Brian’s memory. The event will be held on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at Heritage Church, located at 44625 Schoenherr Rd. Sterling Heights, MI 48313 from 1-3pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to show your support by visiting https://thereptarium.com/pages/brianbarczyk . Your engagement and involvement are greatly valued during this time.
Also, at LegaSea's opening, visitors will find Brian's handprints. Guests place their hands in his, continuing his legacy in a simple, yet powerful gesture. Please continue to follow this page for updates.
Brian, we will see you in the next one. Everyone else, see you at LegaSea.
- The Reptarium Team.
