Does anyone know what was the cause of Brian Barnes death?

Nothing criminal, if that's what you are asking, ... just the lord working in mysterious ways.

Really.....I was just curious. He was so young.

RIP. Too young. Very sad.

Wow. Very sad. If there is any consolation for his family, at least he wasn't in pain.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for Brian's funeral and expenses.

Such a sad story. But really cool and unbelievably kind gestures if you look at the donor list of who's donated. Rival MAC schools and coaches, ex kent players even basketball writers. Positive that the basketball community supports each other in difficult times.
