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.

Brian and my dad got cancer within the same week or at least Brian’s video came out that week. I cry for Brian and now my dad has about a week to live and the pain is just tearing me apart . Cancer is just devastating . Prayers and love ❤

Lori's smile says it all. Such bitter sweet, miss you Bri, stay kind stay blessed

I can't help but get kinda emotional watching this. I feel like this is such a long time in the making and its finally here...or at least almost. Watching the crew rip off the wrapping, I could imagine Brian being right there with them ripping away and laughing with them. Keep up the good work you guys.. Love you all!

So much excitement! There's SO many big changes happening now. Everyone's enthusiasm is infectious!

Here's what I want to know... When Legasea is finished and ready to open, who is hosting the party??!! Not Lori, she needs a vacation when this is done!! Maybe a big party at a restaurant or park and have it catered??!! That is gonna be something to see!! The excitement, the exhaustion, the sadness of losing Brian, the pride of how much Noah has grown and taken this vlog on and made it his own... Oh man, that party is gonna be EPIC!! Good job guys, and good luck!!

So exciting. Yet gutting too. Brian would be ecstatic, so proud, so joyful. The hurt I feel can’t even start to compare to Lori and the whole team. I’m so damn sorry Brian isn’t here. 💔

[FreshRides]

I can not wait until this is done!! All the blood sweat and tears into this. The love and compassion. Seeing this through is just so beautiful 😍 once this is done my daughter and I will be making the trip from northwest indiana/Chicago area to visit!! We are so excited 😊 🤗 Brian we know how proud you are ❤

[patrickmannion]

This is so amazing. I am smiling through the tears in my eyes. Brian had a dream and although he is not here in person to see it be completed. I know he is seeing it completed. Lori, Noah and the entire construction team and the entire team at the rep are making this happen. Awesome job. I can not wait to make the trip up to see this when it is open. God Bless because you are all doing Gods work in educating people and this is a huge step toward that goal.

[pitbull]

my daughter and I can wait to drive from Chicago to come and see the LegaSea Aquarium & The Reptarium. I have followed Brian journey since snakbytes tv. I have met the crew a couple of times at the show in Tinley Park. Lori and Noah, Brian would be so proud of you guys!!!

[margiemadrazo]

Beautiful aquariums

Hello from Spain, I'm sorry I have not left any messages lately, I do watch the videos, but I found it difficult without Brian being in them. But I'm so glad everything is coming on how the lovely Lori and Brian envisioned. I hope everything works out. Noah, you are doing amazingly with stepping up. You've grown into an amazing man with your beautiful family. And Jay, how you've also stepped up and being there every step of the way, you are amazing. Everyone has done brilliantly, and I'm glad Brian could leave knowing everything will work out.
